September 5, 2019 at 12:00 amInwood Day Nursery is set in a quiet, rural location and run by a very friendly and approachable team. The atmosphere is very laid back and homely which was perfect for our son when settling in. The manager and her staff are very proactive and genuinely interested in the children and their individual learning styles. My son (who was a bit of a late starter to nursery at around 19/20 months) has developed massively with the patient approach he received from staff at Inwood – and now he barely gives me a second look when he goes rushing in for his nursery days!

September 6, 2019 at 12:00 amInwood Nursery and Preschool is a fantastic setting for babies and children, ours have been with Inwood since 2014. We live 15 minutes away and even when our oldest started school, we knew we wouldn’t even consider moving them because we are very happy with everything that Inwood’s team do to support the children and their sizeable outside spaces that are used as often as possible.
Our children have always received excellent care and attention from the owner, nursery manager and the team. If ours have required reassurance, positive reinforcement or a particular focus, the team have adapted as needed. We are impressed by the ability to constantly be looking for new and interesting things for the children to try.
We like that meals are cooked fresh on the premises, with menus changed regularly to provide a variety of food for the children to try and enjoy. They take care with allergens and particular dietary requirements.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Inwood Nursery and Preschool.

October 10, 2019 at 12:00 amOur son started at Inwood when he was 9 months old. The settling in process was great and made me feel really at ease leaving him when I had to return to work. Staff have always been friendly and approachable and are always there to give advice when I need it! They’ve answered any questions I’ve had from weaning to sleeping. As parents, we feel really informed about our son’s learning at Inwood and feel he gains so much from spending time there. We also find the flexibility of hours to have been a great help over the past few months. We would highly recommend Inwood to anyone looking for childcare for their young children.

December 20, 2019 at 12:00 amHonestly, it is impossible to put into words how happy my son is at Inwood Nursery. The activities are wonderful. Inwood makes an effort to notice what each child is interested in and creates activities, stories and crafts around those interests. The staff are remarkable, each one is caring, nurturing and supportive of each child. We could not have found a better nursery for our son. Inwood has given him the confidence and security to grow in so many ways. I honestly think he feels Inwood is a second home.

January 27, 2020 at 12:00 amIf you’re looking for a nursery for your child then look no further Inwood is brilliant! My son was very worried and cried when I first left him at nursery which I found hard, but the staff were amazing with him and they gave me the reassurance I needed too! Now he can’t wait to get to nursery! He talks about the members of staff like he talks about our own family he’s made lots of friends and has become a confident little boy.
I’ve found Inwood to be a lot more flexible with nursery hours than other nurseries which is really helpful too.
The food is fresh and really good and my son loves staying for lunch.

February 8, 2020 at 12:00 amInwood Nursery is a loving, caring and intimate setting for my son to enter. The staff all know him well and make him feel at home. It helps with the classic ‘working mum guilt’ to know he is in a safe place, which is lots of fun. I love the mix of adult-led and child-led activities and the fact that life skills are provided throughout the day. My son loves to be outdoors and the rural setting and large outdoor area are perfect. Keep up the good work Inwood.

February 11, 2020 at 12:00 amOur 11-month-old has been attending this nursery for nearly 3 months now and she genuinely looks happy to be there. The smallish in size nursery is located in a rural setting and allows for a good staff to child ration. We were allocated a lovely key worker who always updates us daily on how our daughter has been that day. what she has eaten and how much her naptimes and lengths are etc.

March 3, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been attending for five months and she consistently comes home happy. Our keyworker has been extremely attentive both to our daughter and to us – which as nervous first-time parents is invaluable. She has built an excellent relationship with our child and we believe she receives the best care possible. The rest of the staff are friendly and equally capable and our daughter is always happy to see them.
Through the range of activities and learning plans, we have seen our daughter progress rapidly and the nursery is invested in synchronising her development with the interests and activities she enjoys at home. They have been very accommodating in terms of our specific routine (ie. sleep) and have efficiently catered for a vegetarian child, by adapting their regular menu so she is eating the same meals as her friends. The facilities are superb both inside and out with a range of apparatus for play in a safe environment.

August 10, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth our girls have a great time at Inwood.
The staff support them in everything they do and seem to get the balance between fun, education and discipline just right. Without exception they communicate well with us as parents and with all the kids. They do a great job and manage to enjoy themselves at the same time, which sets a great example. We couldn’t recommend the place more!

August 27, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son has a great time at nursery. He sometimes has a hard time adjusting to nursery in the mornings, but the staff are extremely attentive and within moments he is at ease. The staff send a note home every day saying what he ate, how he slept etc. And then periodically, your child becomes the focus child for the week where you fill in a form asking the staff to help develop speaking or other skills. Our son’s speaking has developed really well since being at Inwood as well as his social skills. The staff are always helpful with changing days if plans change for the week.
The facilities are really nice and there is a large outdoor play area, with sheltered parts for the sunny or rainy days, with mud kitchens, water play and garden games etc.
We would recommend anyone to send their child to Inwood, and hope that our son stays for a long while.

January 25, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son absolutely loves Inwood Nursery! The director and the girls create a real family vibe as opposed to just another childcare business. All the children’s food is made on-site by their very own cook rather than having meals sent in, so it is great to know my child is eating fresh food every time he attends nursery. My son has really progressed since being there and I am very pleased that we found Inwood. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a truly caring and friendly setting for your child.

February 18, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son first started at Inwood Nursery aged 6 months. At nearly 3 years old I could not imagine him going anywhere else. The staffs care and attention to detail is second to none and it does not feel like he is just another number on their books, as it might in a bigger nursery.
The food is freshly cooked daily by their on-site cook meaning they can cater to all dietary needs. The children play outside every day (regardless of weather) and have multiple indoor experiences to enjoy. I could not recommend this nursery more highly!

March 2, 2021 at 12:00 amThe manager and the team are fantastic and are so passionate about providing outstanding childcare. I have two daughters at the setting, my eldest has been there for nearly 3 years and my youngest has been there for for 6 months. Both of my daughters love the staff and have developed so much through the variety of activities that Inwood puts on. The outside area is fantastic and the inside area is well equipped with different zones. The menu for the food is changed regularly and is home-cooked and healthy. The staff are very experienced and knowledgeable about early years learning and development. In fact, a teacher at the local primary school has said that you can tell an Inwood child from other settings as they are so much further along with their development. The manager has also been incredibly flexible with our changing childcare requirements, especially because of COVID. I would highly recommend. Well done to the manger and the team!

March 11, 2021 at 12:00 amInwood Nursery is like a home from home, our daughter started at 9 months old, now just over a year old, she goes in each morning with a smile. The staff team are friendly and approachable, with lots of daily activities and the outside areas amazing. Inwood nursey offer a busy working family the perfect environment for our daughter to grow in confidence and experience the world around her. I leave her each morning knowing she’s going to have a brilliant day!

September 5, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son started nursery in Inwood just a few months ago. Since then we have noticed a vast improvement in his developmental learning and interaction skills.
The staff at the nursery are wonderful. Always generally interested in each child, how they learn and how best to communicate with them. All information is transferred back to the parents and we have no problem seeing our son go far with Inwood.

September 17, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Inwood for 2 years and has absolutely thrived. Being a smaller nursery it is so personal, the keyworkers love their jobs and really offer the children at Inwood a place to learn and try new things, play and also gain simple life skills which will prepare them for school. My daughter has become more confident in herself and her own abilities since being at Inwood. My son has just started in the baby room and he is already thriving there having started at 9 months old.

September 22, 2021 at 12:00 amExcellent care, support and learning is provided at Inwood. The staff are warm and welcoming. My daughter always comes home happy have tried lots of activities. I feel she is safe and secure in a healthy environment.

February 11, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has just finished his first year at Inwood in the baby room. The baby team have been fantastic and he has thoroughly enjoyed his time there and built brilliant relationships with everyone. When he started aged 1, we were 6 months into weaning with no success and through the team’s effort and encouragement they got him eating alongside his peers. His development over the year has been amazing and the baby team have been a big part of this. This week he started his transition to the older room and it has gone so smoothly thanks to the warm and welcoming staff. We look forward to seeing how he continues to develop in the new environment. Overall our experience with the nursery has been excellent so far and we have so much confidence in the care he receives so highly recommend!

November 22, 2022 at 12:00 amWhere do I begin, Inwood Nursery is an absolutely wonderful environment. As soon as my husband and I walked through the gate and were shown around by the owner we knew it was where we wanted our son and daughter to attend. All the members of staff are attentive and friendly and you can tell instantly how passionate they all are about what they do. Our son and daughter love being there and are always excited to be going to nursery in the morning, which says it all!
