My little boy absolutely adore this nursery. He is absolutely thriving, his confidence has increased and his speech too. He often surprises us with stuff he knows that we certainly didn't teach him so we just know it has come from the nursery. They support his interests which we love and on the odd
occasion he is upset going into nursery the staff are always willing to offer a cuddle which comforts us as we know he is being well looked after and nurtured.

My son started in April this year (in the pre school room). The staff we were very welcoming and I really felt like they wanted to get to know our son and his needs/interests. The nursery appears well resourced and our son has eaten a variety of meals. He always comes home happy and that is all you
can ask for. There are occasionally some photos of our son on the app, of things he gets up to in his day and I always really enjoy looking at these - if there could be more photos it would be perfect.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Woodberry Day Nursery in Waterlooville was the first nursery we visited as quite nervous first time parents thinking ahead of our girl starting her nursery journey, the moment I went in I felt a homely warmth and my girl was super happy and playful in the environment.
It took her a couple of weeks
to adjust and get settled but she now loves it and talks about her room staff and friends all the time.
As a bilingual household, our daughter spoke no English at the point of joining the setting, the staff were INCREDIBLY accommodating, learnt a few words to be able to communicate and comfort her but most importantly we could see the individual thought and care into her learning this new normal and language. We are beyond thankful she's now thriving in her routine, language and overall development, as well as constantly talking about how much fun she has at nursery.

I can not recommend this nursery enough. My son started here when he turned one and he's now coming up to two and a half. The staff are incredible and have been a massive part of his development. He's formed a great bond with the staff here which is so nice to see. They have also helped us with things
we can do at home to help him develop. For example, activities to help encourage communication.


The activities the children take part in and the food they are provided is excellent. Most importantly, my son absolutely loves going here and we feel comfortable leaving him (which is always a worry for new parents).

I cannot praise Woodberry enough for their amazing service and care for my son. He had a tricky time at a previous nursery so we decided to move him and he has settled in so well. He has a close bond with a few staff members and they all do amazing work with all the children. The manager is also really
lovely and approachable and great at keeping us up to date on all changes. I get daily updates on my son's eating and toileting and some photographs through the app which is amazing. Thank you so much, Woodberry.

My husband and I found this nursery after moving nearby and one of our children started at Woodberry at 18 months. We have been so impressed with how her development has improved in such a short period of time and she is happy and enjoys her time here very much making lots of friends and having the
support and care from the wonderful team here. When we had our son I felt totally at ease for him to start and very relaxed about it knowing he will be well cared for. Highly recommend this nursery and thank you to the lovely team that do such a fab job!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience at Woodberry has been amazing. I met the team during my pregnancy to discuss my childcare needs and they kept in touch right up until she started. My daughter has been attending since she was 3 months old and I can honestly say that it's been a home-from-home experience - which has meant
a very content baby and a happy mummy.
The nursery manager has been there for us as a family from the beginning, she's been flexible with our needs and above all else, has put the needs of our daughter first. The team in the baby room and her key worker in particular are considered as family and we couldn't speak more highly of them. Our daughter has just turned one and I'm so grateful to the team at Woodberry for giving my daughter the best first year a baby could wish for.
If you are looking for a nursery where your child will be loved and looked after and spoilt for choice in terms of activities, then look no further.
Thank you to you all.

My kids love coming here. They have gone from baby room and toddler to just about to go to school and preschool. The team are great. There have been changes along the way but worked hard to keep continuity and consistency. The school leavers just did their graduation yesterday and the girls worked so
hard to make it great and put a lot of time in their memory bag. Loved it.
Well done team.

This a fantastic nursery. My daughter started recently following my return to work and I couldn't have found a more welcoming and friendly place. The staff are all so lovely and the nursery itself is brilliant. The rooms are great, there are loads of activities, access to a garden area and great food.
I would highly recommend this nursery to others.

We placed our son in here when I returned to work and I can honestly say from the beginning it has been amazing, we had a few separation issues but I rested assured every minute that he was fine and never had to worry. He loves going there and I am kept up to date with every movement, what he eats and
when he sleeps. I feel 100% at ease and would recommend this nursery to anyone! It's immaculate. Thank you to the team at Waterlooville Woodberry Day Nursery, as parents we are so thankful to you for supporting us whilst we have to work and knowing our child is safe and loved as one of their own!

My child absolutely loves going to nursery every day, that speaks volumes if not for anything else!
The staff are reliable and friendly and my child talks about them and the activities they have done a lot at home.
The app is great also for keeping up to date with what's going on, what they are eating,
drinking, doing and learning.
My child has come on leaps and bounds in confidence and I cannot thank you all enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Woodberry Day Nursery in April ahead of me starting back at work in May. Both he and I found it very difficult to be apart in the initial days, however, it became clear very quickly that he thoroughly enjoyed his time there. Which in turn made it a lot easier to leave him.
Now when
we arrive in the morning he is visibly excited to be there. The staff greet us every morning with excitement and a warm welcome. I genuinely look forward to picking him up and finding out how his day has been and what everyone has been up to.
The app is a huge bonus as I can check in on his meals, bottles and sleep throughout the day without having to be the annoying parent calling all the time and the weekly updates and pictures of the children's activities genuinely make my day when they are posted.
In summary, we love Woodberry Day Nursery and hugely appreciate the love, care and attention they devote.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.885) out of 10 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Waterlooville) Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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 4.900 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Waterlooville) Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.9
  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 3.985 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodberry Day Nursery (Waterlooville) Ltd is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.385
  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.
