Very good standard and excellent staff. My two daughters have been or are currently attending the nursery, from 6 months up until school time. I would recommend for the development of the child. 100% happy.

Review from Jade T (Mother of Child) published on 2 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After joining Woodville nursery in the midst of the pandemic, I was apprehensive and worried about how my daughter would settle in, after not having much interaction with others. The staff at the nursery, especially the managers and the baby room staff, have been incredibly supportive. They have provided excellent communication throughout, whether that be specific to my daughter or the wider goings-on of the nursery. My daughter took a few weeks to settle in but now can't wait to go in the morning and is very content when I pick her up in the evening. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

The best nursery. The staff are all friendly and approachable. Nothing is too much trouble. My little one loves going to nursery and learns so much. So many different activities. Indoor and outdoor space is great and secure. They have also been so understanding throughout this pandemic. Always recommend this nursery to everyone.

Overall Experience

My son started here in October 2020, he’s 4 already so moving his nurseries was a difficult decision to make but by far the best one I’ve ever made. He’s come along so well academically in the last 2 months, I could not be more thankful to the staff that care for him. He’s lactose intolerant and a very picky eater and they are so understanding and nothing is too much trouble. Best nursery in the area (we did our research) and I completely stand by that. Thank you again, everyone, at Woodville day nursery, especially the nursery managers.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Woodville Nursery in September and adores it! She is always so excited to go to nursery and on the weekends is asking when it's time to go back! The staff are fantastic and especially at a time when things are very different they have been amazing at supporting my daughter despite the challenges and changes they have faced. They do fantastic activities with the children from baking to singing and dancing which my daughter loves! Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking into it!

Overall Experience

I visited 4 nurseries before choosing Woodville Day Nursery. The manager conducted the visit that was after hours (COVID) I was impressed that from the beginning the children and staff were being kept as safe as possible. Our son has taken to nursery life and from the daily updates/photos, we receive it is clear he is having fun and learning all the time. In these uncertain times have a team that are focused on your child’s welfare means the world. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My child has attended since she was 6 months old and is now in preschool. She loves going and has settled in well in every room. The staff are brilliant and friendly. I receive regular updates about what my child has done each day. The staff were also fantastic during lockdown and were very accommodating. I am really pleased with the progress my child has made and the staff have provided stimulating activities that I would be unable to do at home. Would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience

I am so happy I chose Woodville Day Nursery when I moved to the area. I knew immediately upon visiting that I would be choosing to send my children here. There are many activities inside and out that the children can participate in and everybody are very friendly and understanding. A home from home atmosphere has really helped my daughter settle in and their sensitive handling of the coronavirus pandemic has been incredible. Thank you Woodville Day Nursery.

Review from Hannah B (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended the nursery since he was 9-months-old: he is now preparing to start school in a couple of weeks. The nursery is fantastic - everyone from the admin staff to the carers, to the cleaners and the cooks, have made my son feel comfortable and even special through the time and care they take over him. He has loved it here and has grown socially, emotionally and academically: he is a bright and confident young man, in no small part due to the staff here. Their handling of coronavirus was professional, thorough and sensitive: they kept in touch with us when we were at home and welcomed us back once it was safe to do so. They have been a large part of both our lives, and we will both miss them.

Overall Experience

My son started Woodville at 10-months-old, and he is now ready to leave for his new adventure of starting school. I can’t thank all the staff enough for being a part of his puzzle and helping bring home from home environment. The girls at Woodville haven’t just been staff; they have become part of our family. The nursery is a huge step in any parents life, that first day trusting another person to care for your baby, but these girls go above and beyond, and I’m excited to know they will be apart of our lives for another 3-years when our daughter starts. Thank you for being amazing, thank you for everything you do day in day out, and thank you for making the last 4-years unforgettable.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending the nursery for around 9 months and he loves every session. As he only attends weekly, I was concerned about how he would settle but the staff were fantastic and now he just strolls in - even after the recent extended break! We are kept updated on his progress and achievements and he always comes home in the very best of moods!

I was very nervous about sending my son to nursery at such a young age, he was 9 months old and settled in lovely! The staff are amazing and so helpful and caring. He’s nearly 3 and if anyone asks me I highly recommend this nursery. My son loves the staff and children and has learnt extremely well here.

Communication is brilliant and the app they use is a great way to see how what he’s doing throughout the day.

Would definitely recommend.

Review from Maria (Mother of Child) published on 22 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter currently attends Woodville Day Nursery and has been there since 2018, when she started at 10 months old. I have complete and utter trust in the managers, who are absolutely wonderful, putting every child’s individual needs at the heart of everything they do. The staff are highly trained and passionate about working with young children. My daughter loves going to nursery and enjoys such a wide range of activities that are tailored to her current interests. I know she is in such safe hands and the regular updates throughout the day that are logged on the nursery app means I can see through photos, videos and observations that she is happy. I am kept thoroughly up to date with her development, and all staff are knowledgeable so can readily advise me should I have any questions. I would not consider sending my daughter anywhere else!

Review from Emma A (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Woodville Day Nursery since January 2019. She absolutely loves going into nursery every day. She enjoys all of the daily activities, from singing and sensory play to arts and crafts, walks to the park and role-play – the things she gets up to in a day is fantastic. She also enjoys a huge variety of healthy, home-cooked food and is taught good table manners. After a year of attending the nursery, she is thriving, happy and full of self-confidence and enjoys nothing more than seeing her friends every day. Her progression, learning and development is a huge testament to her keyworker and all of the amazing staff who are caring, kind and supportive, nothing is too much trouble. Communication about her learning and development, and about her day, in general, is delivered daily via the portal, as well as face-to-face updates in an evening when I collect her. My mind is always at ease when she’s there, and I am so grateful for everything they do for her.

Overall Experience
My son was very reluctant to start a new school, he had always been upset about leaving other places, but has embraced the pre-school session. The support and loving nature, shown by all staff, has been excellent. He now leaves me in a confident, positive manner eager to start the day.

He enjoys the variety of activities, especially the outdoor adventures.

Review from Lihini E (Mother of Child) published on 17 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at the age of 9 months, but she was actually born preterm so she was 7 months corrected. Starting her at Woodville Day Nursery was one of the best decisions I have ever made. She is happy and thriving well. The staff at Woodville Day Nursery are like a family to me. I owe them so much and I am so grateful for all the love and care they give my daughter.

She has such a good time during the week, at times she gets bored with me on weekends.

Overall Experience

I was really anxious about sending my little boy to a nursery but my mind was put at ease during the settling in sessions and how well my little boy settled in, considering he had never had me leave him anywhere before. He has built up a lovely relationship with his keyworker and his development and progression since he's been at nursery is brilliant.
