Woodberry Day Nursery (Winchmore Hill)

Our son has just left the Woodberry Preschool room, and we have nothing but praise for the experience we had at Woodberry. Our son was there just over a year, in the preschool room, and had a great experience. The staff are caring and fun, and create a lovely environment for the kids to firstly enjoy themselves and secondly do a bit of learning. The activities and facilities are great, with lots of variety, and the feedback on the kids was thorough and well done. In a difficult year (COVID), the nursery provided excellent care, and we were fully confident in their ability to set in place the necessary policies to protect the staff and the children as best they could. And we also found them very understanding of our change of circumstances and needs for our son’s care. In short, we’re on the waiting list for the preschool room for our younger son, and we would thoroughly recommend it to anyone else as well.

As our son was born just before UK lockdown in March his interaction with other babies/adults has been limited. We were nervous about him joining nursery but Woodberry have been very patient and understanding in helping him to settle.

We completed a comprehensive form in advance with all of our son’s preferences. On the day of his first settle session, the nursery manager took the time to answer a long list of questions I had (it had been a little while since our visit). We met his key worker in the caterpillar room who after each settle session and his first week took the time to give us a thorough update on how he was doing/what he was eating and drinking.

He seems so happy, within a short space of time we can see how settled he is. Many members of the team took time to introduce themselves to us in the first couple of weeks. The nursery have been great in sending regular photo updates, which has given us great comfort in seeing him happy and doing new things.

Our daughter has been attending Woodberry since she was 11 months (She’s now 3) and is very happy there. We get daily feedback and photos via the app (which we can also use to share our own updates/photos with the nursery). The staff are all lovely and I have complete peace of mind that she is safe and well cared for during the day. They’ve also been great in assisting with things like potty training. There is a wide range of daily activities which are both fun and educational and the meals are all nutritionally balanced. I can’t recommend Woodberry highly enough and my son is already on the waitlist to attend when he is older.

My daughter came to Woodberry after lots of struggles with her previous nursery. After starting with Woodberry I could see the change in her immediately, I could see a nice and smooth journey at Woodberry till the time when she happily goes to her nursery every day. It was a very challenging process for us to take her to a nursery, because of her not having a pleasant experience at her previous nursery. I could not appreciate more the professionalism of Woodberry’s staff to make this process much easier for us. My daughter absolutely loves her teachers at Woodberry now and every day she learns something new. I cannot recommend Woodberry highly enough and I am so happy for my daughter to have this safe and creative environment.

In normal circumstances, they would get 5/5, but in the teeth of a pandemic for the last two years, they have done an amazing job to keep the children happy and safe. This would be our first choice of the nursery if we had to find one again.

I have had three children attend Woodberry who have all loved it! I have always felt reassured that my children are safe and well looked after at all times. Woodberry provides a caring and nurturing environment for my children to play, learn and interact with other children of the same age.

I have two children at Woodberry Day Nursery at the moment – my eldest has attended since 2019 and is about to depart for primary school. I could not recommend Woodberry enough as a fantastic choice of nursery for anyone with babies and toddlers. The staff are what makes the nursery – they are amazing, caring and nurturing. Education is a really high priority but most importantly of all, both my children love going there. The environment is safe, encouraging and fun. The food is great and very varied. Every day parents receive clear feedback from the staff and regular updates via an app. Brilliant nursery and amazing keyworkers.

Woodberry Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery setting which we have been with since 2017. My eldest daughter went on to primary school fully equipped for the journey ahead. My youngest daughter will soon follow and I am confident Woodberry will do all they can to continue to nurture, support and guide her. We will miss Woodberry very much when the time comes to leave. You have been amazing!

I am so pleased with the care our son receives at Woodberry. The staff are so kind, nurturing and friendly towards both him and us. The key workers in the room go above and beyond to ensure he is well looked after and all of his needs are met. They are excellent at communicating. Thank you to all the staff.

We joined in January having recently moved to the area. We have been so impressed with the nursery that we’ve upped our son’s days and also enrolled our young daughter too. Brilliant staff, excellent facilities and a really great place for children to attend.
I highly, highly recommend.
