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.

They have been great at engaging him with activities and learning, especially when they have noticed him struggling with things (like sitting still for more than a second!)
I really recommend Wooden House and have already been telling friends with small children to go there.
Thank you for taking the time to write your kind review. It has been lovely to support your little boy, watching him grow and develop with the help of our staff enabling him to take part in activities and have fun.
Wooden House Nursery is a lovely friendly nursery in a rural setting. The staff are very welcoming and plan a range of interesting activities for the children. Both my daughters have attended the setting and have loved their time there.

Thank you very much for your kind review. It's so nice to hear that your daughters have loved their time here.
Our child has absolutely loved Wooden House from day one, at just over two years old, right up until this year when he goes to school. It's an amazing location, but the staff are what really makes it. Each room has given him everything he needs, and we feel like he's treated/spoken to like a person...
Our child has absolutely loved Wooden House from day one, at just over two years old, right up until this year when he goes to school. It's an amazing location, but the staff are what really makes it. Each room has given him everything he needs, and we feel like he's treated/spoken to like a person rather than a toddler/child, which is really nice.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. We really do appreciate it.
Our son has been attending Wooden House nursery for over a year now and from day one we have always been made to feel welcome. He is so happy there. All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide him with so much care, attention and positivity. The staff have played a massive...

I would definitely recommend Wooden House to anyone thinking about sending their child there, and I will be sending my daughter when she is old enough.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review, we look forward to welcoming your daughter in the near future.

My son attends this nursery four times a week and I feel his needs are met very well. The staff have listened to our individual needs and worked with our family to provide a safe nurturing setting for my son. He totally loves his time in the setting, coming home and talking about what he has done. Also most recently I feel more included in his learning as the setting has adopted an app which I feel helps me to see what happens even if I'm working. The setting provides a great outside area and an all-weather outdoor shelter to play in providing fresh air at all times. It has use of the lovely Devon countryside.
Thank you for your kind response and for taking the time to leave feedback. I am pleased to hear your son is doing well and having his needs met in the setting and most importantly enjoying his time with us.
Best wishes,
Caroline
