Scotts Wood Day Nursery

We cannot fault Scotts Wood Day Nursery. Both our sons attend (eldest since 2017 and youngest since 2020). Both absolutely love attending nursery and have developed deep bonds with the staff that work there.

When we were looking for nurseries, Scotts Wood stood out as the staff were so warm and friendly, yet it was clear to see that their professionalism and expertise would also provide a great early start to young children’s development. Our main priority was that our children would feel happy and safe when placed into childcare, and there is a genuine affection and care for the children from the staff, which we really appreciate; it is like a home away from home for them.

They also provide lovely meals and have a wide range of activities, which they document on an online platform very regularly. We get extensive reports on their development and communication is great, which we have been very grateful for during the pandemic.

We feel very fortunate to have found such a great nursery!

Scotts Wood has been a fantastic nursery for my 4-year-old. He has attended since he was 1 and now is about to start school. From the beginning, they have always been so friendly, welcoming and provided such a safe and comfortable environment for my son, and made me as a parent, feel at ease. Towards the end of his time at the nursery before starting school, the preschool room has helped with the transition really well. They have provided books for him to read at home, they learn about a wide variety of topics such as different countries, the Olympics and even learning sign language, which my son has loved. They get an introduction to numbers and phonics, which has really helped as preparation for school. My younger son, who is 18-months, also attends the nursery, and I couldn’t recommend it enough to others.

Our son attended Scotts Wood full time from 10-months-old and absolutely loved it. Right from the first visit, we got such a great feel for the nursery; the atmosphere is warm and caring, and the staff are dedicated to knowing each child really well to make them feel at home and to effectively support their learning and development. The pre-school room did a fantastic job of getting our son ready for the transition to school, helping him understand what to expect on a practical level as well as making sure he was used to the style of learning. He leaves excited to take the next step but is going to miss the lovely people he has spent the last three and a half years with, as will we! We would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking for childcare in the area.

Scotts Wood, from the outset, really impressed us with their learning environment, incredible staff and attentiveness. So far, we (and our currently 1-year-old daughter) have enjoyed being a part of the family and hope to continue progressing through the classes!

Our two boys love going to Scotts Wood. The staff are friendly and capable, and the boys are very fond of them. They always eat well and come back full of stories and tired from all the activity. The updates we get on the app are helpful and interesting as well.

We’ve been part of Scotts Wood Day Nursery for 7 years as both of our children have gone through the nursery from baby room to preschool – the youngest has just left. They have been fantastic. The children have been so happy there and so well looked after – would definitely recommend it to other parents. There are some really great staff who have gone above and beyond to get to know and understand our children and make nursery the happiest place for them and we are so grateful for such a positive start to their education. The nursery is well organised and friendly with great facilities which are always being added to and refreshed. The children’s learning is considered in every activity and updates through the EyLog app kept us in the loop, and as parents, we always felt able to share our concerns and felt listened to. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks, Scotts Wood!

Our son started at Scotts Wood when he was 1 year old. As he was born during the pandemic, we were apprehensive about putting him into a childcare setting. However, everyone at Scotts Wood made it so easy for us. Every single member of staff is friendly, caring and personable. We always felt our son was absolutely safe and well looked after during his time there.
After about 6 months, our son developed separation anxiety affected nursery drop-off; very stressful for all of us, but the manager and our son’s key workers worked closely with us to work through these difficulties, and they truly cared about our son having a settled and enjoyable time at nursery. This meant an awful lot to us.
We are a same-sex family, and our diversity was respected, appreciated and welcomed, which was wonderful.
The nursery itself is well equipped, clean and has a lovely set-up. We are so sad to leave and can’t recommend highly enough.

Our daughter has been attending Scotts Wood Day Nursery for over a year now. From when she first started at 8 months old, the staff and environment made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and our daughter settled in straight away. We are always impressed with the activities they do and how engaged the staff are with the children. They are all really professional but also very caring and really just feel like extended family and have a real investment in how well the children are doing. It is an excellent day nursery, and we would recommend it.

Our daughter started at Scott’s Wood in January, and she has settled in so well, and that’s all down to the nursery. The staff in the baby room are wonderful; they clearly love what they do, and they go above and beyond. The nursery is well run with great communication and safeguarding too.

Highly recommend! My child has been attending the nursery for half a year, and they have absolutely loved it. The staff are incredibly caring and nurturing, and they have created a warm and welcoming environment where children can feel safe and secure. My child has made so many new friends at nursery, and they have learned so much. The staff have tailored their teaching to their individual needs, and they have helped them to develop their social, emotional, and academic skills. I am so grateful for the care and attention that the staff at Scotts Wood Day Nursery have given my child. The staff are incredibly dedicated and passionate about their work. They have made a real difference in their life.
