Review from Lauren G (Mother of Child) published on 17 January 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Absolutely love Wooden House Nursery, couldn't ask for a better setting for my little one to be in. My little one has the best time every time, always very excited to tell me or show what they have made each session. They are always doing the best activities, learning new things each day. Staff are lovely, helpful, friendly, warm and very supportive with any issues. They have a great outdoor space too, loads of outdoor equipment for all the children to play with.

Highly recommend.

Overall Experience
My son spent a year at Wooden House, and he absolutely loved it there. From his first settling session (when he cried because he had to come home) to his last day, he was always excited to go.
He really thrived there and had a brilliant connection with all his teachers.

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.

Review from Tim C (Father of Child) published on 11 October 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

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.

Best wishes,

Caroline
