Woodley Gardens Day Nursery Reviews (10)
Over all time Woodley Gardens Day Nursery has 10 reviews.
It is a small nursery giving it a lovely family/community feel. They offer a variety of fun activities and my son tells me the food is amazing!
Woodley Gardens Day Nursery is a super friendly, welcoming and caring environment for my child. I feel so comfortable dropping them and picking them up from our nursery. Knowing they are in a safe place, being cared for, educated and disciplined. The food reviews from my child are superb! The staff are very approachable, honest and give great feedback of my child’s day.
My son has attended the nursery since he was 10 months old and he is now 4! The nursery staff are lovely. The nursery carries out classes during the week which my son loves. He has made some great friends, looks forward to coming to nursery and has had a lovely experience here. I would recommend the nursery and we will be sad to be leaving in September. Thank you all at Woodley Gardens Day Nursery for all your care and support throughout the years!
Friendly and fantastic staff and well managed Nursery. I have full confidence in the care provided to my son. Great daily feedback given. Lots of fun and educational activities on offer. Great indoor and outdoor space. I highly recommend Woodley Gardens Day Nursery.
The different activities they do makes sure she is learning and engaged in different experiences.
My daughter was 11 months old when she started at Woodley Gardens Day Nursery and left just a day before she started her school. The 4 years that she's been at this nursery she's had the best time of her life. They have helped her in shaping her confidence, manners, and overall personality. The staff is super accommodating and superbly amazing. I can't thank them enough for all the hard work they put in for my daughter and all other kids.
The nursery is fantastic! The staff are extremely polite and always helpful in giving parents information. My son loves going to nursery and has made lovely friends with the children and key workers. The menu is also great.
A very relaxed and fun place for my little boy to socialise and learn new things. The staff are brilliant at dealing with the challenges of separation and have lots of wonderful activities and ideas to keep the kids engaged.
My son joined Woodley Gardens Nursery in March 2017. He is a child with special needs. The nursery have done the very best they can to keep him happy. He loves his nursery now. They have always shown interest in knowing more about my son's needs and communicate with his therapists to give him the best. I can't thank the nursery enough for all the support and care they are providing for my son. Especially thanks a lot the manager. I hope the support and care continues.
My son has been going to the Woodley Gardens day nursery since he was 14 weeks old. He's loved it from his first session. The staff treat him as an individual and adapt to his needs and preferences. They have always taken a real interest in finding the things he likes and appear to ensure his development is priority.
He is always so happy when I drop him off and has a great bond with his regular carers.
Recently he has started messy play with the older children which he loves! The nursery send me photos of him experiencing new types of play and he always looks so happy. I truly feel my son's development has excelled since he started nursery and I'm so thankful for their role in my son's care.
