Our daughter has been attending Woodlands for almost 18 months now and we can honestly that we have been delighted with the care she has received, the confidence she has developed and the friends she has made. She thoroughly enjoys each and every day and is so excited to show us what she has made or
talk about the things she has done and learnt.
The teaching staff are friendly, thoughtful and caring welcoming my daughter and me each day with a smile and a joke to the extent that kiddo barely looks back as she races in to nursery to start playing with her friends.
Whilst children are free to choose who, how and what they play with there is evidently a conscious effort to help them grow, broaden their horizons and try new things. The first time we heard our daughter talking to herself when she was struggling to do something and that she was going to "try, try and try again" we knew that Woodlands was the right place for her.
We would wholeheartedly Woodlands recommend to anyone.

All 3 of our children started their education at Woodlands and from not coming from a private school background we didn't know to expect but was positively surprised at what we've seen over the past 4 years. From educational development to the overall culture here. I cant recommend it enough. Great
staff, great environment, development growth, safety, happiness.

Woodlands has been an amazing nursery for my daughter. The teachers have created such a caring and wonderful environment for the children to develop at their own pace. My daughter has thrived at this school and they are forming a fantastic foundation for her later years. The learning and
opportunities are far beyond what I could have hoped for in the first years in a classroom, with a mix of visitors, forest school, interactive learning and play. A big thank you to such a special place.

Woodlands is a very special Nursery, the staff, facilities, and the nurturing nature are all reasons why my Son is thriving.
He has made wonderful friends, grown in confidence and can truly be himself.
I couldn't ask more for my Son than to be nurtured and cared for whilst having fun and learning.
A truly special place.

Woodlands nursery creates a magical, inspiring environment. In a matter of weeks my son has flourished in every aspect of his development- his confidence, social skills and academically. Children receive bespoke care and attention everyday which allows them to flourish at their own pace and are
encouraged to excel. Woodlands is so much more than a nursery- it is a place where your child will want to go more and more. My son comes home animated in what he has done during the day and the delicious lunch he has had.

I'm back at woodlands with my third child and each time it just gets better and more magical. You don't come across settings like this very often and no doubt that's why it's so rightly popular!
The teachers are all wonderful in their own right, each with their own specialism, always with a
smile on their faces and good humoured. They make it a seamless transition into the main school so that's one less thing to worry about at the end of the Woodlands journey!

We're extremely pleased with Woodlands. The children are all so happy and the staff are extremely warm and caring. They have a wide variation in activities and much of what they do helps provide the building blocks to make the transition to Reception easier for the children.

A 5* nursery. We have been very happy with Woodlands. The setting is beautiful and the teachers are wonderful. Our daughter has grown from strength to strength. We are very proud to be part of this Nursery and have no hesitation in recommending it. The nursery is engaging and their care is second to
none. We are so glad we found Woodlands. Our daughter is very happy there.

Woodlands is a truely special nursery. The staff are exceptional in what they do - they create such a warm, nurturing environment for children to learn, have fun and play! My child asks to go to Woodlands even when it is not a nursery day!

Our daughter has settled in really well at Woodlands since she started last term. She is enthused about what she has learned through play and keen to teach us at home too. She clearly feels very at home there and loves her teachers, who are great at providing fun and varied activities each day. The
teachers at Woodlands are so warm and nurturing, and I feel like she is having the best time there.

We have had our daughter at Woodlands for 15 months now, and she absolutely loves it - just as our son did before her. Her speed of advancement and learning has been incredible, and she is more than prepared for her next step into Reception at the neighbouring Beechwood Park School.
The
activities and learning opportunities at Woodlands are rich and varied. Our daughter enjoys frequent trips to forest school in the connecting woods, seasonal activities, and special visits from external visitors. Every day is full of new experiences and engaging learning.
She literally skips in with excitement each morning, and we couldn't be happier with the nurturing and stimulating environment provided. The staff are highly experienced professionals who are truly dedicated to the children, not people doing the job as an interim. We are so grateful for the foundation they have given our daughter and son.

Our youngest son started at Woodlands in September (2025) and has absolutely loved his first term! The staff are all incredible with the little ones and he has come home each day so excited to share what he has learnt and show us his drawings. Woodlands are amazing at engaging with each individual
child's specific interests to help them learn and encouraging their independence and confidence.
Our son loves the outdoor space and exploring the grounds during wellie walks but has also been practising really hard to write his name and age and is super proud to show anyone he can! The learning they do are like loads of different games which is such a brilliant way to engage the children and teach them while having fun. We've really noticed a big difference in our son since he started and it's wonderful to see how happy he is running in each morning to start the day.

A fantastic team that genuinely care about the children they look after.
Going the extra mile in terms of development and communication gives us the confidence we made the right choice in terms of which school to attend.
Always with a smile on their face and positive feedback from our child
would give us no hesitation in recommending this school.

Woodlands is an amazing nursery, we absolutely love it. The staff are all excellent and we couldn't be happier to send our child there. The breadth of learning and activities the children do is fantastic and we like the more structured approach they have to the day.

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.
22 March 2025
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!
14 February 2025
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!
