Review from Dominique G (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending this nursery for almost two months now and has really settled in well. He's only 10 months old and I was worried he would find it difficult but he is thriving. He has built great relationships with the staff who are always friendly and welcoming. He shows a lot of independence and confidence which has certainly developed from his short time here.
The staff have great interpersonal skills and are always happy to listen to updates etc on my child. They keep you up to date during the sessions via an App so you can have peace of mind that your child is content, has eaten etc.
Communication is a strength and the staff always send a message whenever they need to check something or give you an update. A recent struggle with my child was falling asleep at nursery but he is beginning to improve and staff have sent a photo before of him finally sleeping which is lovely to see.

The staff have great wider knowledge and can answer many queries for you.

My little one has been at new woods for about a month now and she absolutely loves it! The staff are so lovely and attentive, I also love that there's an app available to see what your little one eats and gets up to throughout the day!

Highly recommend!

Review from Lacey R (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We joined New Woods in the summer with our 11-month-old boy and had a great experience settling him in, there was no rush, he was made to feel really welcome, and the staff accommodated for him, I can honestly say dropping him off for those first few weeks wasn't filled with dread, I knew he was going to have lots of fun. We love New Woods, and most importantly he adores going and wakes up excited to be going there.

Reply from Kellyann Maguire, Early Years Manager at New Woods Childcare

Thank you, so lovely to hear that your little one loves coming into nursery. The relationships they have made with the other children are lovely!

Reply from Donna Roberts, Manager at New Woods Childcare
Thank you for your review, I have been made aware of the accident you are referring to, we are making it our priority to ensure all of our older holiday club children are fully aware to let staff member know when they have hurt themselves to ensure correct first aid can be applied.

The Summer holiday staff pass on their thanks for the chocolates.

Review from Ana-Alexandra S (Mother of Child) published on 27 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All the staff are doing a great job taking care of my child. They are keeping me up to date on what he is doing or if something is wrong. I've known them for six years now, they took care of my daughter as well. they did a great job and they are still doing it. Hope they will remain the same and do their job in the future as well so they will teach the children what will come in the future. Thank you to the best team of teaching.

Review from Amanda B (Guardian of Child) published on 27 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Excellent service, sometimes stood waiting quite a long time for collection to go in.

One thing I do not agree with, if our children do not attend on bank holidays, we haven't previously paid. Due to the Queen's funeral, we are expected to! This means for some parents/carers they will actually have to pay twice for childcare! This is wrong especially given the current economic crisis!

Reply from Donna Roberts, Manager at New Woods Childcare
Thank you for your review, as it is our policy all bank holidays are required to be paid for however as you are term time only this has not affected you previously. These additional bank holiday hours have been rearranged with you so hopefully, this has supported you with childcare.

Best wishes, Donna.

Overall Experience

I have a two-year-old boy on the autism spectrum, the staff are brilliant with him. Also, his twin sister goes to the same nursery. It took them time to settle in but now with the nursery staff's patience, they both will walk in happy. Even my son goes straight to them when he sees the staff

Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased both of your children have settled and are doing great.

Review from A T (Mother of Child) published on 20 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Three out of our four boys have attend here and the staff are absolutely fantastic! We still have two currently attending here and they always come back so happy, the staff have been so accommodating to their needs and the eldest one who no longer goes here keeps asking if he can go back. The facilities are to a high standard and with plenty of space for children to play along with doing a mixture of actives. I will always recommend this nursery.

Never had any problem with the staff at new woods. Always been helpful when I've had a concern. My daughter attended from her 2-year funding up until going onto reception and has recently returned for after school club. Staff have always communicated with me about her stay. Couldn't get better staff.

Overall Experience

I've used this nursery for both my children and have recommended to all my friends. Staff are caring, the building is clean and the activities are lovely. Both my children settled well when they started as good transition procedures are in place. Communication is excellent and they make good use of the App, sending messages and photos throughout the day. The nursery offers very good value for money with flexible hours and also tern time only - which is great for me as I work as a teacher. Both my children are thriving due to the great early care the received here.

Reply from Donna Roberts, Manager at New Woods Childcare
