    The team are lovely and go above and beyond to help. My kid loves going and is consistently asking when they are next going to childcare centre. Woodlands Childcare centre and Forest School is a remarkable childcare centre, which I would highly suggest.

    They focus on outdoors, with all rooms having access to gardens, is perfect for my kids who both adore it. The added bonus of forest school on site is such a fantastic journey for the kids. We have consistently found the team welcoming and approachable, and communicating with the team is easy through face to face, emails and the app. My eldest needs extra assistance due to a mobility issue, and all team are consistently keen to assistance him where needed. We are confident that our kids are supported, cared for and nurtured every day! We highly suggest Woodlands to anyone, and in fact, have recommended to two friends who now happily send their kids here.

    I wasn’t allowed in due to COVID, but the team were incredible with her and with me and she settled in truly quickly. When lockdown started, I had some issues and I was so worried about it, but the childcare centre were so supportive and took the time to go through all the options with me until it was sorted. The location is lovely, with so much outdoor space that they can playtime in and explore. The car park is truly big too, so you don’t have to wait for a space. The app they use is incredible, I can see what she eats, when and how much. I can easily message to ask questions and they regularly update a communal newsfeed and my personal wall with how she is developing. She repeats a lot of things that she hears at childcare centre, so I know they teach behaviours with positive reinforcement (she says “lovely manners” when I say please). They made a card when she was ill and put a picture on the app so I could show it to her and it truly made her smile. Highly recommended. My daughter joined full time at the start of the year.

    The level of care there is outstanding, with a lot of outdoor space and activities set up there. If the weather is bad, they have covered areas and can still delight in some fresh air and daylight. The food is all home-cooked and to a high standard with a great variety. The team is also highly accommodating and welcoming, giving updates weekly through the famly app especially. I can only highly suggest it. My son attended childcare centre at Woodlands and now comes back to do holiday clubs.

    The team are outstanding and she loves forest school! Would highly suggest it. My little girl has been to Woodlands for around a year now and she is highly cheerful and content there and has truly come on with her development.

    His physical and verbal development has come on leaps and bounds since starting. The team are lovely as well. The childcare centre fees are also highly reasonable. My son loves this childcare centre, in particular Forest School.

    My daughter truly struggled to settle but her key person has spent lots of time with her and she now goes in with a big smile on her face. She especially loves the forest school and comes home telling me all about her day. Excellent team and adore the outside area.

    I have consistently found the team to be exceptionally attentive and nurturing. They have lots of enjoyable activities planned for the kids and the Forest School area is such a valuable discovering journey.
    The preschool room has truly supported my eldest in preparation for going to school.
    As a keyworker, I found the childcare centre to be exceptionally supportive and supportive during the Covid lockdown period. Throughout this time the team continued to provide a high level of care.
    When I drop off the kids in the morning I consistently sense reassured that all their needs will be met and they will have a enjoyable day. Both of my kids have attended Woodlands since they were 9 months old.

    The team are so welcoming and passionate about their work. The outdoor setting is an incredible place to learn and they focus on your kid’s individual interests to help their development. Would suggest to anyone! I knew this was the childcare centre for us as soon as I visited.

    Have recently started potty training and the childcare centre has been incredible helping along with this.
    Consistently inform you of the day my daughter has and can see what she has been up to through the childcare centre app. Outstanding childcare centre, my daughter loves going and looks forward to her trips down to the forest school.
    The team are all highly welcoming and welcoming.

    Each room she has been in has been outstanding. The team are excellent, truly welcoming and highly attentive to your kid’s needs. The days are well planned, the kids have plenty of time outside in the fresh air. The outside areas are well laid out and the kids have plenty to playtime with. The kids have lots of activities to do inside too, drawing, reading and group activities. The security is excellent, you know your kid is secure. Can’t fault Woodlands at all, highly recommended. My daughter has attended Woodlands childcare centre since 2017.

    She has settled in so quickly and has bonded well with the team in her room. Her speech has developed amazingly and she consistently tells me about her day. She gets involved in so many different activities and she is consistently so excited to go back. They go down to their onsite Forest School site regularly which she loves! My kid has recently moved to Woodlands Childcare centre from another setting.

    Every day he comes back from childcare centre he has learnt something new. They help to encourage him to speak and consistently have new activities for the kids to do each day. My son loves going to Woodlands, they are consistently truly welcoming and cheerful and make him sense comfortable.

    We knew straight away it was the childcare centre for us with the welcoming and welcoming team, the outdoor space and forest school, the in-house chef and just the general approach to discovering. All the team are cheerful and welcoming and seem to adore to be there which rubs off on the kids. Our little boy has come on leaps and bounds and I couldn’t suggest it enough. Our little boy has been at Woodlands Childcare centre and Forest School now for just under two years and he loves it.

    The outstanding feature for us was the access to outside space all year round. The team are all fantastic, the resources are excellent, and my little one is certainly highly cheerful to be there. Overall we have had a highly positive journey with Woodlands.

    Time and effort are given to ensure each kid has the best possible journey during their time there. The range of activities and opportunities provided is remarkable, and your kid’s interests are incorporated into the planning for each room. Both my kids have grown in self‑assurance since joining the setting, and the team have truly made a difference in their lives. You receive regular updates on your kid’s development, and the flexibility and updates from the team are excellent. Parental input and views are listened to. I honestly can not fault the day to day running of the childcare centre, preschool and out of school club. A highly recommended and professionally ran childcare provider. The team do an incredible job. Woodlands team go above and beyond to assistance the kids.

    He enjoys his Forest school sessions and enjoys exploring his natural setting around him. The team have been incredible in supporting his needs from potty training and fussy eating! I would definitely suggest Woodlands for a welcoming and flexible setting! Since sending my son to Woodlands childcare centre, I have seen a excellent improvement with his social and cognitive development!
