Our daughter attends Woodlands Nursery, and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. The team have been absolutely fantastic in helping her settle and adapt, she struggled a little at first, but now she looks forward to going in every day. The baby room staff are amazing, I can't praise them all enough, so caring, patient, and attentive to our child's needs. The nursery itself is always clean, safe, and very welcoming. You can tell the staff genuinely care and take pride in creating such a lovely environment for the children. We're so grateful for everything the Woodlands team have done to settle our daughter and make it a pleasant experience for us all. I highly recommend Woodlands.

The nursery is always clean, warm and welcoming. My child loves coming to nursery- she enjoys the staff, the activities and the food. The different age-appropriate rooms mean children can move around as they develop. Would recommend the nursery.

Our child has had a really positive experience at Woodlands. The staff are always friendly, provide information about the child's day and have been great with our child. She is always happy to go into nursery and always has a positive day!

I highly recommend The Woodlands Nursery. My son has attended for the last two years and he's thriving. The staff are exceptional, friendly and nurturing and I receive regular updates on my child's progress. His speech and language skills have excelled, along with his confidence. Each room is welcoming and I particularly love how much they spend outside exploring the wonderful gardens.

Our son has been at the nursery since he was 9 months old and he's now almost 3, and we couldn't be happier with how much he's developed. He's grown up with a lovely group of friends, many of whom he's known since baby class, and it's been wonderful watching them all move through the nursery together. The staff are incredibly encouraging and take such a personal approach with each child. They've supported him in so many areas - from learning to speak clearly, to counting, recognising colours, and even with potty training. He loves to tell us what food he's eaten at nursery each day! It's always nutritious and delicious, he always asks for seconds! We're often told how advanced he is, and we know a big part of that is thanks to the amazing care and attention he's received here. It's a truly lovely nursery with even lovelier staff - always approachable, friendly, and easy to deal with. We couldn't recommend it more highly.

All the staff have been very helpful from when I drop my child off and when he leaves nursery. They are very informative and advise you what the course of action they have set in place. As a mum, you want your child to be happy at a place and I know he's safe with is reassuring.

Our son went to Woodlands for 2 years, passing through little learners and then preschool. Although he was very apprehensive at first, he soon settled in with the amazing staff they have. We visited and scoped out every nursery in the vicinity for our son, and would hands down choose this place over and over. We travelled out of area to take him there because of this, and still do travel from out of area to take our daughter, as there is just no comparison with how good they are in every respect. Thank you for always keeping us at ease knowing our children have been, and will be, looked after in the same way we would look after them, when we aren't there.

Our daughter has been attending Woodlands Nursery for 2 years now and has always absolutely loved it. The staff have been brilliant with her in every room she has been in and have got to know her so well. I love all the little extra things they have on through the year through the seasons. My little girl is absolutely thriving and has learned so much through all the activities and she absolutely loves how much time she spends outdoors playing with so many different experiences.

My little one has been at The Woodlands for just over 2 years now and he loves it. The staff are friendly and approachable and really take the time to get to know all of the children and their families. Each transition has been emotional for my son, but the nursery have supported him, nurtured him, and have communicated with us throughout each move to ensure he feels happy. Nothing is too much trouble and the nursery encourages you to ring to check in if you have any concerns at all. My son absolutely loves going to 'pre-school' and it is lovely to hear him come out with new things like the days of the week song, new nursery rhymes (twinkle twinkle chocolate bar was a favourite for a while) and talking about things that he has done each day and his friends there. It really is lovely knowing he is so happy there.

My son recently started, I was apprehensive at first as I am a first time mother, he settled really well in his first week and I believe that's due to the staffs attentiveness and my son feels comfortable with them. I like that there are a large number of staff ensuring the children are well cared for, I also get the impression that the children are treated as individuals with individual personalities.

After viewing all the nurseries in the area, Woodlands Nursery stood out to me and felt like the best choice for my 13 month old daughter. Since starting she has been so well cared for. It's the hardest thing in the world to hand your baby over to be in other people's care but I have always been so impressed with the love and care shown to my daughter during her 18 months at Woodlands, first in Baby Room, then in Tots, and now in Early Learners. She has always eaten and slept well at nursery and the staff are accommodating of my daughter's vegetarian diet. The activities my daughter takes part in are fun and engaging. She is always so happy when I pick her up and I can tell that she's had a fun day! The outdoor space is large and impressive, lots of space for little ones to run around. My daughter has really advanced since being at Woodlands, her speech is great for her age and she is such a confident little girl, Woodlands has a big part to play in that!

Our Daughter Amelia hs been going to The Woodlands Nursery for almost a year now and has grown so much in that time, we love seeing the activities she does during the day and hearing little stories on pick up about how things have gone. The staff have always been friendly, kind and helpful and its a really positive and nurturing enviroment to be a part of, we couldnt ask for much more! We deinfetly will also be sending out second child here when he time is right!

We have been with Woodlands Nursery for nearly 7 years, trusting them with the care of both my girls when I went back to work after maternity leave. The staff are kind, compassionate and caring, I could relax and focus on my job knowing my girls are in good hands. I cannot speak highly enough of the woodlands team. Thank you.

My little boy is always happy to go in nursery. He enjoys being with the members of staff and the team have helped him mature from a little baby to a confident little toddler. It is hard to leave your baby with other people but they make me feel so at ease and he now picks up his bag in the morning and walks to the door ready for the day.

Lovely nursery, my little boy has been going since he was 11 months and he's loved it. He's 3 now and has made some lovely friends and all of the staff are brilliant with him. They genuinely care about the children and it shows, all of the staff are so friendly and always look so calm and happy. Would highly recommend.

My daughter started at this nursery in April, and I couldn't be happier with how well she has settled in. I was worried at first about how she would adjust, but the staff were so reassuring and welcoming from the beginning which made the transition easier than i thought. Now she absolutely loves coming in each day, It's clear she feels happy which makes such a big difference.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery! From the moment we joined, we felt such a welcoming, family atmosphere. The staff are incredible - they go above and beyond every single day, showing genuine care and kindness. Our child absolutely loves going and is thriving here. We've seen so much growth in his learning, confidence, and development since starting. It's clear that the team put their hearts into creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. We're so grateful to be part of such a wonderful community. Highly recommend!

Our little girl has only been there a couple of weeks but we are already so happy with everything! The app updates are amazing and being able to call and check in on her has really made the settling in period easier for mum dad and child. Always greeted with a warm, friendly smile. Shout out to Paige in Tots room who I feel has really gone above and beyond to make our daughter feel welcome and us as parents very comfortable with our new routine.

My son started Woodlands Nursery last October in the Little Learners class. They were absolutely fantastic at settling him (and me!) in. They listened to his interests and adapted to make him feel comfortable and enjoy his time there. He has formed lovely bonds with the staff and loves going in 2 days a week. The recent move to the pre-school room has been a big adjustment for him but again the staff go above and beyond to ensure he is happy. So glad we chose Woodlands!

The Woodlands Nursery has been the perfect place for my child to grow within. They have been a part of the nursery since they were 1 and now at nearly 4 years old I can see how their commitment to the wellbeing of the children has helped my child blossom throughout their time there. They are focused on nurturing, whilst providing excellent structure and building skills needed to thrive outside of the nursery based on the national curriculum. There is always excellent communication and the food they provide the children is outstanding, healthy and is nutritionally balanced. An outstanding facility I would recommend to anyone!
