Woodcroft Nursery School

This nursery is just beautiful!! The teachers are so amazing, helpful and understanding. They listen and try to help where they can. The garden is just incredible and my son said its his favourite place. When starting, my son barely spoke, now we are at the end, he doesn't stop talking. The progress within him is all down to woodcroft nursery and their teachers!! The office staff and head teacher are so friendly and bubbly, they make you instantly at ease when dropping my son off. I just love woodcroft and so sad for my son to be leaving but also thankful as my youngest will going!! Thank you woodcroft nursery!!

Absolutely would recommend this nursery to any parent! The staff are amazing, very kind and really supportive in anyway possible! My son has loved every moment he spent being here and has learnt so much from it! The nursery is very clean and a safe environment. My son only has this week left before he goes on to his new journey at primary school! A massive shout out and a huge thank you to all the staff at Woodcroft! You have all been so wonderful and so caring to myself and my son! We will miss you all at Woodcroft so much! :) xx

My little one was there for a short while but it's the happiest she's been, attending a nursery. The teachers are wonderful and the management team as well. They make you feel welcome every single day and the children are occupied with activities both inside and outside.

My son has been attending Woodcroft Nursery since late last year (2022), he has complex needs and this nursery has been absolutely amazing, the nursery is like a big family, very supportive of families and the children's education of all levels of development, I can't fault the nursery at all, my son has come on leaps and bounds since being with them all I can say is I highly recommend this nursery to anyone with little ones. I thank this nursery every day for the support with my son to give him the best start in life in an educational environment.

The staff at Woodcroft Nursery School are wonderfully helpful and supportive and my child loves the range of activities available to him. We're kept well informed of our child's progress and what the nursery are doing to help him develop. We really do love this nursery.

My son has been attending Woodcroft Nursery since Sept 2021 and we cannot recommend this setting enough. The staff are very attentive and caring. There is a broad range of activities daily and great outdoor and indoor space. The children get to experience a termly activity such as a children's entertainer, ducklings in the spring and last summer we had a mobile farm come to visit. We have also had visits from the local fire brigade and the children have experienced using the hose and exploring the fire engine.

I highly recommend this nursery. It's really a gem and I'm so glad we found it.

I was highly recommended the parent and toddler group at Woodcroft Nursery school. Lovely resources set out in creative ways and friendly staff who I was able to chat about childcare with. I have taught in early years education myself for just over 10 years and had visited a few different settings but I really enjoyed the open day that Woodcroft held and I Just knew that it was the right setting for my child.

Amazing outdoor space that the children use in all weathers. My child especially enjoys the forest school sessions and the fact that there are chickens and now a rabbit who they help to look after. Photos are shared with parents on an online learning journey system which is lovely, so I was able to see my child taking part in lots of activities including toasting eggy bread on the fire outside during a forest school session. I cannot recommend this Nursery highly enough, my child is making so much progress and most of all he is happy here. Thank you, Woodcroft.

I chose this nursery as it is local to me and also because it provides a beautiful and spacious outside space with a variety of activities. My daughter loves been outside and exploring. I particularly like that they give some freedom to the children like you would at home so they are free to spend more time outside if they wish or do more activities indoors. They only provide snacks and you have to provide lunch, which for some may be a downfall. My daughter is getting quite fussy, but I know if she was given a meal at nursery she would probably eat it more willingly if everyone else was. Overall a lovely little nursery.

I have had all four of my children attend Woodcroft over the last nine years and it has always been the most exemplary preschool. From the Toddler group right through the nursery, I’ve always felt the staff really care about my children as individuals, and offer so much help and support for my child and for me. The outdoor space is brilliant and the free play session time is great for letting the children explore and choose activities. The nursery is well-equipped for varied play and learning. My youngest is still there at four after deferring his primary school entry for a year, and he has been given individual attention to prepare him for school in September. Any problems we’ve had have always been dealt with fairly and quickly, but there really haven’t been many! I can’t recommend Woodcroft highly enough, it really has suited my children very well and prepared them for primary education.

My eldest daughter has attended Woodcroft Nursery School since September 2016 and I have nothing but praise for the staff. They have an experienced team who work hard to ensure each child’s individual needs are best met by working closely with parents/carers. The setting is fairly unique in that it is actually true to the EYFS ethos. Children have free access to the large outdoor areas and are encouraged by staff to extend their interests by choosing the resources that appeal to them. The staff are very approachable and the children are very well cared for. I honestly recommend it to all local families, it is fab.

Amazing nursery! Staff are so lovely and welcoming! I will be sending my other children here too! They are always so keen to help and have definitely helped my son with so many things and are very understanding. Highly recommend.

Fantastic nursery with great staff. The place where every child is treated as an individual. Superb outside area, the children have an opportunity to learn through play in a professional and loving setting. All concerns are always addressed and solved. I could not recommend it enough.

I love this nursery! My son attended Woodcroft from 2012-2014 and when my daughter was born in 2014 we started in the baby group. She will leave this summer and I will be sad. Woodcroft offers the children a wide range of experiences and activities, and both my children have loved going there.

I have been thoroughly impressed with Woodcroft. The setup and structure is so child-friendly. My child has grown and grown since she has been there. The staff genuinely care and are interested in seeing your child thrive. I couldn't rate the place more highly.

My daughter enjoys her time at Pre-school and the care and support the staff show at all times is great. Such a fantastic environment for her to play and learn in.

The social occasions and fayres, fundraisers etc. are really well done, and the staff are so involved and caring.

Woodcroft Nursery school is a fantastic safe nursery school. I love the facilities and outdoor space it offers. My daughter loves the Forest school activities, as well as the never-ending play opportunities. I previously sent my son here, who has medical needs, and found the staff and Senco team kind, understand and reassuring. Excellent place to send your children.

We have used breakfast, lunch and after-school clubs at various points, without which childcare would have been impossible. On top of all of this, as a maintained nursery school, they do actually offer the government’s 30 hours free childcare (unlike most other providers it seems). I can’t recommend highly enough.

Great early years setting, particularly for children with complex needs. The kids have space and freedom to explore inside and out, and there is a sensory room for those quieter moments. Amazing, experienced, professional key workers and SENCO. Great relationship with the children's centre. My boys love it there!
