    When our son started nursery he was made to feel like one of the family by staff. Any issues the staff always provide detailed information to families about any upcoming events like world book day. They are always happy kind caring and happy staff and the children always are excited to enter the setting every morning.

    Both of my children have attended The Woodlands nursery and I have nothing but praise for the lovely team. They are always friendly and approachable and my daughter (who is currently at the nursery) absolutely enjoys her days with the friends and the ‘lovely ladies.’ I can’t thank the team enough for the fantastic start they have given both my children.

    My son has been going to the Woodlands now for around a year. I have always felt so comfortable leaving him as he’s always so happy to go in everyday, and never refuses or gets upset, and always happy when collecting him, which tells me he is happy. All the staff always show such a loving, happy and positive attitude towards my son, which is so lovely to see.
    They provide lots of fun activities and days out too. I would highly recommend this nursery.

    Both daughters attend the Woodlands and seem to absolutely love it. They always come out so happy which is such a big confidence booster as a parent that they are in the right place. The outings and trips they do with the children are frequent, interesting and fun. The confidence and language development by going to Woodlands is obvious as well as the notable development of their social skills. The staff are always so happy and engaging – sometimes I don’t even get a ‘goodbye’ from my elder, she just runs straight in! Thank you for the amazing work that you all do!

    My son started going to The Woodlands in 2021 which during the height of the pandemic was a bit worrying but I can’t praise the staff there highly enough. It’s a clean and beautiful setting. Since my son started there his speech has come on no end and his social skills have too. He absolutely loves going and seeing all of his friends and teachers. You can really see it’s a genuinely loving and caring environment not just one of learning but also one where the children find themselves. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, they listen to all of your concerns and are always there to give you any advice too. Thank you ladies for all you do. I cannot wait to send my daughter in the future.

    My son has been at Woodlands since he was 8 months old. He is starting school in September and we will really miss the friendly, helpful staff at Woodlands. Nothing is too much trouble and they really do try to cater for the individual child. The cooked food is also a winner!

    Our ‘daughter’ has been going to The Woodlands since October 2020 and she has thrived every day. She sadly had suffered some adverse childhood experiences which made her quite wary, and the nursery was a brand new concept to her but right from the get-go she has been nurtured, supported, and loved, and she has come on in leaps and bounds socially, emotionally and academically. I know we will be so very sad to leave them all, it makes me teary just thinking about it and will really miss everyone, especially one member of staff, in particular, who she absolutely adores. I highly recommend this nursery.

    We have sent 2 children here over the last 3 1/2 years. Warm, welcoming, wonderful staff who have helped to build our children’s confidence, taught them new skills and given them love and hugs when they’ve needed it. We’ve been very happy with Woodlands and would recommend it to friends and family.

    Since starting at this nursery over 2 years ago, my granddaughter has loved every minute there, this is truly an amazing place that I would highly recommend, the staff are outstanding and a credit to the nursery. She has learnt so much, the facilities are great and above all, she is in a safe environment.

    My child has thrived at Woodlands, it’s such a lovely setting, like home from home. The staff are all lovely too and very welcoming. My child always comes home and tells me about what they have done that day and I’m impressed by what they have learned.

    My eldest daughter (3) always goes in and comes out happy. She has thrived since going and has learnt so much from the lovely and attentive staff here. My youngest daughter (1) has just started this month, and so far, she has settled in extremely well, which is always a relief. The team here just seem so at ease with the children and always look out for their best interests. Communication is great, and the online app is great for giving us insight into what they get up to. I would highly recommend this nursery setting to anyone.

    My son loves going to this nursery. All the staff have been amazing, welcoming and always friendly. My son has learned so much from social skills to expanding his learning development. They are detailed to the highest standard when giving the day’s report upon collection. My son has dietary needs and they have been very aware and have been very adaptable to his needs.

    My daughter has been coming here since she was 6 months old and she has been coming on leaps and bounds. The girls are absolutely amazing with her and she smiles at each and every one, when they come into the room. I’m so pleased I chose this nursery for my daughter as she was able to settle quickly and the staff kept me updated regularly throughout the day.

    My little girl has only been at The Woodlands for a couple of months but has settled in as if it’s been forever. She absolutely adores going, her wonderful ladies who all are like Disney characters to me, cheesy but true! I had a bad experience at her previous nursery and my nerves get the better of me sometimes but as soon as I receive an update text with several photos of her beaming smile all my worries melt away. I’m so, so pleased I chose The Woodlands, I promise it will be the best decision you ever make too!

    The ladies at The Woodlands go above and beyond to care for, nurture and watch over my daughter. She has come on leaps and bounds since joining and despite only coming once a week, always comes home having learned something new. Her motor skills and communication have increased unbelievably. She is always well-fed with healthy, homemade dinners and snacks after having the best day of learning and play. She is always so excited for nursery day and really enjoys seeing the staff and the friends that she has made. I and my husband cannot thank the staff enough for the energy they put into their work and I would recommend The Woodlands to anyone.

    Where do I start this nursery has been an absolute blessing to my granddaughter. Since attending this nursery my granddaughter has come on in leaps and bounds. She has become more confident her speech and language has improved so much and she enjoys telling us about the fantastic times she has had at nursery from baking to making volcanoes erupt. My granddaughter particularly loves the outside play and the mud kitchen where she is allowed to explore messy play, yes I agree with the staff she is a muck magnet and we love that she can explore in this way. She has made so many friends and loves the warm up dance in the mornings with staff and friends. I can’t thank all the staff enough for their kindness and support which is given freely on a daily basis to my granddaughter she loves you all very much. From my point of view the staff are highly qualified and follow all their policies and procedures. They are brilliant communicators to all families. I would 100% recommend this nursery

    Both of my little girls have been going here since last year and both have thrived in this nursery. My eldest started here as quite a shy quiet child and every day she is growing in confidence thanks to the encouragement given to her by every member of staff. There is always a friendly familiar face to welcome you every morning. Due to the smaller size of this nursery and that their staff turn over is low, you feel that the children develop a good bond with all of the staff which makes transitioning through the rooms a lot less unsettling. Communication is good and the ladies always try to put your mind at ease if the children are a little unsettled by sending messages in the day. The staff in the baby room are so loving and attentive to individual children’s needs and create a home away from home. They plan new topics and experiences every day for the children to be involved with which is lovely to see. Keep up the good work.

    My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since moving to the nursery. She wakes up every morning excited to go and see all her friends. The nursery has shown me the parents’ app and I can see she is having the time of her life there and growing her confidence so much!

    Our youngest daughter only attends The Woodlands once a week, so we were surprised to see how quickly she has settled in. This is down to the warm and caring welcome she receives and the fantastic range of activities. Our eldest daughter still talks fondly about her time there too. Well done to you all.

    My baby boy has been attending for a couple of months now and settled into nursery so quickly. All the staff are so lovely and make the effort to get to know him- we love the home from home feel! Nothing is too much trouble for them and they always mirror his routine from home with sleeps and bottles. My son loves the range of activities they provide, especially the messy play. We cannot thank the staff enough for their care and the education they provide!
