Bright Horizons Teddies Woking Day Nursery and Preschool

I was very impressed with Teddies Nurseries from the first day of being shown around and continue to be impressed so much so that I am also sending my second child there. The staff are great, friendly and you genuinely feel safe that the kids are well looked after. From management through to the chef there's almost a family feel of everyone doing their best. Looking after children is a tough job and I've great respect for the team especially when there is so much paperwork. It's great that the food is cooked fresh onsite with a wide variety on the menu and that the kids have a good outdoor space to run around.

My main item of feedback is the lack of interesting/exciting activity. There is plenty of painting/colouring/playing, cooking club and science activities like planting flowers but I do feel that with such a large number of activities in easy reach of the nursery that some outings etc could be organised to break the kiddies out of their weekly routine a bit. For example the light box always offer storytimes, messy play, treasure hunts and other children's activities, the library offer chides sessions, the wwf building offer activities and learning sessions for all ages and there is a large green space where sports day type activities or a lunchtime picnic could be organised. I appreciate it is a challenge ratio wise but it's such a shame they miss out on so much so close to the nursery building! I'm sure parents would volunteer to chaperone on outings for a few hours if consulted.
