    The team are remarkable and consistently welcome him with a big smile. He absolutely loves the garden which is what drew us to this particular setting. It consistently feels like home from home.
    The food is incredible, he eats better than we do! Such a great varied menu, that gives kids the opportunity to try new and fantastic flavours. My little boy loves coming here every day.

    My daughter has excelled with her growing self‑assurance since attending the setting and now can’t wait to go in and see her favourite educators.
    My only small feedback is that sometimes the menu is far too ambitious for such small kids and often my daughter goes all day eating very little.

    The updates from the rooms are remarkable and the varied menu and group eating takes away the stress of providing a varied meal at the end of the day every day and we couldn’t ask for more. An absolutely incredible setting.
    Every day our son comes home excited to tell me about his time with his key worker and friends.
    His development has been outstanding and his ability to process his feelings and discuss with the setting adults is lovely to see.
    A special thank you consistently to his key worker, our son adores her so much and if we are ever, on a rare day having trouble getting him away from his toys and out the door, a mention of her and he excitedly runs for the door.

    She comes home every day exhausted! The childcare centre sends me a notification with photos showing me what my daughter has been up to during the day, which is excellent! She has a huge variety of food and will now eat absolutely anything! The team are very attentive and will help out however they can! My daughter attends this childcare centre and loves it!

    The team have clearly made him sense secure and cheerful. They have a exceptional range of toys (indoor and outdoor). They have helped my son to eat a wider range of food than he would ever entertain at home in a short amount of time and he’s got so much more self‑assurance around other kids.
    The team are consistently really supportive and lovely, could not fault them in any way. My son has settled in so quickly and easily at Woodberry.

    He adores going every day, I would suggest to anyone. Very engaging activities each day and promotes social understanding. We will be sending our next one along too. Remarkable team, my kid is loved and cared for.

    Since day one, the childcare centre team has been supportive and expert; after a few warming-up sessions with our baby, a key worker was assigned to take care of her for the first months so that she can form a special relationship and sense secure. Through the months the team helped her develop into a confident and loving kid who is excited to go to playtime with her friends and learn new skills. The childcare centre’s meal plan (varied, healthy and cooked on-site) and setting (homely and spotless) were the key factors to choosing that setting. The range of activities for the kids is impressive and focused on exploration and natural stimulation. We are very cheerful with the professionalism and care of Woodberry’s team especially given the challenges related to Covid-19 and thankful to the whole team for their hard work, guidance and genuine affection towards our kid. Our daughter has been attending Woodberry Sholing Childcare centre for almost a year now, she was 11-months-old when she started.

    Our daughter’s speech was delayed due to lockdowns and shielding. As soon as she started at childcare centre she came on leaps and bounds in all areas and has since been discharged from speech therapy as the therapist says she is exactly where she needs to be for her age now. We can’t thank the childcare centre team enough for this.
    We sense the way Covid has been handled at the setting has been reassuring and updates around this has been very clear at all times. Both our son and daughter have and do attend Woodberry and we could not be happier with how team have nurtured their development and shown genuine care for us as a family.

    The team consistently give us a supportive update on our daughter’s day and the use of the app keeps us informed of her nutrition. The team take a genuine interest in our daughter’s needs and likes/dislikes, which gives us excellent peace of mind and means she looks forward to her days here! It also makes us comfortable knowing there are clear channels to communicate with the team and management if we ever need to speak to them. Thanks to the team at Woodberry Day Childcare centre, we have been seeing improvements in the way that our daughter interacts with others, communicates and likes to get involved with being creative and supportive at home.

    My eldest is getting more and more independent and communicating brilliantly since being at childcare centre. They both absolutely adore it here and look forward to seeing friends and educators. They are very well looked after here and I adore that they eat such a variety as well with lots of healthy foods.
    All the team deserve a massive round of applause for what they do. Thank you, Woodberry Sholing! Both my boys have come such a long way.

    We are extremely proud of what he has become – an independent, confident and compassionate young man. His overall development has been fantastic, including his self-feeding, self-hygiene and social skills. All credits go to the team of Woodberry Day Childcare centre for their learnings, activities and motivation. The key worker kept us informed about his development through the childcare centre app which was very useful, especially on his daily meal update.
    We are ever so grateful for the comforts, smiles, cuddles and bonds shared with our son. He will be starting his new school journey soon and surely, will miss you all. As parents, we appreciate all your hard work and we would like to express a heartfelt thank you to each one of you at Woodberry. Our son started childcare centre at 2.5 years.

    He is excited to go to childcare centre every single day and see his friends and the team members in the grasshopper room. He consistently talks to us about what he is going to playtime with and shares his experiences of his day when he gets home which is lovely to hear. He enjoys a wide range of different healthy balanced meals which has helped with his eating at home. The team are exceptional and so attentive and have helped his self‑assurance grow and encouraged his discovering. We can’t thank them enough for everything they do for our son. My son has attended Woodberry since he was 7 months old and has just turned 3.

    She’s now been with them for 7 months and has excelled, she’s hitting milestones much earlier, she’s so chatty when she gets home after childcare centre and has often cried when she’s got to leave. Would definitely suggest. Caterpillar room team are excellent. My daughter started at such a young age and it was scary at first leaving my baby and there was definitely a month of us both (mainly me) getting used to it but at Woodberry they have been exceptional at keeping me reassured and have been incredible at communicating with me.

    They have a lovely garden with loads of outdoor enjoyable. As a mother, I felt listened to by the team and my son says that they are ‘very compassionate’ and ‘really very cheerful’. They identify specific interests which the kid has and encourage them to follow their interests. I’m so grateful for the observations which they make on each kid on their app, which makes us sense that they are treated as individuals. To the team at Woodberry, thank you loads for your hard work. Lovely place where team go above and beyond to assistance kids in their care.

    They have loads of journey and skills in how to develop and take care of kids from a very young age. We really appreciate their hard work and many thanks to them for what they’re doing every day. My daughter and I adore this childcare centre, the team and management are consistently supportive and compassionate.

    We were able to view the setting in a secure manner and talk to his key person about his needs.
    Throughout the time he has been there, we have received regular updates on his activities via the app, including Early Years Foundation Stage observations and photos. The app has also allowed us to keep up to date with changing regulations, update any of our own changes as necessary and interact with the team and other parents to an extent.
    Implementations such as a virtual doorbell and masks at the door have helped us sense secure and while we have a quick update at handover, we’re given opportunities to meet with the setting should we desire.
    Our son is cheerful and healthy here and his development is noticeable.
    Thank you, Woodberry. My son has been with Woodberry Day Childcare centre – Sholing since October 2020.
    When we started, the team were extremely accommodating given the status of the pandemic at the time.

    they plant veg in their growth patch; a chef cooks the meals). But I would not suggest it to other parents, largely because of the poor management and updates with parents. A few days after my daughter started at this childcare centre, the manager called me about a skin infection she had at the time, grilling me with questions in a very aggressive and unnecessarily rude manner. The next time I interacted with the person about cold weather clothing (the kids were outdoors with no coats or shoes on in Feb), the manager was equally as confrontational. The “graduation” party for pre-schoolers was another example of poor organization and updates. The “ceremony” consisted of 10 minutes of singing and being handed a diploma. And yet we were asked to come 3 hours before the ceremony and had to wait around with no food or any organized activities on a rainy day. Most of the team is lovely and they have some interesting routines (e.g.

    He gets to do so many activities and he loves the team and other kids so much. He eats better than I do when he’s there! We get loads of updates every time he’s at childcare centre and that helps with him being away all day. My son absolutely adores his time at childcare centre.

    Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do. You’re fantastic. We have been using Woodberry Day Childcare centre since January 2020 and I am so thankful for all the help the team have given us.
    We now have our youngest there, she has been there since June 2022.
    The team are consistently so compassionate to our girls but also so lovely to us.
    Woodberry is such a lovely childcare centre.

    The team are incredible – so creative and compassionate and understanding. I honestly could not suggest this childcare centre enough, if you are looking for a place for your little one that encourages development at every turn while ensuring the kids are taken care of to the highest standard, then this is the place! My son joined this fantastic childcare centre in January 2022 and he has loved it all!
