Most amazing nursery ever. I have sent 2 of my children there and will a million per cent be sending my other 2 there. They are the loveliest people that work there, and they love and look after your children just how you would want anyone to. I would always recommend this nursery.

The staff at Woldingham are amazing. I have a special educational needs child and his time at the nursery is made easier and comfortable for him. They accommodate him, they reward him and he's learnt so much in such a short time.
Thank you, girls!

Review from Casey M (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children have attended Woldingham Nursery Class and have absolutely loved going. The care and attention they get from the staff are just fantastic; all of them know each child so well.
One of the things we love most about this nursery is how much time they spend outside. If the weather is
favourable, they are outside playing on trikes, scooters, in ride-along cars, playing with balls, balancing benches or just general toys.
It is always requested that children are suitably dressed and come with hat/coat/gloves/suncream to ensure they are comfortable, safe and protected outdoors.
Indoors they have a huge variety of activities to do, whether arts and crafts, music, reading etc. It is just fabulous.
Kindness, manners and morals are very much instilled in the children which is just an extension of home for us and highly appreciated.
Children leave here well equipped to start school.
I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff did a wonderful job of helping my son settle in and to ensure all his (and my) needs were met. He loves going! He does a range of activities there and particularly enjoys the outdoor space. The staff take the time to share things he has done during the session, so we get a real sense of his
experience there. I am so delighted that we found this brilliant nursery.

Woldingham Nursery has provided an amazingly nurturing and educational and secure environment for my 4 children over the past 6 years. Staff are caring and professional facilities are fab and the early learning journal is an extremely informative document (and lovely to read!) I would highly recommend
this nursery to anyone!

Review from Lindsay S (Mother of Child) published on 16 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Woldingham pre school is a fantastic nursery that I would highly recommend. The staff are all fantastic in providing outstanding care and a very stimulating environment. The range of activities that are carried are perfectly tailored to support every area of learning. The staff provide a excellent
balance of developing each individual child's learning in preparation for them starting school. This is something that I personally feel is very important. The outside space is one of the best I have come across and the children go out at least once or twice a day.The communication between the parents and teachers is also exceptional. The teachers are always available to speak to if you wish. I will be extremely sad when my son leaves in July but I know he has had the best possible start to his education.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a superb nursery which was recommended to me by a friend, who has herself had four children here.
It's tricky choosing a suitable nursery for your precious little ones and I looked at quite a few before I found Woldingham. Right from the start I knew I had chosen well. The staff are so friendly,
caring and really love the children in there care. They are a credit to there profession. My 3 year old boy attends this nursery now as did my 6 year old girl before him and they have loved every minute. They are kept so busy with fun and exciting activities- they don't have time to miss mum. My little boy was quite shy before he started here and I was amazed at how quickly he settled in. Being here has definitely given him more confidence and he can't wait to get to nursery in the the morning - proudly carrying his little lunch box and an object to coincide with whatever the 'letter of the week' is. He has made good friends and adores all the lovely ladies that look after him so well.

The nursery is without a doubt a pre-school setting that is perfect for my daughter and was perfect for my son. As the first stepping stone into education it provides a balance of outstanding support and warmth from the lovely staff that work there as well as all the activities you would hope for in
order to stimulate their emotional, physical, language, intellectual and social needs. As the transition into school approaches the nursery strikes a perfect balance in developing and encouraging skills your child will build on whist retaining the element of fun in learning.

This is a fabulous nursery school and my child is very happy here. The staff are all wonderful and are very accommodating to individuals needs. I looked at many nursery settings for my son a few years ago and am so glad I chose this nursery. The outdoor space and activities are outstanding as are
the opportunities available to the children indoors - colouring, reading and writing, imagination play and cookery lessons. There are different activities scheduled for everyday and I would highly recommend this nursery for anyone considering sending their child here. I know my son will be sorry to leave this July but am in no doubt that the care and learning he has received at Woldingham Nursery will set him in good stead for Primary School in September.

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.
