Woosehill Day Nursery

Both my children have thrived and thoroughly enjoyed their time at Woosehill Day Nursery. The nursery provides engaging activities with lots of time spent exploring the outdoors and a nurturing environment for learning. My child is very fond of the staff members at the nursery and looks forward to going to nursery every day. From a parent perspective, I am confident in the staff and management at the nursery to support my child’s needs and well being and encourage them to talk about their feelings and maintain a safe environment in which they can grow and learn.

Our boy loves this nursery and the staff there, he’s always happy and tells us stories about his days at nursery. The staff are super fantastic with his learning development due to his hearing impairment; they are so supportive and committed. They even learned to sign language for him; it means a lot to us as deaf parents! The nursery has been hugely part of our boys’ lives since 2014, and we look forward to another four years with his younger brother joining in soon.

My little boy started here at 14-months-old, and we are amazed to see how soon and how well he settled in there. He goes in and comes out so happy. Staff are wonderful; they actually care for him and do things with him. They are open to feedback and responds promptly. I love the way they brief me about him at the end of each morning. They even helped me on a bit which was not directly related to nursery life. I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you all there.

We chose Woosehill for the care of our five and a half month old based on the authenticity and enthusiasm of the nursery manager. She evidently cares wholeheartedly for the setting, staff and children (who clearly adore her) and makes commendable efforts to ensure every child is nurtured. We felt that she was someone we could trust and our baby has settled fantastically with his key and room workers. They do so much to involve a younger baby, but also give space when needed. The setting is in a lovely quiet area and has a homely peacefulness to it that also appealed to us. We’re content and happy that our baby is sensitively cared for by friendly personable staff.

My daughter has been attending Woosehill since she was 18 months. She loves every minute of it. She’s moved through all 3 rooms and care in each has always been of a really high standard. The activities they do are really well planned out and the recent school preparation she’s started is really thoroughly planned. The building is quite small but well laid out with a big garden area and mud kitchen. My daughter loves the weekly forest walks. She’s never sad to go to nursery – sometimes she wants to go on the weekends. The management is consistent and has been the same since she started. This was really important to me as a parent.

This is an excellent nursery with wonderful staff – my child started at nursery in The Nest room for younger children in March 2021 being just over 9 months old. Both the management team and the staff have been involved from day one in keeping us informed, making sure we are happy with our child’s progress and sending us daily updates through the app. Our child is very well looked after, loved by the team and encouraged to grow and has formed such strong bonds with all the staff even though it has only been a few months. They have supported us as parents too with anything we needed in that time and always keep us updated with a weekly newsletter on what is happening the following week in each room of the nursery. It really is a home away from home for our child and we couldn’t ask for more.

My daughter joined Woosehill Day Nursery in The Nest in May 2022 at 10 months old. She has settled so well and is always so excited to go inside. Her key worker has clearly built a strong relationship with her, but she also loves all the other staff too. She loves playing outside and has the opportunity to play with sand and water regularly. It’s lovely to see how happy she is and to see regular updates with photos as she learns new skills.

I have two sons who have been at Woosehill Day Nursery since January 2022. One in the Nest and one in the Meadows.
They have both grown in so many ways since they started; it’s wonderful to see how confident and happy they both are there. Each day they are excited to get to the nursery to play and interact with the other children and staff.
The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and their key workers have helped to set goals for both of them to challenge them and help them improve various skills.
They get a lot of time outside to play and sometimes explore the surrounding area on walks and activities.

The staff at Woosehill Day Nursery are amazing. Since the beginning of our journey, the staff put my mind at ease leaving my then 9 month old in their care to go back to work. My son loves going to nursery, has come on leaps and bounds in his development, and is genuinely loving attending nursery. I would recommend to anyone looking for a safe and encouraging environment to send their children.

Our son has been attending Woosehill Day Nursery since he was 10 months old upon my return to work. He has settled in so well and really enjoys his time there. The team are welcoming and nurturing, and they communicate really well with parents. We particularly love the ‘no bad weather, just bad clothes’ approach to letting the children play outside – this means he gets plenty of fresh air and can roam happily. The more structured activities set up by staff are also brilliant for his development, and it’s lovely to have updates on what he’s been doing via the app. We would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a ‘home from home’ environment for their child – while the building itself isn’t state of the art or ultra-modern, the wonderful staff and atmosphere they create cannot be faulted.
