Woodlands Day Nursery is a beautiful property, converted to create a 77 place day nursery of the highest quality.

Friendly and well-established, Woodlands provides a happy, sociable environment where every child is treated as an individual.

Much of the character of the building has been retained to provide spacious and interesting rooms with first class facilities. There are many sensory areas where the children can explore using all their senses....

Excellent rapport with nursery staff, no problem too much. My daughter has settled in quickly and has really grown in her four months here. Absolutely the best choice nursery for her!

Review from Nisha P (Mother of Child) published on 19 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

My son started at Woodlands at the start of March and within a months has settled really well. He was at another nursery from the age of 10 months but never really settled well, crying whenever he was dropped off. He was there for 14 months! in comparison he has settled at Woodlands within one month! He runs off smiling whenever I drop him off smiling whenever I drop him off and doesn't want to leave when we collect him. This is all thanks to the amazing staff at Woodlands. They appear consistently happy and this is reflected in my sons recent behaviour and development, so thank you Woodlands.

Overall Experience

Fantastic key workers and staff. Management can be slow to respond to queries and issues. Late to respond to emails.

We feel very lucky to be able to send our children here. My daughter was here from 10 months till she was 3 and my son is starting now at 10 months. Lovely staff. Very happy.

It is so nice to leave your children with people you trust completely.

Overall Experience

My 13 month old started at Woodlands in April 2015 and the staff were really good in settling him in, getting to know him and making sure he was happy. I was so pleased with the attention to detail i.e dislikes/likes.
