Review from Emma H (Mother of Child) published on 28 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We sent both of our boys here and we couldn't have asked for a better preschool. From the very beginning, the staff made them feel happy, safe, and valued. They genuinely care about each child and create such a warm, nurturing environment where children can grow in confidence and develop a love of learning.
The activities are always engaging and varied and communication with parents has been excellent throughout. It's been wonderful to see how much both of our boys learned and developed during their time here

We have so many happy memories including the fun sports day! We are incredibly grateful to all the staff for everything they've done. We would highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a caring, supportive, and fun environment for their child.

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It is wonderful to hear that you have such happy memories and that the children have enjoyed the activities we provide. I am so pleased you enjoyed sports day, it is a wonderful day for everyone. Karen

Review from Stephanie P (Mother of Child) published on 28 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All four of my children have attended woldingham village nursery throughout the years, I cannot recommend this nursery enough, my children always loved coming to nursery, made lots of friends and always came home happy and talking about their wonderful day and all the activities they had done.
All of the staff are amazing here, they are all so caring and I never had any worries when leaving my children with them.
Shirley, the manager has really gone above and beyond for all my children, nothing ever seems too much for her, my youngest child has just finished nursery and will be starting primary school in September, I was a bit nervous about him starting nursery as he has food intolerances but Shirley was amazing, she really helped him settle it, put measures in place to keep him safe and she always managed to adapt activities such as cooking so he could be included.

We are really going to miss all the staff at woldingham village nursery, thank you for everything!

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you for your lovely review. It has been an absolute pleasure having all of the children at the nursery and we will all miss having you at the nursery. We wish you all the very best for the future. Karen

Review from Debbie C (Mother of Child) published on 28 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've had a wonderful experience at this nursery, and we couldn't recommend it more!

Shirley has been absolutely brilliant. She is incredibly knowledgeable and caring, really supportive of our tricky little one, and flexible with settling sessions. Communication has been excellent, and we've always been kept up to date with how our son is doing, which has given us real peace of mind.

The nursery provides a nurturing, structured environment that really helps prepare children for school. They have clear expectations and a consistent approach, which creates a positive setting where the children know what's expected of them and can thrive. The outside space is limited but they do a lot with what they have!

We have been so pleased with the care and support our son has received, and we would highly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a caring, well-organised, and supportive environment!

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you for your wonderful review, it is lovely to hear that you have found the nursery to be supportive and flexible. We believe that communication with parents is paramount and I appreciate you highlighting that you feel this has been excellent. Karen

Review from H R (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been extremely pleased with our son's experience at this setting. He initially attended on a half-day basis, but quickly became so settled and happy that he was reluctant to leave at home time, often upset that he couldn't stay for lunch with his friends.

He has settled in very well, made strong relationships, and clearly enjoys his time there. Throughout his placement, he has learnt a great deal and has been consistently well cared for by the staff. We have felt confident in the quality of care and support he has received.

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you for your lovely review. we are very happy that you have been so happy with the quality of care and support your son has received and that he enjoyed his time so much he didn't want to leave. Karen

I cannot recommend Woldingham Nursery enough. If you want a loving, supportive place for your child to flourish and become totally ready for school, this is the place. Shirley and the team have all worked there for years and have nurtured so many children. Our son and daughter absolutely love it.

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you for your lovely review. The team have indeed worked together for many years and are committed to making the nursery a loving, happy, caring environment for the children where they love to learn. It is wonderful to hear that both of your children have loved their time with us. Karen

Review from C R (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son really thrived in this environment and has loved every minute. The team are wonderful have always kept in close communication with me which I have really appreciated. I have also found them very patient and really caring towards my son including messages throughout the day when he's been upset which is extremely helpful and reassuring!
My son has particularly loved the circle times each day and really enjoyed the diverse range of food at snack time .... It was lovely hearing him talk about the noodles they'd tried at the time of the Chinese New Year and the Poppadoms at Diwali.
The recent sports day was a lovely demonstration of how the children all love learning their little songs and rules for the different races.

I really do recommend this lovely preschool setting.

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Overall Experience

Every single member of Woldingham nursery has made both of my children's start to education absolutely incredible. The love and care the children are given is beyond anything we could have hoped for and know that they have been safe and thrived over the past 6 years (combined). We can't thank them enough for the experiences they have given our children and would recommend them to anyone!

Review from Paroma I (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We wanted to leave this review after reading your email, particularly the request for comments about children who found settling difficult.
Our daughter really struggled when she first started. Drop-offs were heartbreaking - she would cling to us and cry every morning, and we would drive away feeling guilty and anxious. The staff never rushed us or made us feel we were being difficult. One key worker took the time each day to sit with her, chat about what they were going to do, and gently build her trust. Their patience never wavered. Slowly she began to let go, and now she walks in happily and tells us about her day when we collect her. Our mornings at home are completely different now - calmer and without the dread.

The staff are so attentive to the children as individuals. Seeing how settled and content our daughter is has lifted a huge weight off our family. The way they supported her through that early stage felt genuinely inclusive, and we are very grateful.

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you so much for leaving such an honest review. A child's introduction to the education system begins at nursery and it is our aim to to support children and families to have a positive start to this journey. It is so lovely for us to know that the support you have received has enabled your little girl to grow in confidence and enjoy coming to nursery. Karen

Review from Claire S (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Woldingham Nursery Class since January 2026, and I honestly can't put into words how much his confidence has grown in such a short space of time.
The staff have been incredible, especially Shirley, who immediately understood and supported my son's SEND needs. She goes above and beyond to get the support we need.

For the first time, my son genuinely enjoys going to 'school!' and seeing him so happy and settled means the world to me and I can't thank the whole team enough for their kindness, dedication and support. I would highly recommend Woldingham Nursery Class to any family.

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so happy that you are so happy with the progress your little boy has made, it is wonderful for the whole team to hear they have made such a difference. Karen

Review from Ivan I (Father of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
What stands out most is the real village feel of the place. It doesn't feel like a formal setting; it feels like an extended family where staff and families know each other and the children are part of a wider group. The fact that children of different ages spend time together is one of the best things about it. I've seen older children naturally include the younger ones in their play, showing them how to build with blocks or take turns in the role-play area. Our daughter has clearly thrived in this environment. Since starting she has become more confident, her imaginative play has developed noticeably, and we've seen her using longer sentences and showing more independence at home.

The staff are consistently present and engaged. The children always seem happy and secure, and there is a calm, positive atmosphere. It is a special little nursery that clearly values every child as part of the community.

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased that you have felt part of our "nursery Family" and your daughter has enjoyed her time with us. We wish you all the very best for the future Karen

Review from S A (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My twins attended this nursery for the past two years and have recently left to start Reception. We couldn't have asked for a better start to their education, and we would highly recommend this nursery to other families. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and genuinely take the time to understand and support each child's individual needs. One of my children has additional needs, and the Manager/ SENCO was exceptional throughout our time there. They were very knowledgeable and supportive, helping us efficiently through the EHCP process, completing reports, and ensuring our son received the care and understanding he needed. The nursery has lovely indoor and outdoor spaces, providing children with plenty of opportunities to learn and explore. Both of our children were happy to attend and looked forward to going each day. They have both made fantastic progress during their time there and we are grateful they had such a positive and nurturing start before moving on to Reception.

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you for taking the time to submit such a lovely review. The team have really enjoyed watching the twins progress throughout their nursery journey and we send you our very best wishes for the future. Karen

Review from J W (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter attended this nursery for 2 years until recently leaving for reception, and we cannot rate it highly enough. The setting is great, with lots of indoor and outdoor space, with plenty of equipment. There's always a variety of organised activities for the children to participate in. For us the most important aspect of a nursery is the people that work there, and there couldn't be a better cohort of staff. They have the perfect balance of kindness, caring and authority. In particular the manager Shirley is simply awesome!

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.

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!
