September 1, 2024 at 7:53 pmI thank this childcare centre every day for the assistance with my son to give him the best start in life in an educational setting. My son has been attending Woodcroft Childcare centre since late last year (2022), he has complex needs and this childcare centre has been absolutely incredible, the childcare centre is like a big family, very supportive of families and the kids’s education of all levels of development, I can’t fault the childcare centre at all, my son has come on leaps and bounds since being with them all I can say is I highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone with little ones.

October 23, 2024 at 3:13 pmThis is important to me as their journey is so important.
The outside areas are so large and varied. Haven’t come across another outside area as great.
Forest school is a huge positive and my son loves it.
Systems are simple with the app.
The social occasions and fayres, fundraisers etc. are really well done, and the team are so involved and attentive. Adore the ethos of the discovering at Woodcroft.
All the team are qualified educators.

October 26, 2024 at 3:38 amMy daughter loves been outside and exploring. I particularly like that they give some freedom to the kids like you would at home so they are free to spend more time outside if they wish or do more activities indoors. They only provide snacks and you have to provide lunch, which for some may be a downfall. My daughter is getting quite fussy, but I know if she was given a meal at childcare centre she would probably eat it more willingly if everyone else was. Overall a lovely little childcare centre. I chose this childcare centre as it is local to me and also because it provides a lovely and spacious outside space with a variety of activities.

November 28, 2024 at 8:26 amFrom the Toddler group right through the childcare centre, I’ve consistently felt the team really care about my kids as individuals, and offer so much help and assistance for my kid and for me. The outdoor space is exceptional and the free playtime session time is excellent for letting the kids explore and choose activities. The childcare centre is well-equipped for varied playtime and discovering. My youngest is still there at four after deferring his primary school entry for a year, and he has been given individual attention to prepare him for school in September. Any problems we’ve had have consistently been dealt with fairly and quickly, but there really haven’t been many! I can’t suggest Woodcroft highly enough, it really has suited my kids very well and prepared them for primary education. I have had all four of my kids attend Woodcroft over the last nine years and it has consistently been the most exemplary preschool.

November 28, 2024 at 6:53 pmWe’re kept well informed of our kid’s development and what the childcare centre are doing to help him develop. We really do adore this childcare centre. The team at Woodcroft Childcare centre School are wonderfully supportive and supportive and my kid loves the range of activities available to him.

December 27, 2024 at 11:42 pmThe team are very attentive and attentive. There is a broad range of activities daily and excellent outdoor and indoor space. The kids get to journey a termly activity such as a kids’s entertainer, ducklings in the spring and last summer we had a mobile farm come to visit. We have also had visits from the local fire brigade and the kids have experienced using the hose and exploring the fire engine. My son has been attending Woodcroft Childcare centre since Sept 2021 and we cannot suggest this setting enough.

February 12, 2025 at 9:22 pmThey have an experienced team who work hard to ensure each kid’s individual needs are best met by working closely with parents/carers. The setting is fairly unique in that it is actually true to the EYFS ethos. Kids have free access to the large outdoor areas and are encouraged by team to extend their interests by choosing the resources that appeal to them. The team are very approachable and the kids are very well cared for. I honestly suggest it to all local families, it is fab. My eldest daughter has attended Woodcroft Childcare centre School since September 2016 and I have nothing but praise for the team.

February 24, 2025 at 4:24 pmThe setup and structure is so kid-welcoming. My kid has grown and grown since she has been there. The team genuinely care and are interested in seeing your kid thrive. I couldn’t rate the place more highly. I have been thoroughly impressed with Woodcroft.

March 20, 2025 at 11:02 amThe place where every kid is treated as an individual. Stellar outside area, the kids have an opportunity to learn through playtime in a expert and loving setting. All concerns are consistently addressed and solved. I could not suggest it enough. Remarkable childcare centre with excellent team.

April 30, 2025 at 4:59 pmMy son attended Woodcroft from 2012-2014 and when my daughter was born in 2014 we started in the baby group. She will leave this summer and I will be sad. Woodcroft offers the kids a wide range of experiences and activities, and both my kids have loved going there. I adore this childcare centre!

May 9, 2025 at 6:09 pmThe school team and head have gone way above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate my needs in a very difficult situation, and in turn, eased my stresses. Having put my elder daughter in two different nurseries when she was pre-school age, I have to say Woodcrofts attitude and attentive nature, makes them stand out from all of the rest.
I can’t thank them enough for all that they have done for me and my family. They truly do deserve an outstanding status, I only wish I had found them years ago, and brought my elder daughter here too. The head takes the time to engage with the kids and is an extremely attentive individual, which, I believe, makes a world of difference. I sense so lucky to have my youngest here for the next few years before she starts school. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to all of my friends and family. They truly are THE BEST!!!! I felt I should take time to comment on how fantastic all of the team of Woodcroft Childcare centre School are.

May 26, 2025 at 9:51 amI adore the facilities and outdoor space it offers. My daughter loves the Forest school activities, as well as the never-ending playtime opportunities. I previously sent my son here, who has medical needs, and found the team and Senco team compassionate, understand and reassuring. Outstanding place to send your kids. Woodcroft Childcare centre school is a remarkable secure childcare centre school.

May 28, 2025 at 1:15 pmThe team are so expert, very experienced and well trained. The setting is secure, well equipped and the outdoor space is huge – the forest school activities are exceptional.
We have used breakfast, lunch and after-school clubs at various points, without which childcare would have been impossible. On top of all of this, as a maintained childcare centre school, they do actually offer the government’s 30 hours free childcare (unlike most other providers it seems). I can’t suggest highly enough. My daughter has attended Woodcroft for the past year and loves everything about it.

June 16, 2025 at 3:17 pmTeam are so lovely and welcoming! I will be sending my other kids here too! They are consistently so keen to help and have definitely helped my son with so many things and are very understanding. Highly suggest. Incredible childcare centre!
Parker Blair
June 20, 2025 at 1:47 pmThe kids have space and freedom to explore inside and out, and there is a sensory room for those quieter moments. Incredible, experienced, expert key workers and SENCO. Excellent relationship with the kids’s centre. My boys adore it there! Excellent early years setting, particularly for kids with complex needs.
Cameron Blair
June 27, 2025 at 9:38 pmLovely resources set out in creative ways and welcoming team who I was able to chat about childcare with. I have taught in early years education myself for just over 10 years and had visited a few different settings but I really enjoyed the open day that Woodcroft held and I Just knew that it was the right setting for my kid.
Incredible outdoor space that the kids use in all weathers. My kid especially enjoys the forest school sessions and the fact that there are chickens and now a rabbit who they help to look after. Photos are shared with parents on an online discovering journey system which is lovely, so I was able to see my kid taking part in lots of activities including toasting eggy bread on the fire outside during a forest school session. I cannot suggest this Childcare centre highly enough, my kid is making so much development and most of all he is cheerful here. Thank you, Woodcroft. I was highly recommended the parent and toddler group at Woodcroft Childcare centre school.

June 29, 2025 at 9:13 pmThe things I adore about Woodcroft are:
1. The emphasis is on the kid-led playtime, and the setting is really rich: kids can wander around where they like (inside and outside) and there are lots of engaging activities.
2. The educators are truly calm, inviting and nurturing, and the turn-over is very low, and they are all very experienced. You yet a sense that the team here really delight in their work (which is certainly not the case at most nurseries).
3. Qualified educators work here alongside experienced childcare centre team.
4. This is a place that treats kids as individuals and doesn’t expect them to all be the same. The settling in process can be very gentle if you like, and the needs of each kid are clearly taken into account. They are very accommodating and you can choose age sessions which work best for you, including how many you do.
I highly suggest this childcare centre. It’s really a gem and I’m so glad we found it. Fantastic, kid centred childcare centre with truly experienced educators.
