March 14, 2017 at 12:00 amUp until age 3, my son’s daycare was his grandparents. Needless to say the transition to a pre-school environment was difficult, however, Woodlands Day Nursery has been so supportive and within 2 months, he doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day! All of the staff are incredible and I cannot say how reassured I am of his safety and development whilst in their care. He had delayed speech and within 3 weeks his speech improved dramatically and is now just going from strength to strength – I would go as far as saying that this is mainly due to the environment at Woodlands.
Every child is supported to help meet their individual needs and at their own speed. It’s the little things the staff do that make the difference; providing regular catch up sessions and openly allowing parents to call if they need reassurance on how their child is – something in the early days that is priceless.
All in all, a fantastic place for our sons early development – in hindsight, I wish he had gone there earlier!

November 24, 2020 at 12:00 amI can’t express how impressed we are with Woodlands Day Nursery. After the first lockdown, our daughter was very shy and upset going back to nursery, but the staff were very patient and caring to ensure she settled back in. Now when I go to pick her up, I think she would rather stay at nursery! She always looks forward to it and she is always exhausted when she gets home after a day of learning and playing.

December 14, 2020 at 12:00 amI am so happy with the service and care provided by the team at Woodlands. I feel a lot of guilt having our son at nursery full time so I want to feel assured that the people looking after him are going to love him in our absence. The team at Woodlands are warm and friendly, and I can feel that they genuinely care about him. He learns so much while he’s there and gets more stimulation and development than we could provide at home.

January 15, 2021 at 12:00 amThe staff at Woodlands have been exceptional since we started in September. They have excellent communication between home and Nursery, are friendly and forthcoming and clearly love their job. The Nursery is always tidy and clean, spaces are reset frequently for children to explore and the curiosity approach allows autonomy and inquisitiveness to flourish in the children. My little one loves Nursery and all the girls in his room. We have been delighted with his progress and would highly recommend this as a safe, calm and welcoming place for your little ones.

The app is a very useful tool, and a great guide showing the development of your children.

July 7, 2021 at 12:00 amWe love Woodlands Day Nursery. Our child is thriving and absolutely loves going to nursery. Our little one has developed so much and loves playing with other children too which is mostly because of his time at nursery. The members of staff are extremely friendly, bubbly, and caring. We’re very happy to recommend the nursery to friends and family as we’ve only had very good experiences. We’re very happy.

July 7, 2021 at 12:00 amWe are so happy with the level of care and support the team has shown to our son. He loves every minute of his time at nursery. We have moved a lot over the past year so we’ve had quite a disruptive start but my son’s key worker has been amazingly caring and supportive to help settle him in. He is now very close to the staff members and talks about them all the time. I know he has a wonderful time every day and loves the fun and varied activities that are planned every day. As a parent, I enjoy the updates on the app, which always cheer me up at work whilst giving me confidence that my son is thriving at nursery. Thank you for all you do and the love you give to my boy.

July 9, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been very happy at Woodlands Day Nursery and her development has been amazing. She has made many friends and gets on well with all the staff. Management and the staff are always happy and flexible to meet your own needs. Communication is great and I feel that I get a real insight into what’s happening on a daily or weekly basis. I also love the curiosity approach they use for the development of the children – I think it’s really beneficial in those early years.

July 13, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my 2 and 3-year-old boys attend this nursery, so I currently have 1 in the toddler room and one in the pre-school room.
They are very different in their characters, the staff have brought the best out in them. They have helped them settle and grow whilst taking them as individuals.
It’s a lovely little nursery, in a nice convenient location with staff who genuinely love what they do.

August 19, 2021 at 12:00 amThe staff at Woodlands Day Nursery have been consistently friendly, caring and supportive to my children in the 2.5 years they have been there. I am confident in leaving them there knowing they are in good hands and every member of staff knows and cares for every child at the nursery. The activities they do are fun, imaginative and stimulating. My children come home happy and tired – with lots to talk about every day.

August 20, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter joined Woodlands Day Nursery after having been at a different nursery for a year. The settling-in period was managed really well and after only a week or so she was happily running in in the mornings. The observations are all recorded and shared very easily via the App and feel very well-informed on day-to-day activities. All the staff are lovely and we’re very happy!

August 27, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son absolutely loves attending nursery here. Since attending he has come on lots, development wise. Every time he attends he does a new activity. There is so much for him to do and learn there. The staff are lovely and kind. Overall really happy with Woodlands Day Nursery.

September 10, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has recently transitioned from the baby room to the toddler room, the experience has been so positive. Naturally, we have had some challenges with confidence and settling but the team have been incredibly understanding and patient. He has settled so well and not only loves nursery but also has learnt so much more with the variety of activities you do with him every day. You find creative ways to tie in with his passions (trains/cars).
I am also really happy with the variety of food offered as he can be fussy and rarely tried new things I prepare.

September 14, 2021 at 12:00 amAfter viewing several large nurseries we chose Woodlands Day Nursery and couldn’t be happier. My child is thriving there and loves to go in each day. The staff are great and I feel happy at drop-offs when my child greets them with smiles and cuddles. The nursery manager is the icing on the cake. She is so helpful and communicates with us brilliantly. If I have a worry or question she is never too busy. I like that Woodlands is a smaller setting, it feels more personal, a really lovely nursery.

October 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Woodlands now for 6 months and is always so excited to go to nursery. He settled into the baby room really well, after we were all made to feel so welcome – even with Covid restrictions in place. He has grown so much and developed so many new skills with the help of all the ladies there. It fills me with pride to see him happy and thriving in the nursery setting. I am so pleased that we chose Woodlands and thank the team for their support.

August 16, 2022 at 12:00 amWoodlands Day Nursery has been a fantastic nursery for our daughter. She has flourished academically, showing a real promise with reading, refining time motor skills and making a great group of friends. She is very happy at Woodlands, and that is a testament to the great learning environment you have created and the care, attention and support of the care workers at Woodlands. Thank you!

November 29, 2022 at 12:00 amWe are moving out of the area and have not found it easy to find a new nursery that we felt as comfortable with as we do yours. Woodlands was the only nursery we looked at for our daughter so we didn’t realise how good we had it. Thank you to the manager and the staff for all the help and for creating a warm, inviting, creative space with personality for our child to enjoy when she is with you.

July 26, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Woodlands Day Nursery for a year now and he has grown so much, in so many ways. His confidence and happiness while at Woodlands, is a joy to see. The ladies there are always so welcoming and I know he is safe and well cared for. The wide range of activities available, both indoors and outside are fantastic and keep him challenged and entertained. We love that we get regular updates through the app, which keeps us updated on how much food he’s eaten and naptimes. As well as showing the variety of food on the menu and the different activities they’ve completed. We are looking forward to his new adventure at Woodlands as he transitions to the toddler room.

August 16, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have had two children attend Woodlands Day Nursery over the past six years and have only good things to say. Our second child is in his final few weeks before starting school. The staff are excellent, and the children clearly enjoy their time there – and are always learning something new. Communication is just right. We regularly get photos and write-ups about what has happened during the day, which is useful to discuss at home. Thank you to everyone at Woodlands – we will miss you!

August 25, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 3 year old has been here just one month, after being at two other nurseries due to military moves. Woodlands have done more for him in one month than the other two combined! They are attentive, professional, and caring, doing all they can to help him settle and enjoy his time there. The staff are supporting him in his learning across the board and work closely with us as parents to ensure he has the best experience.
