Review from C G (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is a great nursery, my son started in Feb 2026 within the first week the staff flagged up that my son has some additional needs and got the support needed very quickly and guided and continue to support us with getting the required help for my son. The nursery itself has a lovely feel to it, the outside area is very nice and my son enjoys it there.

I get photos sent on the app to see what my son has been doing each week which is lovely. Staff are very professional and knowledgeable, would highly recommend the nursery.

Were really pleased to hear that your son has settled well with us and that youve felt supported throughout the process of identifying and responding to his additional needs. Working closely with families to ensure children get the right support early on is something we place great importance on,...

We are incredibly happy with our experience at Woodlands pre-school ! Our son settled very easily and quickly with the amazing environment and level of care he received by the patient and warm staff. Communication is definitely a plus as we get daily updates on what our son has been up to with weekly photos. The staff is always happy to chat and share updates. The daily activities are engaging and outdoor based with the forest-school inspired setting. We highly recommend Woodlands pre-school to any families looking for exceptional early years childcare!

Amazing experience, my daughter was placed here for nearly 2 years, and she loved every second, could not ask for a better team of staff, amazing. Highly recommended for anyone who needs trust in staff, and highly recommended for anyone who has worries about how their child would settle. My daughter thrived, and I cannot thank you enough for letting my daughter have the experience and getting to know everyone.

Such a lovely family feel pre school, everyone is so kind and thoughtful. Keeping us up to date all the time. I have an older child who loved his experience in Woodlands, and my other child is currently - she always comes out happy and full of exciting stories to tell us of her day. Would highly recommend.

Review from Sophia L (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy has been at the nursery for the last 2 years and he has loved every minute of it and he's felt safe and secure with every single member of staff. He's made loads of friends and that due to the staff encouragement for the children to play together.
The outdoor equipment and area has so much for them to do from finding and naming insects to riding balance bikes and practicing there balancing.
The inside is colourful and the children's work is always on display so they can get excited about seeing work they worked hard on making.
Then at the end of the 2 years just before moving to
reception the nursery put on an amazing graduation ceremony to celebrate there achievement.
Myself and my little boy will miss the nursery as he goes off to mainstream reception now but once my 3 month old turn 2 I will definitely be looking to get her a space there so she can love it just as much as her brother has loved being there.

I highly recommend this nursery.

Reply from Nikki Laventure, Manager at Woodlands Pre-school (Warners End) Ltd

Thank you so much for this lovely review. I can't believe how quickly the last 2 years have flown by!! We will your son so much but wish him all the very best for a bright and wonderful future.

Review from Tom M (Father of Child) published on 22 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Woodlands Pre-School. From the moment we first visited, we were struck by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the dedication of the staff. The team genuinely cares about each child, taking the time to understand their individual needs, interests, and personalities.
The activities are thoughtful and creative, and we love hearing about what they've been up to each day - from nature walks and messy play to storytime and early literacy skills.
What really sets Woodlands apart is its nurturing environment. It feels like a second home where children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and form meaningful friendships. Communication with parents is excellent, and we've always felt informed and involved in our child's education.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Woodlands Pre-School and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a supportive, stimulating, and caring place for their little one to grow.

Reply from Nikki Laventure, Manager at Woodlands Pre-school (Warners End) Ltd

Thank you so much for this lovely review. We have loved having your child at Woodlands Preschool and we will miss her very much. We wish her the very best in her next big adventure starting school reception.

Overall Experience

"An Amazing Preschool!"

We've been part of this preschool family for 2.5 years and as our eldest moves on to big school, we are truly sad to be preparing to say goodbye. The staff go above and beyond, providing our girls with love, care, and resources to help them thrive. Our youngest started this year, and the transition has been incredibly smooth thanks to the nurturing team. Our girls have made such close bonds with staff and because of this, they are confident ti be themselves.

The staff are friendly, approachable, and dedicated. The activities and resources are fantastic, and the outdoor garden is an incredible space for learning and play. A special mention to the amazing SENCO team, who are absolutely outstanding and support has been invaluable.

We are so grateful for everything this preschool has given our children. It's a truly wonderful place, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a caring, enriching environment

Reply from Nikki Laventure, Manager at Woodlands Pre-school (Warners End) Ltd

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We love having both your girls here with us and we will miss your eldest daughter when she goes to school in September xx

Overall Experience
My little girl has absolutely thrived since going to Woodlands. She loves going. The staff are so lovely, kind, caring and patient. There are so many activities and they really give personal care to the children to help them learn, as well as having so much fun. Our favourite perk was the outdoor area, as she loves it in the garden.
Great communication from management and really sad to see my little one leave for school.

Can't rave about how great it is here enough. 5/5.

This is my daughters second nursery as she was unhappy and unsettled in her previous one. She is thriving and was very settled straight away. All staff are amazing, they’re always very welcoming, kind and always have a smile on their face. They truly go above and beyond for each child. Overall a very good nursery to send your children to.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Woodlands now for 18 months and in this short time he has come a very long way. The preschool work with the parents to ensure each child's individual needs are met. Woodlands has such a lovely atmosphere and work very well as a team, my son really enjoys going to preschool and often comes out singing new songs he has learnt and about what he has done that day. Woodlands is a preschool that I would recommend to anyone.

My little boy started in July last year, he was at a childminder beforehand and cried every day going in. Since joining here, I haven’t had a single tear going in. Staff are always happy to help and always have time for parents. Also, having been doing parent evenings in different settings for 19 years, I felt their parent's evening was the best I’ve been to.

Thank you for your review. We work very hard to ensure we have a great parent partnership and I'm glad that you have benefited from this. We love having your son here at Woodlands Preschool.
