  • Wooden House Nursery, Tiverton
Situated in the rural area of Chettiscombe, in The Cider Barn, Wooden House Nursery offers high quality early years care and education in a home from home setting.

The nursery has recently undergone an expansion in September 2025, which has included the addition of a brand new pre-school room. This has created additional vacancies for all age groups and allowed for the existing space to be used in a much more flexible way to best meet the needs of all children.
Wooden House is an engaging and stimulating environment, where children are encouraged to be independent, participate and become active leaders of their own learning. Children have direct access to a secure garden outdoors to allow children the chance to explore the natural world and where outdoor learning is a huge part of their every day curriculum.

Following the EYFS curriculum, each day is designed to promote development whilst also ensuring children have fun, socialise with their peers and have the opportunity to explore their own interests which support progress of their next steps.

The team welcome all children and their families to visit the nursery and take a look around, they are sure you will feel right at home from the moment you step through the door.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so glad we chose Wooden House for our daughter's nursery. The nursery has a lovely rural setting with amazing outside space for the children to play. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly and are incredibly attentive to all the children's needs. They very much work with the parents to
ensure that your child's needs are met. My daughter struggled when she first started at nursery as she was very shy and introverted around people she didn't know or in unfamiliar environments. The staff were amazing at helping her to settle into nursery and within just two weeks, we'd already noticed a big difference. A few months on, and she has blossomed. She has so much more confidence now and loves interacting with new people. We've even had family remark on the change and we feel that Wooden House has played a big part in this. The app is great and it's lovely to see the activities that they plan for the children. They also spend a lot of time outdoors which I love.
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryMany thanks for your kind review. It has been lovely to see how your daughter has progressed and grown in confidence. It is so valuable to have good relations and communication with parents so we can work together on processes such as settling in and I think that this has been key for your daughter.

Our son loves being outdoors, so the rural setting and amazing outside space at Wooden House were what first drew us in and really sets them apart from other nurseries in and around Tiverton. The staff are so friendly and caring, and we love getting regular updates through the app each day.
Having previously
had a childminder and after relocating, this was a big change for our 2 year old - he sometimes finds drop-offs hard, but the team have been brilliant at helping him (and us!) through this. We know he's happy there and really enjoys his days. His communication skills have also come on so much since starting 4 months ago too. We're really glad we chose Wooden House.
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryThank you for taking the time to complete a review. We are very lucky with our outside space and it is somewhere the children like to spend a lot of their time. I am glad that we have been able to support you as a family as part of the settling in process. We know how difficult it can be for everyone to change settings so it is important to us that we consider the whole family in this process.

We can't say enough about how good wooden house has been for both of are children especially are boy. He started nursery really upset and unsettled but now he will happily run in and enjoy himself. They support both our children when they had to adjust to having a new brother at home. There so welcoming
and nothing seem to be a problem. The outside space is brilliant especially when you've got children who love going outside also the new room set ups are outstanding. They've made the whole nursery experience a lot more easier especially with all the updates throughout the day, it feels like an extension to our family.
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryThank you for your lovely review. It is great to hear how we have been able to help your son in particular settle especially as he found it difficult to leave you initially. I am pleased to hear how you like the new room and with access straight onto the garden it has been very popular with the children.

Our son started at Wooden House when he was 11 months old, and now at 2 years old he has thrived in their care.
The team have always made us feel welcomed and reassured. They take the time to understand our childs needs and personality, and it's clear how much they genuinely care. We can see how much
he enjoys his time there through the learning, play and relationships he's built.
As parents, we've always felt informed and supported. Nursery staff are approachable, open and happy to talk about his day or answer any questions. We would recommend Wooden House to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive childcare setting.
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryThank you for your kind review. I am really pleased to hear that you are receiving good feedback from our staff and that they are available for you to talk to. Good relationships with parents are an important part of what we do to help and help to support each child's holistic development both at home and in the setting.

Wooden House Nursery is such a wonderful and caring setting for our little girl. She took a while to settle and find her feet, but the staff have been so supportive and really helped the process. We feel like the nursery is an extension of our family. Staff are always super welcoming. The new building
is awesome and I love the undercover outside area, so the children can always be outside what ever the weather. The changes they are making to the setting are all positive. Thank you for making the nursery experience feel easy.
Reply from Natalie Purkiss, Head of Childcare at Wooden House NurseryThank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review of Wooden House Nursery. We are really proud of the improvements we have made to the environment by creating our new purpose build pre-school room and can see the positive impact this is having on all children in the setting.
We are delighted that you are so happy with the experience you have had at the setting since your little girl started with us and to describe us as an extension of your family is heart warming to hear, thank you. Best wishes Natalie

We love Wooden House and the team that work there. A few minutes' drive from Tiverton town centre, the nursery offers so much more outside space than other nurseries in the town due to its rural setting. We get regular updates on our daughter's day through the app. Wooden House is an excellent nursery;
we're so glad that we chose it.
Reply from Natalie Purkiss, Head of Childcare at Wooden House NurseryThank you so much for your 5* review of Wooden House Nursery. We are delighted that you are so happy with the setting. We are very proud of our location and the facilities that we have to enable children to learn and explore in the outdoor environment.

Wooden House is a fantastic Nursery.
Our Daughter loves going. So much so that she almost jumps out of my arms when she sees the lovely staff in the mornings at drop off.
You get updates all through the day about what the kids have been up to and snack/nap/nappy updates.
We honestly couldn't be happier
with this brilliant little nursery!
Reply from Natalie Purkiss, Head of Childcare at Wooden House NurseryThank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review of Wooden House. It is heart warming to hear that you could not be happier with the service that you receive at the setting.

Our team are amazing and we are very proud that they provide such an excellent service to our children and families. Best wishes Natalie

My son absolutely adores all the staff at wooden house. As someone who has to travel for work it's really reassuring to know that my little boy is happy when I'm not there. The facilities are brilliant and the activities the kids do are great. They have an app where the photos of the day are uploaded
and your invoices are uploaded making everything easy to use and traceable. I couldn't recommend woodenhouse more.
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryIt has been so lovely watching your son grow and develop from starting with us in the baby room. He has strong bonds with many of the staff and loves to explore, especially in the outside area. It is good to hear how useful the app is, especially in your situation when you are away but still able to see what activities your son has taken part in during the day. Many thanks for taking time to complete your kind review.

The nursery helped my 2-year-old settle in incredibly quickly after moving from another setting. He absolutely loves it and has built strong connections with several members of staff, not just his key worker, which has been really reassuring. They do lots of reading, engaging activities (he often comes
home with baked goods!), and singing - and one of the staff plays her guitar to the children, which is just lovely. I always feel that my child is very safe, happy, and well cared for here. They also have a great outdoor space and get the children outside as much as possible.


Highly recommend.

Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryThank you very much for your kind review. Once a child is settled we like them to form links with all the staff so they fell safe and secure even when they are not there and it is lovely to hear that you as a parent can see this. We are very lucky to have a member of staff with music talents that we can use with the children as they love the sessions and music is such as valuable activity for helping children's holistic development. It has been a pleasure to see how well your son has settled in and see him enjoying the outside area in all weathers!

The lovely staff have been fantastic at supporting my son's transition to Wooden House nursery. They have taken the time to get to know and understand him and he is happy at drop off and pick up. I know he is having a great day when there and is being well looked after. We love seeing the daily photos
and they are always up to something fun. They have a fantastic outdoor space as well, which is such a bonus. They support him in his development and help him in meeting his milestones, as well as keeping us up to date in how he's getting on! Thank you!
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryMany thanks for your lovely review. One of the most important things is that children are happy when they are in our care, so it is good to hear that the photos we put out for parents to see reflect that as well as showing what they have been up to during their day. We also work hard to engage with each child and family individually to meet their needs when they join the setting, and it is rewarding to hear that this has been the case for yourselves and the transition has gone well.

My son came to Wooden House in July 2025 after having been at a previous nursery which he had loved. We were sad to move him but all the staff were brilliant in supporting us all with the transition particularly their fantastic manager who would check in regularly as he was struggling to settle.
He
loves the activities they plan and the great space outdoors and has built a good relationship with the staff, especially his fantastic key worker who he adores.
I would highly recommend Wooden House. Some nurseries might look fancier or have more space/resources but this place is all about the people and I know my son is cared for, listened to and supported to grow and develop.
Thank you
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryThank you for your kind review. It is lovely to hear that we, as staff, have been able to support you and your son in the transition from another setting. I consider one of our greatest resources to be our human resource, we are lucky enough to have a range of staff, from those who have been with us for a considerable amount of years and bring lots of experience along with those who are starting out on their journey and come with new and different ideas creating a great team. We look forward to continuing to work together and supporting your sons development and journey in education.

Our son has just left Wooden House to start school in September after attending the nursery for 2.5years. He is an incredibly shy and cautious child and all the staff were hugely supportive and understanding of this, allowing him to build his confidence in his own time. The setting is perfect, with
lovely access to the garden and also an outside covered area, which was fantastic for our son who loves being outdoors. Everyday they had a great range of fun and educational activities for the children which was perfect in developing key skills and setting him up for the next step. The manager was always very responsive and helpful to any queries we had. I would definitely recommend Wooden House.
Reply from Natalie Purkiss, Head of Childcare at Wooden House NurseryThank you so much for taking the time to write a lovely review of Wooden House.

It is a privilege to be able to teach, support and help the children grow into the amazing individuals they become. Best wishes

Our little boy has just left Wooden House but we have been very happy with his time here. Being an outdoor boy meant he loved the setting as there is both an outside play area and an undercover area to play in and this was what he enjoyed. He loved the friends he made during his time here and appreciated
all the support he was given from the staff, when at times he struggled being dropped off. At pick up he was always very happy and we know he was engaged in all the fun activities that the staff planned so well. Seeing the pictures each day also highlighted the fact that he enjoyed his time there. His development, both socially and academically has definitely come on leaps and bounds during his time here. He is now much more prepared for starting school, and we are grateful to all the staff for this.
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryMany thanks for your review. It was so nice to see your son grow in confidence during his time with us. To see the interactions that he had with other children just before leaving to go to school was lovely. As you say he enjoyed accessing either of our outside areas at all times and was able to do this during each session. Best wishes for September and new beginnings as you start your next stage of your educational journey.

We're so glad we chose Wooden House Nursery for our daughter. She's very shy and takes a while to engage with people but she settled in quickly at the setting, thanks to the care and support of the staff. There's always a wide range of activities for the children to take part in, which are well thought
out and links to their developmental progress.
The outdoor space is ideal, with plenty of room and lots of different areas to explore, such as the sandpit, slide and 'ice cream shop' (which the children were involved in designing the signs, ice creams and doughnuts). If the weather's too hot/cold they're also able to play in the barn - a covered outdoor area where there's lots more toys and activities to explore.
The app (used to update parents) is fantastic and is updated throughout the day.
All the staff are really caring and provide such warmth to the children that they are able to build trusting relationships, putting them in good stead for when they start school.
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryThank you for your review. It has been so lovely to watch your daughter's confidence grow during her time with us, it has been great to see how far she has come. As you mention there are lots of varied activities in different environments at the setting giving children lots of opportunities in a space that they are most comfortable in. It is also good to hear that the communication we provide to family's via the app during the day is helpful and informative. We wish you and your daughter the very best in your next stage of her education.

We are absolutely thrilled with our choice of Nursery. The setting is based surrounded by stunning national trust land and opposite a farm with ample out door and undercover space to play in all weathers.
My little boy started in November and settled beautifully forming bonds with the wonderful friendly
staff and making friends quickly.
My son excitedly comes home telling me what he has learned in his day which is always backed up by photographs of the children's day on the well utilised Family app. The staff equally enthusiastically greet him in the morning and ask him about his time away from the setting which he thrives on.
The manager is incredibly knowledgeable and always happy to engage with any questions parents might have.
I sincerely believe that wooden house has prepared my son beautifully for school and has more than contributed to the excited engaging little boy I will be sending into school in September.
Reply from Caroline Taplin, Manager at Wooden House NurseryThank you very much for such a lovely review. It has been so nice to see how your son has settled and made friends, and that he feeds back to you at the end of the day about what he has been doing. It is always good to hear that the service we provide supports the family and not just the child. We wish you all the very best in the next stage of your educational journey.

(1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
