I receive an excellent service from the nursery. The staff are always happy to help with any queries or concerns. My child is always happy to go to nursery. It's a weight off my mind knowing his needs are going to be well catered for and he's going to enjoy himself interacting with the staff and other children.

My two children had an amazing time there. All members of staff looked after them and helped them grow. They also have knowledge on children development and understand children's developmental journey. They also supported is during difficult times when I was ill. They didn't support my children only, they supported the entire family! Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that your children had a positive experience with us. Our team is dedicated to supporting each child's development and providing a nurturing environment for all families.
The staff have always been amazing, you can tell they really care for the children, the food choices are always great and he always has such fun when he is there. I will say that since the new manager has taken over as nursery manager it has got even better and any issues with the previous management, such as communication have gone.
I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone looking to send their child.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so glad to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our team and that your son has enjoyed his time with us. It's wonderful to know that the changes we've made, especially around communication, have made a difference.
Staff are absolutely lovely. My 15 month old little boy has made friends, sleeps better after being at nursery, is well fed and his social skills have come on leaps and bounds since attending Oct 2024 until present. He rarely shows any reluctance to attend since day one and smiles when I tell him it's nursery day. My partner also had a stroke recently and everyone was fantastic and supportive. Highly recommend!

We have had such a wonderful experience with this nursery! The staff are incredibly caring and nurturing, making my little boy feel safe and comfortable every step of the way. They handled his transition between rooms with so much care, ensuring it was at his own pace and that he was fully ready. It's clear that they truly prioritise the well-being and happiness of the children. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough, it's a fantastic, supportive environment!

The communication is WONDERFUL and what every child's parent wants when putting their trust into these practitioners to give my son and all the other children the highest level of care. I cannot fault the pre school team and new management whatsoever, we love them!
"Thank you so much for your glowing feedback! We are thrilled to hear that the changes in management have made such a positive impact. We're especially happy to hear that the communication has been wonderful and that you feel confident in the care we provide.
I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. Both my children have attended here, my daughter from 2020-2023 and my son currently attends. My eldest has a disability and they went out of their way to help her feel included in all the activities in a safe way. Ensuring there was somebody with her when in the play area or to encourage her speech and physio. Even now, when she joins me for pick-up, she is welcomed with open arms and a cuddle. My son loves his time here and is eager to join in which makes the drop-off process more enjoyable and stress-free. He eats a full variety of different foods. The little friendships he has made are sweet to witness and the staff are so interactive with him. Reading stories and many fun activities with sand or water. The setting is clean and hygienic and the staff are friendly and easy to speak to. There are always many staff in sight. Overall, I feel we have chosen the best nursery for our children and are very grateful for everything they do.

It's wonderful to know that our team has been able to support your daughter's needs and ensure she feels included, while also providing a welcoming environment for...
I strongly advise against sending your children to this nursery. Their food and hygiene standards are extremely poor, and the facility has been closed multiple times due to safety violations, which can be verified on the Ofsted website.
We are truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at Woodberry Nursery. The safety and well-being of every child in our care is something we take very seriously, and your feedback is extremely important to us. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further and investigate...

We're so proud of her growth and are honoured to have been a part of her journey. Best of luck to her as she starts school!
The team at Woodberry are truly amazing! My two daughters have both blossomed so well here and have made such lovely bonds with their key workers and other staff in the rooms. The staff are so helpful and attentive to the children. They are always happy to discuss your child’s development and are all so friendly and approachable. Both my daughters have come on leaps and bounds with their development since attending nursery, especially their speech. The girls in Caterpillars do a brilliant job teaching the babies Makaton signs to aid their communication from a young age. The staff in pre-school are brilliant and are always doing fun and educational activities with the children. My 3-year-old is doing so well at writing the letters of her name. Woodberry Sholing is a fantastic nursery with lovely staff, I would highly recommend!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that your little one is having a lovely experience at our nursery and appreciate your kind words about the team.
We have been really happy with the care and support given to our daughter. She had a tough time when she first started, but developed a good relationship with a key worker who helped her settle. Staff are always happy to chat through how her day has been and feedback on development. We are now more than comfortable to leave her at nursery knowing she is well cared for.

I believe her attending this nursery has helped her flourish into the happiest little girl.

She has learnt so much here already, I would recommending sending any baby/child here.

The Early Years practitioners in the toddler room(2 year old) are friendly, fun and are approachable. My child loves them!
My eldest was in Woodberry back in 2019, until 2022 and thrived in the preschool room, they were amazing with her. Now my youngest is halfway through her journey. Many of the staff are still present from my eldest time at Woodberry. As a parent of 2, I wholly recommend Woodberry Sholing for all ages.

Overall the nursery is brilliant with communication with my daughter and is always there to support her with anything needed for my daughter.
