Woodlands Early Learning

Woodlands is an excellent nursery. They take such care looking after the children, support their development and always have a variety of activities for the children to take part in, including spending lots of time in their large garden.

A wonderful nursery with caring and supportive staff. Both of my children have attended Woodlands at Barnes Lane from babies through to school and they have both been provided with excellent care. The nursery are fantastic at providing the children with opportunities to go on trips out, learn about various topics and have lots of fun! The Preschool and Rising Fours are brilliant at preparing the children with the skills and emotional support needed for when they start school. This includes mini PE lessons, early phonics, fine motor skills and general emotional skills that help children with the transition to school. Thank you for all your support, I would definitely recommend this nursery.

We have been really pleased with Woodlands Nursery. The staff have been fantastic with our little girl who was nervous about being away from us but now loves it there. Everyone is so friendly and kind, and communication about what the children have been up to, as well as general admin things has been really great. We have been impressed with the food choices as well, especially that there are healthy pudding options.

Lovely nursery with dedicated rooms for different age groups. Lots of outdoor space for children to enjoy and they often take them on trips within the local community. My son often enjoys the soft play playzone too. Staff are friendly and approachable and all of them know the children well even if they aren't their keyworker. Lota of activities put on for children with no technology in sight which I think is great for allowing children to work on their social skills. Both my children have attended here.

The nursery has been supportive and accommodating to our changing needs and requirements. The staff are professional, friendly and kind, building strong relationships with both of our children which has really helped with morning drop off. We enjoy receiving updates and the thorough end of day handovers. Knowing what the children have been doing gives us as a family a starting point for conversation and connection.

We moved our baby to this nursery at the start of the year after she didn't settle well at another local nursery, and the difference has been incredible. From day one she absolutely loved it. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children. She especially loves spending lots of time outside, which is her favourite. We've really appreciated how warm and inclusive everyone has been, and we love receiving the regular photo updates. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend this nursery.

Fantastic nursery. It’s big with dedicated rooms and gardens for each age group and had the loveliest staff working there. They put lots of effort into spending time with nature and often visit the care home opposite to plant flowers and veg.
