Woodlands Nursery

Great nursery and excellent communication. Caring and patient staff. My son is more engaged than ever and it's amazing to see how much he'sdeveloping at 18 months. The staff have really helped him settle in. We couldn't be happier with the care he's receiving!

My daughter is currently in the hedgehog room and thriving! She is my first and only child and I had a lot of anxiety about sending her to nursery for the first time. I looked at several nurseries and fell in love with Woodlands. They align perfectly with my parenting style and I love the activities they have available. She spends a lot of time outside exploring and comes home everyday having learned something new and adorable. I appreciate the way each member of staff speaks to me and my child with compassion and care. I also love how I can see just how much each of my daughters teachers adore her! It is a relief to drop her off and know that she is truly cared for and not just a kid they watch. The lunch menu is amazing and my child eats things at nursery she would never eat at home!

The staff are amazing and our children very much enjoy their time at Woodlands. They love the activities on offer. They have both had a noticeable improvement in terms of their vocabulary and social skills since they joined. They are always very happy to go to "school" and as parents we are so pleased that we don't have to worry.

We love Woodlands! The staff have been so lovely and helped our baby to settle quickly - he is now really comfortable and enjoys the routine. He loves going out for a walk everyday, and is eating really well thanks to the tasty meals and snacks that are offered throughout the day. I was worried he wouldn't nap at nursery but the staff and environment at woodlands have been great and he now does a long nap every day and usually has to be woken up. We also love the classroom facilities - it is lovely for the children to be able to explore the whole space and have such a variety of toys and activities on offer. We also really love the All Sorts Tots class that is held on Thursday mornings. We really feel our son is receiving a high standard of love and care from the staff at Woodlands and the nursery environment has been excellent for his confidence and development.

This nursery is truly outstanding. Our daughter enjoys three days filled with expert care and enriching activities that foster her growth and development. The staff are exceptionally skilled and attentive, ensuring she receives the best possible care. The range of activities offered keeps her engaged and stimulated, making each day a new and exciting experience. Communication with the nursery team is excellent, keeping us informed and involved in our daughter's progress and daily routines. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our daughter receives here.

The activities offered ante interesting and varied. The staff are caring and supportive at all times and always go the extra mile to make sure our daughter feels happy and safe at nursery. She loves her time at Woodlands and learns so much from a wide range of exciting experiences. We couldn't be happier.

Woodlands Nursery has been great for our little girl. She is absolutely thriving there and they are great at helping her learn new skills and tailoring what they do with her to work with what she is doing away from nursery.

Woodlands is a fantastic nursery. The setting is beautiful (inside and out) and despite the fact that it's a nursery, and there are always kids running around, it always looks clean! I have experience with the teachers in both hedgehogs and bunnies and they are all so lovely, kind and caring, including the manager who is always available to talk to if needed. I also have experience with the SENCo there are they have been so thorough and helpful with my daughters needs. The teachers are very interested in the children's development, they all learn the children's names (even if it's a teacher from another room) and they have also been great in helping prep them and us as parents for starting school.

Our little boy started at Woodlands in April, and I could not be happier with our choice. I was extremely apprehensive about leaving him but the staff were so nurturing and made him feel at home instantly. There are always plenty of activities to choose from and the outside space is lovely. I look forward to introducing our little girl to Woodlands in September.

My only constructive criticism would be to improve communication to admin emails which can be missed out or not acknowledged. (The daily updates and daughter's daily log of activities are not included in this complaint - these are fab)

My 3-year-old daughter has been attending Woodlands for the last few months now and we are so grateful for all the support provided by the staff to help her settle in. We can see that she has really come out of her shell and has built a lot of confidence since. Her key worker especially has been amazing and has encouraged her with her potty training too. We definitely feel we have made the best choice for a nursery for our daughter. Also, we have already decided that our 3-month baby will also attend the same nursery in the future.

I do wish there could be a few choices for lunch rather than a set menu so that alternatives and choices are available otherwise my daughter goes hungry and is a fussy eater.

When our daughter had a period of feeling nervous about being left at nursery, the staff spent time thinking of brilliant ideas to help her transition, including making a box filled with special things for her to get every day after she arrived. We were so grateful for the care and time taken to help her. It worked, too!

After a terrible experience with a childminder and having to move my son I was so grateful to start him at Woodlands Nursery. They were slow and patient with his needs and have made his settling in the best experience. Since starting here he has thrived better than ever and I would recommend the manager and her team to anyone! Absolutely fantastic nursery!

Our two daughters were always very happy at Woodlands. The staff are supportive and friendly and the setting is safe with lots of outdoor space to roam in. As a nursery, Woodlands has been everything we wanted and a good start for our girls.

I felt so anxious about returning to work and putting my daughter in a nursery for others to look after - it's such a worrying time for parents and something I personally was dreading. After moving from one nursery which didn't agree with us, I was highly recommended Woodlands by a friend and honestly, I am so grateful for that recommendation! Woodlands ticks all of the boxes. I feel so confident leaving my daughter in their care, all staff are so friendly, and kind and they take their time to understand each child as an individual to meet their needs. They really care. My daughter just loves it. From management to frontline staff, it feels like a family. I am updated throughout the day with all the wonderful things they organise for the children, wonderful pictures and in-depth reports. My daughter has developed so much since being there, she surprises me every day with something new she has learnt. She absolutely loves Woodlands and we couldn't recommend it enough!

We love Woodlands. Our little girl is always so excited to arrive at nursery and loves the staff. They spend a lot of time outdoors which is so important to us and we can tell she's learning a lot. Wonderful!

Fantastic nursery. The staff are fab and really help and support with our son's learning journey. The learning environment is also lovely and they also really encourage outdoor activities. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this nursery.

We are very pleased we chose Woodlands for our son. The staff are kind and supportive as well as professional and are always helpful if we have queries. The setting is ideal for our outdoor-loving little one, with superb facilities inside and out. Activities seem fun and engaging and our son loves attending nursery. It is a pleasure to have him at Woodlands we look forward to seeing him develop further under their fantastic care.
