September 10, 2024 at 6:08 amI was, like any first-time mum, dreading giving my kid to someone else to care for, but I can honestly say, after the first week I could not have been happier. They had a remarkable settling-in process which got myself and my daughter used to the transition and made me sense totally at ease. Their care and the adore they show my daughter is just incredible – from all the team. Their facilities are remarkable, very spotless, loads of different things for your kid to do and exceptional discovering tools. They share pictures of your kid and notes from the day so you know what they’ve been up to. And they help incorporate things from home into childcare centre life (such as dropping naps/potty training etc). My daughter is so cheerful there and I am so so pleased the manager set up this childcare centre. Thank you so much for looking after my little girl, like a home away from home. I could not rate Woodlea high enough, the childcare centre is remarkable!

September 11, 2024 at 6:22 pmAbsolutely spotlessly spotless but homely. The childcare centre team are consistently informative of the days activities. Adore the variety of freshly home cooked food. So glad I found Woodlea House Day Childcare centre & Pre-School for my girl. She has really come on leaps and bounds. Nothing but praise for this childcare centre.

December 24, 2024 at 8:09 pmBeing a shy kid that had never been without myself or Dad starting childcare centre was a challenge but the team were completely supportive and met him where he was making the transfer into the childcare centre as smooth as it could have been. He loves it there and has blossomed and become far more confident in the month they have been open. The team are consistently so attentive and attentive. Our lockdown baby (who’s not so much a baby anymore) started at Woodlea when it opened.

December 30, 2024 at 11:35 amThe team are excellent, my little one loves going in and they consistently offer a wide range of activities for the kids. I would highly suggest Woodlea and think they are doing a excellent job. The app is also excellent and we adore to see the updates each day. Sending your kid to a brand new childcare centre is consistently daunting when you have no feedback to read, no Ofsted report or any recommendation but honestly, I wouldn’t let this put you off.

January 6, 2025 at 8:51 amHe has settled in so quickly and loves being there.
The team have been so supportive when mummy has had a few moments. It can be difficult leaving your kid for the first time but I just knew straight away this nursey was special.
They have an on-site chef/nutritionist, how fab is that! It’s nice to see so many activities taking place and the outside space is remarkable!
I was impressed with the toilet facilities as they have a wet room where the kids are completely washed down should they have an accident – I hadn’t seen that anywhere else.
I sense my son is going to grow and develop as he is already showing this in his first 6 weeks.
Thank you, Woodlea. Our son started at Woodlea House in January 2022.

January 10, 2025 at 6:54 amAfter experiencing some unease with our previous childcare centre, we switched our son over to Woodlea House and he has been cheerful ever since. The team is incredibly welcoming and truly dedicated to providing the best possible care for your kid. Plus, they offer remarkable home-cooked meals prepared by on-site nutritionists that my son absolutely adores. Parents are kept in the loop with regular updates and plenty of photos through the app. We highly suggest Woodlea House for anyone seeking outstanding care. Woodlea House Day Childcare centre & Pre-School is a high-quality preschool that provides exceptional care!

February 13, 2025 at 2:50 pmMy kid consistently comes home having had excellent experiences and demonstrating new skills every week. I would thoroughly suggest it. Incredible childcare centre, consistently makes you a little nervous leaving your little one for the first time, but the team at Woodlea couldn’t have made it easier.

February 24, 2025 at 3:36 amThe kids learn really great life skills but at the same time, they can still be kids and have enjoyable without even realising what they are discovering.
The facilities are outstanding and the cleanliness is incredible.
No hesitation in recommending Woodlea, it is remarkable. Absolutely cannot fault this childcare centre/preschool, team are very welcoming and expert.
Drop off and pick up is very, very smooth!
Indigo Flynn
February 27, 2025 at 7:43 pmI put this down to the homely setting and the incredible team.
The facilities are exceptional, all-new toys, books, swings etc everything you could ask for is at Woodlea.
The app they use keeps us updated with the day including letting us know all food and snacks she eats…there is consistently a great variety of homemade food, she eats better at childcare centre than she does at home!
Our daughter will be there for the next three or so years and I am confident she will receive the best start in life.
Thank you, Woodlea. The best childcare centre in Bournemouth!
We visited a few nurseries before choosing Woodlea and even though it was still under construction and was to be a brand new childcare centre, we knew it was the one for us.
Our daughter started in January when the childcare centre first opened and settled in very quickly.

March 1, 2025 at 1:55 pmThe manager is approachable and genuinely cares about the kids and their families. The childcare centre team are welcoming, full of enthusiasm and it is clear that they adore their jobs and helping the kids develop.
They supply lovely home-cooked food and they have encouraged him to try new foods he hasn’t tried before, the outside area has been perfectly created for toddlers.
I adore that they update the app during the day with photos and food, nappy changes and naps. It’s such a relief to know that your kid is in the safest of hands whilst at work. I can’t fault this childcare centre – my son started when it first opened and I am so glad I changed his childcare centre to Woodlea House.

March 2, 2025 at 11:21 amThe team were so welcoming and made her sense comfortable in no time at all! She can’t wait for her days at childcare centre and is consistently so cheerful to go.
The facilities are incredible, the kids are consistently doing lovely activities and there is a real warmth and homely feeling.
After viewing many nurseries I chose Woodlea and I’m so pleased I did!
The on-site nutritionist makes a variety of meals that my daughter very much enjoys!
The team are so compassionate and welcoming – I sense very confident leaving my daughter in their capable hands. My daughter, two and a half, started at Woodlea in February.

March 14, 2025 at 2:09 pmAll the team are lovely and go above and beyond, the owner is so lovely, consistently supportive and is consistently there to assistance parents without any judgement! I can’t express enough how lovely this childcare centre is and the unconditional assistance they give. My son has been at Woodlea for nearly a year now, and his development has come on amazingly!
Phoenix Norris
March 21, 2025 at 2:41 pmWe adore the variety of food on the menu for our son and the never-ending activities offered to him.
Sometimes, he doesn’t want to leave! Woodlea House has provided our son with a secure, nurturing setting and we have seen him excel in his speech and playtime!
Marley Parker
March 23, 2025 at 7:14 amSince starting we have seen a huge leap in her and she loves being there, consistently cheerful to go, not consistently cheerful to leave! At the start I was told the aim was to be a home from home and a little childcare centre family, they have achieved that. When you walk in not only is the setting stunning and very spotless with a great range of activities offered, but the atmosphere is calm and inviting. The team are remarkable, you can see how much they care about the kids, nothing is too much trouble and they are so accommodating! They have an on-site chef/nutritionist, seeing the range of food offered is incredible, our daughter is having the opportunity to try new things all the time. Also, with us both working shifts the breakfast club is so handy (something we struggled to find). Can’t suggest Woodlea more! Our daughter started when the childcare centre opened, having come from a childminder it was important the setting has the right sense while allowing the opportunities for her to develop more and Woodlea has that!

April 2, 2025 at 10:53 pmThey have invested adore and care into my son and he has settled beautifully in such a short space of time. He is only 8 months old, 7 months when he first started, and he is already thriving. I see changes in his development every time I pick him up and he comes home cheerful and content. I sense at complete ease leaving him knowing he is being looked after just as I would want him to be. I can’t thank the owner and her team enough! Woodlea House is a lovely setting for my kid and the owner and her team are 5 stars!

April 7, 2025 at 9:15 amIn our opinion, the childcare centre is outstanding across all elements, it’s by far the best we have come across and believe me we have looked at a excellent deal of places. We are two miles from the childcare centre and do have places closer to home but nothing comes close to Woodlea House Day Childcare centre & Pre-School. The owners ooze passion and truly adore the childcare centre, team and kids. They put an enormous amount of time and effort into the site which you can clearly see – if you have the opportunity to send your kid here, grab it with both hands. The owner – thank you for everything, you have something to be proud of. First of all, I’m not surprised this childcare centre has been classified as one of the best in the South West for the second year running.
Hayden Bishop
April 14, 2025 at 1:24 pmThey create so many enjoyable activities for the kids and really put thought and effort into creating them. The facilities are excellent and the team are all lovely. The menu is consistently changing and they have some excellent options. Our son settled in really quickly and happily toddles in every day. We highly suggest Woodlea House, our son has been going there for seven months now and loves it.

May 11, 2025 at 8:04 pmWhen I went to look around it was in the process of being built. But when I walked through the door and had a conversation with the owner about the childcare centre and what they had to offer, I knew I wanted her to come here. I wanted somewhere that’s got a homely sense but also somewhere her development could thrive and I generally sense that this is the place for that. But I can honestly say I’m so cheerful that I chose to send her here, she comes out cheerful every single time which makes me cheerful.
The owner and all the team are so lovely and I sense like nothing is ever a problem.
Would definitely suggest this childcare centre. My daughter started with Woodlea House when it first opened in January, she’s never been to a childcare centre setting before so this was a first time journey for both me and my daughter.
Avery Reid
June 21, 2025 at 4:07 amLovely surroundings and the team are so attentive and loving. It feels like home the minute you walk through the door. My daughter goes to two sessions a week and her development improves each and every time she attends. Sense so lucky and grateful to be a part of the Woodlea House journey. Absolutely remarkable childcare centre.
