Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment we walked in, I knew this was the perfect place for my son. The team are incredibly warm, nurturing and attentive, making us feel confident our little one would receive the same level of care as home. The small room sizes and individual attention have allowed my child to flourish in
ways I never imagined. I truly feel the team go above and beyond to create a safe and loving environment for all children in their care. I highly recommend Woodland to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

My only regret is that we didn't come here sooner! The staff are so attentive. Their activities are inventive, varied and engaging and my daughter now finds learning fun and exciting. She is always eager to return and has made friends easily. The settings have been very helpful in ensuring the leavers
are school-ready when my daughter starts big school in September. We will all miss Woodlands dearly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you Woodlands!

Review from Victoria M (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started in January and we both struggled with separation anxiety, but she has settled in amazingly. She runs in all by herself and doesn't even look back most days. I can hear her singing and laughing with her new friends through the door and she comes running out with a huge smile on her
face. She looks forward to going to nursery and always comes home with a new song and asks "where's nursery gone?" when we've left. We couldn't be happier with how she's developing socially and building confidence every day. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the most wonderful nursery, and I cannot fault it; we are so grateful. When my daughter started, she was shy around other adults and children, and since starting at Woodland, her confidence has been transformed along with her social and communication skills. The nursery is incredible value for
money and has amazing, kind staff who were so welcoming and accommodating when she joined six months ago. The cooked lunches provided sound amazing. We also really love the parties that the nursery put together, such as Easter, which parents are invited to attend. Highly recommend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I’m extremely impressed with this nursery. Truly can’t fault it. They’ve been absolutely amazing with my granddaughter who really struggled initially with separation anxiety. The wise care they took to help her adjust was just wonderful - and it worked! 6 months on she absolutely loves it! It’s a very
creative nursery too and she’s blossoming in so many ways. Highly recommend it. 5 gold stars from me!

Review from Emily F (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl joined the nursery six months ago. She was extremely anxious, to begin with! Being a ‘pandemic baby’, she had never been away from me, and she was borderline terrified of new people. We were so worried about putting her into the nursery, but due to work commitments had no choice.
Woodland
was amazing at helping my little girl settle in; they have given her so much time, attention and love, and she has flourished there.
Six months on, my daughter is a different child, and we are so grateful to the nursery. She is confident, happy, and really comes out of her shell. She has lots of friends and adores all the ladies at Woodland! She has even named her dollies after some of the team!
I love how she does something different every day; some of her favourites are garden play, yoga, painting, dancing/singing and imaginative play. She always comes home so happy. We are super impressed with this nursery and will definitely send our baby boy there too, in a couple of years!

Both of my children are attending the setting and have been so happy. The staff are amazing, friendly, helpful and extremely caring with the children. The admin is also great and efficient. We couldn't ask for a better nursery. A massive thank you to all the staff at Woodland Day Nursery, you have truly
given my sons the best possible start and my peace of mind that they are safe and loved.

Review from Shanine M (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is hands down one of the best nurseries I viewed for my daughter. She has been attending for nearly two years and has made such a huge improvement in her language and social skills. The staff are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond for the children and parents at this setting, always keeping
us up to date with their daily activities via photos and online observations. It's great to see my child learning and progressing through play.
My daughter loves going in each day and always returns home a happy child with so many interesting stories about her fun-filled day.
The nursery provides the children with exciting days out to the park, beach or local shop to purchase ingredients for baking. They offer specialised classes such as music and mindful yoga. I recommend this nursery to anyone who likes a homely and nurturing setting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been going to Woodland Day Nursery since October 2021.
In the 8 months she has been going she has developed so much. With the support of her key worker, fully supportive staff and an engaging and exciting activity programme she loves going to nursery and is exposed to new experiences
- it really is a fantastic nursery. We feel very happy and confident dropping her off each day knowing she is having fun but also growing in confidence and learning new skills in a nurturing environment.

I highly recommend Woodland Day Nursery. My child settled in really quickly and loves going here each day. Her language and self-care skills have really developed since starting here too. The staff are always really friendly and helpful to my daughter and me. The activities that they provide such as
trips out, theme days and free family sessions are way above what I have seen at other nurseries. They are also great at communicating how your child is getting on which was really important to me.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.988)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.988) out of 10 for Woodland Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.988 for Woodland Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (247 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.988
  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 Woodland Day Nursery is based on 21 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 23 number of registered child places is 4.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
