Review from Ivan I (Father of Child) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional nursery, which has surpassed our expectations. The staff are caring and attentive, showing genuine dedication to each child's well-being and development. Their individualised approach ensures every child's unique needs are met with expertise and warmth. The
small, dedicated setting fosters a friendly, family-like atmosphere, creating a nurturing and engaging environment. Our daughter thrives here, so enthusiastic about her time at the nursery that she's reluctant to leave each day. This speaks volumes about the quality of care and the supportive, stimulating atmosphere provided. For parents seeking a nursery that blends professionalism with heartfelt childcare, this is an outstanding choice, offering excellent value for your child's early years.

All three of my children have attended Woldingham Village nursery and I cannot speak highly enough of the setting. The staff are amazing and are brilliant are at developing the children and getting them ready for school. The children are always happy and the nursery has a lovely village feel. My youngest
has just left and will soon start reception and I will miss the staff and the nursery very much!

Would highly recommend the nursery they are super flexible and accommodating for so many reasons. Our children love it here and it feels like a little family.
All of the staff are very friendly and know the children's characters inside out. They have great feedback each day and per terms hand over

The manager is great and our children adore her.

I can not thank the manager and her lovely team enough! My little boy first started 2 years ago, he took a while to settle but with all the ladies with their caring nature really helped him settle. He now has to leave to go to ' big school' and we are gutted! My little boy
has SEND needs and the manager
was able to do all the relevant referrals to get him extra support and this has massively improved his development in all areas! The team at Woldingham nursery are true angels and would highly recommend to any parent to send their children to them.

We absolutely adore Woldingham Nursery Class. Our daughter has flourished there and we are enjoying watching her grow into a bright, independent and confident child that will be ready for school. The nursery manager is outstanding and we have open and frequent communication with all of the teachers.
Thank you all so much.

A truly exceptional nursery. The manager and her team are amazing caregivers, who couldn't do more for the children in their care. They are always coming up with imaginative ways to keep the children entertained and help them grow and develop into lovely individuals. My daughter asks to go every day
and always comes up with a massive smile on her face, excited to tell me all she's done in the day. We are both thrilled we found such an amazing nursery and I couldn't recommend it more!

I would highly recommend the nursery to everyone. My twin boys love it and enjoy every day there. Especially the teachers. I wish I had sent my daughter there but didn't know about it. Definitely 10 out of 10 for us. Plus Karen who runs the whole business is absolutely fantastic. Definitely recommend
it highly. Wish my boys could stay there forever.

The twins started at the nursery in April 2024 and they are so settled they love it.
The staff are so welcoming and friendly, and definitely reassure you at all times.
My daughter loves going to nursery and has really flourished in character.
My son also loves going to nursery and just walks straight
in without waving goodbye now. His speech has definitely improved too.
The ladies are very proactive if there's an issue that needs resolving.
The manager and her team have reassured me that the twins are happy, safe and learning.
We are so pleased we picked Woldingham Nursery for the twins.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Woldingham Nursery has looked after both of my children for a total of 4 years and I cannot give them higher praise. They ticked all the boxes for the things we looked for with a nursery, but most importantly, the teachers are the kindest, most loving souls you could ever imagine and my son and daughter
genuinely adore the bones of them. I have never had to worry for a second that they were not surrounded by kindness. We will be leaving at the end of this year and both of mine will be at junior school, I cannot explain how much I will miss seeing their wonderful faces every single morning at drop-off.

My daughter attended full-time, Monday to Friday and loved it there. She was behind in a few areas and the nursery managed to help her develop and grow in all areas. There was a lot of support and care from the staff towards my daughter which is what you hope for in a nursery. Had a great relationship
with my daughter's key worker and I feel the time spent there has prepared her for school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My middle child attended Woldingham Nursery Class for two years, leaving last year and I’ve just had a settling-in session for my youngest to start in September.
The women who run and work at the nursery are wonderful, truly nurturing and caring and you can tell they all love what they do.
The nursery
itself is lovely, bright and airy, with children given free movement between activities, which are regularly changed throughout the day.
I love that the children aren’t segregated by age, the older ones take great pride and joy in playing with the younger children and helping them play, build or learn something new.
The updates that are given to parents about their child’s progress are incredibly informative and reassuring, showing their work and notes made of the wonderful little remarks your child makes while at nursery.
My middle child enjoyed the nursery so much, that it was never in any doubt that my youngest would attend and love it too.

This nursery is such a happy and exciting environment for children to be in. They supply a variety of toys and activities which keep the children busy and engaged. My son has thrived so much in the last year since starting. His speech and social skills have come on leaps and bounds after being with
other children and really encouraged along by his teachers. The staff are fantastic and we highly rate the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Woldingham Nursery Class is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.910 for Woldingham Nursery Class is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.91
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woldingham Nursery Class is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
