September 20, 2024 at 3:51 pmShe loved it from day one. She was a very cheerful and confident kid at the childcare centre, having a excellent relationship with her main carer and other team and the management team. I am very grateful to the management team and the team at the childcare centre. They definitely went above and beyond supporting our family and our daughter. I can not thank them enough.
It was incredible to receive detailed updates and pictures about my daughter and her day from the website and during the pick-ups. I have received lots of supportive advice from the management and the team during the last one and a half years.
Woodlands Day Childcare centre was definitely my daughter’s second home where she felt secure and loved and she developed beautifully under your care. You are simply superheroes. Thank you so much for everything. My daughter started Woodland childcare centre at age two and a half years old.

September 23, 2024 at 12:53 pmHe looks forward to his days there and talks about what he has done and the team all the time at home. He has been telling me about his trips to forest school that he has recently enjoyed them. I would definitely suggest Woodlands. My little boy thoroughly enjoys his days there. My son had never been to any setting before and settled really well at Woodlands, thanks to the lovely, welcoming team and manager.

October 2, 2024 at 9:50 amOne of them is currently. Both were cheerful, looked forward to attending and learnt so much from their time spent there. All the team are remarkable. I sense they are enthusiastic and provide the kids with stimulation and encouragement. They are all attentive and considerate and my grandchildren have spoken about them at home. There are lots of activities going on within the childcare centre for the kids to engage in, both indoor and outdoors. It’s spotlessly spotless and healthy nutritious food is provided also. All the team are absolutely incredible including the manager who is very supportive with the behind-the-scenes running of the place. Nothing is too small to approach any of the team with. Two of my grandchildren have attended this childcare centre.

October 9, 2024 at 11:37 pmThe team are extremely attentive and expert. They go above and beyond to provide the kids with such a high level of care and attention. My girls left with so many cheerful memories and self‑assurance. Self‑assurance that even their reception educators would praise them for.
Everything from the organisation of kids’s activities, to hygiene and food, has honestly exceeded my expectations. Thank you to the fabulous team of remarkable people at Woodlands childcare centre that leave me at ease when my kids are with them. They even soldiered on the entire time during the covid pandemic to stay open for parents that had to work with the utmost safety and professionalism. True heroes! I don’t think I could be happier with any other team to look after my girls.

November 17, 2024 at 8:29 pmWe are extremely cheerful with the care she receives. The team are all so attentive and thoughtful and are consistently looking to introduce new activities that are tailored to our daughter’s interests. The team were particularly exceptional (and continue to be) in their handling of the ever-changing circumstances around Covid. Our daughter has been going to this childcare centre for over 2 years now.

February 3, 2025 at 5:48 amThey are so welcoming, interested, attentive and really approachable.
They do so many excellent activities with the kids and my son really enjoys his childcare centre days.
They care a lot and give really excellent feedback for the parents to see what their kid has been up to in the day.
They also have an app where the parents can upload what their kid has been doing and they can do the same so the parents can see what their kid has been up to at childcare centre. We personally find this invaluable so we can keep up with the things he’s enjoying (some of which we would never have thought of) and it helps with his development.
They also have a excellent outdoor garden where they grow their own veggies and have playtime equipment for all ages.
We really couldn’t suggest highly enough. Our son is full of smiles when he arrives and all of the team consistently make him sense welcome and seem really cheerful to see him. Myself and my son’s dad couldn’t speak highly enough of this childcare centre and their team.

February 23, 2025 at 7:55 pmOur eldest is now in school but still talks about the childcare centre, the team and the friends he made there. Our youngest started Woodlands at 9 months old and has grown into a very cheerful and sociable boy, who literally runs through the door with a huge smile on his face. The setting itself feels inviting and welcoming, where all team know every kid and their families. The garden is a fantastic place, both my boys adore this space. Activities inside are reflected outside too so the discovering continues as well as the enjoyable. The team are very expert and welcoming. They are a huge assistance to families, especially in this last difficult year. The team work so hard and consistently encourage parents to get involved in childcare centre life. Woodlands often hold events to give parents the opportunity to see their kids having enjoyable within the setting, offering Mother’s and Father’s Day parties and Christmas events. My boys have so much enjoyable at Woodlands, thank you so much. Both of my boys have attended Woodlands.

March 18, 2025 at 11:37 amThe care my daughter has received has been incredible! I returned to work when my daughter was 6-months-old so it was quite difficult for me to leave her, but the Woodlands team put my mind at ease straight away with the way they cared for her. She is consistently very excited to see the team in the mornings! The team here really know the kids, and they are consistently setting up personalised activities related to her current interests, which are really lovely. The management is also remarkable, and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. The team also upload lots of pictures of her, which is excellent to see what she has been getting up to, and she is usually grinning in the pictures! I cannot suggest Woodlands childcare centre enough.

March 24, 2025 at 1:19 amIt’s such a hard thing to entrust your baby into someone else’s care and we have been so impressed with the team at Woodlands Day Childcare centre & Childcare centre School. Everyone got to know our little one and his interests and personality. They take the time to inform us about his day at pick up and he has progressed loads in terms of eating (the food is excellent!), sleeping and speaking since joining! He clearly loves childcare centre and all of the team! We adore it and I would suggest Woodlands Day Childcare centre without reservation! We have been so cheerful with the childcare centre provision at Woodlands Day Childcare centre & Childcare centre School since our little boy started.

March 26, 2025 at 6:37 pmI saw him development little by little and become more and more cheerful in the childcare centre. I am very cheerful about the childcare centre because firstly I think they have very great management and teamwork, for example, their carers system that not only the main carer gets familiar with my son but other carers also do. Secondly, the cleanliness of the childcare centre is excellent. I expected my son would get sick very often for his first few months but actually, he is not. The carers look after him really well. I am very thankful for the team and I am so glad that I chose Woodlands Day Childcare centre & Childcare centre School for my son. My son went to childcare centre at 2 and a half years old and settled in approximately just over a month.

April 11, 2025 at 3:00 amHas a lovely family sense, both my boys have loved attending Woodlands!
The team are really supportive, I adore the fact the food is home-cooked and healthy too. A remarkable childcare centre with outstanding facilities and incredible team.

April 17, 2025 at 3:31 amWithin weeks, my son has developed great relationships with the team. The manager and team are very attentive, welcoming and supportive. I would suggest it to any future parents. My kid eagerly runs to the door for the team to let him in each morning and leaves with a huge smile on his face. He is flourishing under their guidance, especially his key worker. Updates with team before and after every session helps us sense very supported. Furthermore, updates from the childcare centre (as a whole) is frequent and informative. I have been impressed with the activities that the kids do and there are plenty of opportunities for them to playtime in the remarkable garden area. You’re doing a fab job Woodlands! I am so pleased with the care and service from Woodlands.

April 26, 2025 at 2:39 pmI trusted and felt confident my daughter was secure when there, which is hugely important. I would suggest Woodlands Day Childcare centre & Childcare centre School to anyone looking for a childcare centre. My daughter enjoyed her time at this childcare centre and had a excellent connection with the team.
Phoenix Lawson
May 16, 2025 at 12:33 pmOur first kid had an incredible journey there and what is so lovely, is that all those things that we loved about Woodlands seven years ago are still there and more. The setting itself is lovely, spotless and really well equipped and the team are incredible. The management go above and beyond to ensure that both parents and kids are cheerful and reassured. I consistently suggest it to my friends, as I know that they will be as impressed as I am. This is the second time that we have used Woodlands.

May 28, 2025 at 4:15 pmHe has become very ‘clingy’ during lockdown but wakes every morning asking to go to childcare centre, even on weekends. I adore the online observations so I can check on his development and show grandparents. Outstanding. My son has settled well in the preschool room and enjoys all the remarkable activities on offer.

June 5, 2025 at 9:02 pmI am extremely cheerful with the care she receives. The team are all so attentive and welcoming. My kid absolutely loves it and she consistently goes in cheerful and excited for the day. The development I’ve seen in my daughter since she started has been outstanding. I would highly suggest Woodlands Day Childcare centre to anybody for their kids. My daughter has been going to this childcare centre for over a year now.
Robin Page
June 6, 2025 at 3:08 pmMe and my husband were both anxious about our daughter starting childcare centre. She was extremely shy and anxious around new people, but within a few sessions, she was like a different kid. Now she happily runs into childcare centre with open arms. It is so lovely to see how cheerful and content she is at Woodlands and the team are all so lovely, approachable and so attentive. They all take the time to know your kid completely and know their interests and find activities that they know they will adore. I adore sitting down after she has been to childcare centre and looking at her online journal to see what she has been doing and talking to her about it. She has made friends, not only with the kids, but the team too. My daughter’s self‑assurance has come on leaps and bounds and I couldn’t be any happier, knowing I am leaving my kid in very capable hands. Finding the right childcare centre for your kid is never an easy task, but from the moment we saw Woodlands, we knew it was the place for our daughter.
Phoenix Blair
June 16, 2025 at 7:35 amCompared to other nurseries that we viewed, it just gave us the right feeling of a home away from home for our little one.
Our daughter started childcare centre being just 10 months old, but all the worries that you have as a parent were addressed and she settled amazingly quickly after just a few sessions. Now she loves going and enjoys the incredible variety of activities (even for the young babies in rabbits) and the delicious food that’s on offer every day.
The team are outstanding, everyone is so nice and expert and even the team looking after the older kids all know the young ones too. It’s like one big family.
It’s exceptional to see all the pictures of what my daughter has been up to on the app.
The admin team are excellent too, you consistently get a quick response to any queries.
The outdoor area is lovely and the kids get taken outside a lot. It’s a excellent childcare centre all around! We decided on Woodlands before our daughter was even born.
Skyler Hunter
June 19, 2025 at 10:14 pmAs are all the team in the room and throughout the entire childcare centre, their care is second to none. The team are consistently cheerful and supportive.
All activities are tailored to suit my daughter’s needs and interests, we receive weekly observations, and the childcare centre is very informative of everything going on!
Very cheerful parents! Our daughter attends Woodlands 3 days per week, her key worker is fab!

June 30, 2025 at 8:40 pmIt was a journey that was difficult for both my daughter and myself to commence. Leaving a kid is never an easy thing to do but the girls who so tenderly cared for my daughter made it easy. She transitioned from the Rabbits to the Hedgehogs smoothly. The Hedgehog ladies were remarkable and have treated me like family. They have supported not only my daughter but my family and myself through a very traumatic loss journey. I will forever be indebted to the ladies who looked after my kid when I physically couldn’t and made sure that my daughter was none the wiser about the loss and for that reason alone I would suggest this childcare centre to everyone. The level of care, kindness, empathy and assistance along with an outstanding discovering setting for the kids that they collectively provide as a unit makes them truly outstanding. My daughter started at Woodlands at eleven months old.
