Woodlands Day Nursery (Barnet)

Woodlands is a wonderful, wonderful place and both my children have thrived there. The staff are warm and welcoming and genuinely care about the children in their care. It feels homely and I get the strong feeling that the staff really enjoy working there too, which makes a huge difference to the environment. When my youngest goes to school we will be sad to leave!

The staff at Woodlands Barnet are outstanding, my children have attended for 5 years now and I am really happy with the staff in preschool, in particular. There are a number of very committed, extremely caring and patient staff that make me feel very at ease leaving my child at nursery for a full day.

We felt truly happy, confident and lucky that our son went to Woodlands. During his two years at Woodlands, he developed extremely well and his teachers were constantly monitoring his progress. Staff are very well trained in all areas of childcare. Everything is high quality, from food to toys. The childrens learning is relaxed and effective. All the staff are very happy, polite, friendly and extremely helpful. The best nursery in Barnet.

Thank you.

Our daughter started at the nursery 9 months ago and we have been so glad we chose Woodlands (Barnet). She has developed so much in this time and become a much more confident toddler. We have been so impressed with all the staff, who are friendly and caring. This is a very well organised and welcoming nursery and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

I'm so happy to have a nursery that is staffed by such caring and knowledgable individuals. Every member of staff knows the name of my children and due to a low turnover of staff, most have a good understanding of their behaviours and needs, even without being based in their rooms. My children have great relationships with their carers and I love that the management team always have their door open, willing to listen, answer and help.

She has thrived since being here and enjoys her time with the staff and her friends. She has learnt a lot and is developing well. The staff are always available to discuss any concerns.

We are very happy with Woodlands Nursery and have already recommended it to friends.

Such a lovely place to arrive on a cold winter morning. Everyone is friendly and supportive and it is a really good start to the day for parent and child.

Our son has transitioned to Bumblebees and flourished. He has grown and developed and is super happy. Couldn't wish for a better place.

Lovely environment and will be sad when he leaves in September.

My son loves every minute of his time at nursery. All the staff work exceptionally hard to provide a safe, nurturing and happy environment. I can't thank them enough.

Our eldest son spent all of his pre-school years at Woodlands and loved every minute. So when looking for a nursery for our youngest, Woodlands was our first choice. Seeing him settle in, in the capable hands of the wonderful staff, has made what can be a very anxious time for parents a really happy one.

Overall, I’ve been really pleased with the nursery. Some of the staff are excellent. My child has learned a lot. It is quite a small space for the children and some of the facilities could be improved. I have liked it enough to send my second child there too.

My daughter (11 months old) started in November and has been attending two days a week. The staff have been wonderful in trying to settle her in. She is the kind of girl that once relaxed and trusts people, she will show her true character which she is definitely starting to do. Every time she goes, she gets more and more comfortable and is happy to go with the nursery staff. Woodlands have been fantastic in making me feel comfortable as well, and every single person there is a genuinely nice caring person. I'm sure over time, I will only say more positive things about the nursery, as I get to see the positive impact it has on her.

Sending our children to Woodlands in High Barnet was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Our son and daughter started going to Woodlands since they were 10 months old. For the last 3.5 years, Woodlands staff has felt like an extended family. We can’t thank them enough for caring for our children with so much love and dedication. Our son and daughter have turned out to be very independent, confident and happy children. Over the years we have had some changes in our childcare needs, and Woodlands has always been very flexible and accommodating. We could not have survived these first years of parenthood without Woodlands and certainly could not recommend Woodlands highly enough!

My son has been attending Woodlands Day Nursery (Barnet) since he was one year old. It has been a truly wonderful experience and has laid a positive foundation for his future. He has made friendships which will be lifelong. The staff are attentive and supporting. It has been very helpful to see how they are preparing him for his next adventure - reception! Everything they are doing is helping to build his confidence. I am so happy with this experience that I have enrolled his younger brother!

All three of my children have attended Woodlands Nursery since 2009 and I have no regrets. It is a wonderful family to belong to, with caring nursery nurses and management. The standards at the nursery are high and the food delicious, according to my children, who have often asked me to replicate dishes made at nursery. The fact that the staffing has not changed a great deal since we started is also a good sign that it is a great place to work. My youngest is leaving Woodlands to start school this year and we are happy (no more fees) but also sad that we won’t be part of The Woodlands family anymore. In particular, the manager and her team are excellent and always willing to assist.

Great facilities and staff who have gone above and beyond with my son. He loves each day at Woodlands and although he’s leaving for reception, we look forward to starting his sister later in the year.

We are very happy for our son to go to Woodland Day Nursery. It is a recommendation from our friends who had sent their child there some years ago. They have kept their standard caring for the children, and the manager, in particular, is very accommodating to both the needs of our child and us as parents. Our son has multiple food allergies which require extra thinking and work of the chef (nursery) but they are so happy to hear our suggestions and willing to go the extra mile to cater for his needs. I am especially thankful that the team always has time to answer any question and concerns around our child. I can't think of a better way to start a day as I truly feel that our baby is in safe hands when I needed to dash to work. Thank you all!
