My son has been at Woodlands, Beechwood Park School's Nursery, for the past year and I couldn't be happier with our experience. He has absolutely loved every moment there - it's such a nurturing environment, with so many wonderful opportunities for him to learn through play. He settled in so well right from the start, which is all down to the amazing teachers who go above and beyond every day. The setting itself is spectacular too, providing the perfect backdrop for little ones to explore, grow and thrive. I genuinely couldn't have chosen a better place for my son - Woodlands really is the best start I could have given him.

Our twins started woodlands in September and they absolutely love it! They look forward to the days they are there and get excited about the things they are learning. The staff are incredible, so nurturing, kind and caring. We love woodlands!

We are so pleased that we found Woodlands Nursery for our Son. The care, the staff, the setting and the facilities could not be better. Our Son has learnt so much at Woodlands already in his short time here. The daily maths and phonics lessons are so beneficial and will really set the children up well for Reception. This nursery also offers forest school and P.E lessons to the children as an added bonus. The teachers show such enthusiasm and the regular updates through the app really help you see the hard work put in as well as a glimpse of your child's day. Keep up the amazing work team woodlands!

Wonderful Experience at Woodland Nursery! We couldn't be happier with our experience at Woodland Nursery! From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcomed and reassured, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. The setting is absolutely lovely-surrounded by nature, which gives children plenty of opportunities to explore and learn through play. The activities are well-structured, engaging, and designed to encourage creativity, independence, and social skills. The teachers and staff are incredibly patient, caring, and dedicated. They truly go the extra mile to ensure each child feels safe, valued, and supported in their development. Our little one has flourished since joining, building confidence and making wonderful friendships. We highly recommend Woodland Nursery to any parent looking for a safe, fun, and enriching environment for their child. Thank you to the amazing team for all your hard work and care!

Our son is incredibly happy at Woodlands. The teaching staff are incredible. The way they tailor the learning to the child's interests is amazing. No day is the same and they can spend the day exploring in the woods or playing monster trucks! Our son is always excited to go!

Woodlands is a wonderful preschool. Having used a different nursery setting for our eldest child we have the benefit of knowing just how different and special Woodlands is. All of the teachers and key workers are so engaged and interested in the children, the variety of learning and physical activities are fantastic and the setting is beautiful and spacious. Thank you Woodlands!

Wonderful nursery. Excellent facilities in beautiful countryside setting. Amazing range of activities and teaching to help children reach their full potential. Caring, engaging and dynamic staff. Responsive and effective leadership. My son thoroughly enjoys his time at Woodlands and has made fantastic progress since starting there.

Woodlands Nursery is a truly magical place for children. My son goes in eager and happy every day to see what his day at Woodlands will bring him. The setting itself is beautiful, purpose-built for little learners, surrounded by acres of idyllic green grounds and with the added additional benefit of having a Forest School, my son thoroughly enjoys his Forest school sessions. He is inspired and engaged every day, telling me all about his adventures/activities when I collect him. There is a lovely mix of child led learning as well as structured activities. The way the staff prepare the children for reception is amazing, my son has made leaps and bounds in his speech, writing and independence since starting at Woodlands. I could not speak more highly of Woodlands and the teaching team. I would highly recommend the nursery and school and are so grateful to them.

This is a fantastic nursery and we were lucky to have found it. The staff are extremely attentive to the needs of every child - we were very happy to see how well they get to know our child and how well they monitor our child's progress at every stage. My child cannot wait to go to Woodlands every morning which speaks volumes. The staff at Woodlands are professional, kind, supportive and on top of their game. Food-wise, while the food menu is very balanced and healthy, I would personally like to see less sugar desserts on the menu. (Hence giving it 4 out of 5 stars for food).

Woodlands has been a wonderful experience for our son. We can't praise the team highly enough for the work they do. Not only are they kind, caring and lovely all around, but also provide the best learning experience for the kids. The children are engaged with countless exciting activities every day. There are so many opportunities for them to explore and have fun yet the team never stops introducing new ones which is wonderful. Perhaps the best of all is that I get to see my son excited to go and that he says he absolutely loves being at nursery. As he progresses up to Reception at Beechwood Park School we will continue our journey with Woodlands with his little sister who is full of curiosity and can't wait to join the fun.

The staff at Woodlands has been exceptional. Always kind and caring. Brilliant estates. My little one has thoroughly enjoyed being at Woodlands since September 24. It's so lovely to see our little one growing in such a nurturing environment.

My son is very happy at Woodlands and the progress he's made since he started in September 2024 has been incredible! Staff are helpful, nurturing and excellent professionals, keeping children busy, engaged, enthusiastic about learning new things and most importantly (at least for me as a mom) happy and kind with others!

Woodlands has been an amazing experience for our son since he started in September 2024. We have been truly amazed at his progress in such a short time. The teachers are incredibly kind and caring, creating a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported. Woodlands works closely with parents on developmental goals, which we've found incredibly helpful. Communication is excellent, with class reps keeping parents updated and organising social events, which adds to the wonderful family-like atmosphere. One of the highlights is the Forest School sessions that take place multiple times throughout the term. The facilities are modern and well-equipped, and we love that for PE, the children go to the "big school," as our son calls it, which is a great way to prepare them for a school environment. We would highly recommend Woodlands Nursery to any parents looking for a supportive and enriching place for their child to grow and learn.

We could not be happier with our choice of nursery/preschool for our son. He joined just before his 3rd birthday; having previously been in a day nursery setting. There is no comparison between Woodlands and the day nursery (which we had thought we were relatively happy with before seeing Woodlands). Our son is so happy to go into Woodlands each morning. The staff really are excellent - very experienced early years practitioners who create a warm, nurturing environment for the children to learn through play. The children have structured small group sessions as well as lots of opportunities for free play; both inside and outside. Woodlanders benefit from the wider school offerings and outstanding facilities - having PE lessons each week in the school gym and doing Forest School sessions (where they've had great fun toasting marshmallows around a fire!). As parents, we have also been impressed with the level of communication with parents - via the app and in-person events.

Wonderful, warm and welcoming nursery with mixed ages that encourages children to learn and explore. Children play outside come rain or shine and our daughter always arrives and leaves with a smile on her face.

Outstanding nursery. Caring and nurturing. The staff are outstanding and the quality of care is consistently high. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery. It is truly is a magical environment. Our second child has recently followed in her brother's footsteps by joining Woodlands and based on our previous experience, we have opted for a 2 year placement (despite the term time hours only) as this nursery is second to none. We are very happy.

My son has attended Woodlands for just under a year and he has had a fantastic experience so far. He has formed positive relationships and grown in confidence. He loves his time at Woodlands for a number of reasons. The staff at Woodlands are excellent. They are kind, professional and highly experienced so they offer a varied range of activities utilising the extensive facilities at Woodlands and Beechwood. My son has exposure to the forest school, the school's sports hall and lots more. There is great emphasis on learning and education and my son also has the opportunity to be creative and explore areas and things that he enjoys. He is supported throughout and we couldn't be happier with our Woodlands journey.

My son has recently started Woodlands and we couldn't be happier. The staff are extremely caring and helped my son settle in. The facilities are amazing, and there is also a forest school. The nursery is well structured with different day-to-day activities. My son tells me about his day with excitement and has become a lot more confident in a short space of time. I highly recommend Woodlands Nursery to all parents.
25 September 2024
My second child is going through the nursery, and it quickly became a natural and enriching part of both my children's lives. The staff are kind, dedicated and truly understand children (many were at the nursery for years). They get to know each child as individuals, put so much care into bringing up the best in them and also connect with the parents at a genuinely human level. It feels like an extended family to us. We are very happy at Woodlands.

My son has been attending Woodlands Nursery for the past 10 days, and I couldn't be happier with our experience so far. From day one, he has been super happy and excited to go each morning which speaks volumes about the welcoming and engaging environment the nursery provides. One of the standout aspects of Woodlands Nursery is the way they create opportunities for children to explore a wide range of activities. My son is constantly engaged in new and exciting experiences, which has been wonderful for his development and happiness. The communication from the nursery has been excellent. I receive updates every day about what my son is doing, which keeps me informed and reassured that he is in good hands. This level of transparency and communication is highly appreciated. The resources and facilities at Woodlands Nursery are top-notch. They have everything needed to support a child's learning and development in a safe and nurturing environment. Wholeheartedly I can recommend it to others.
