Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The management team and staff ensure that children who have additional needs receive swift support, helping them succeed. Staff get to know the children well and use observations to plan and implement activities that enable learning, helping children make the best possible progress at nursery.

Outdoor space

Children's outdoor learning is occasionally interrupted, as staff direct them to go inside after a short period. This hinders children's eagerness to use resources, as they cannot finish what they are working on before being moved to the next activity.

My son started the woodhill kiddisafe last summer and it is honestly the best decision we've made. We'd viewed quite a few nurseries in the area before we visited kiddisafe and I wasn't feeling confident sending him anywhere as he has some additional needs and it didnt feel like anywhere was the right fit for him. When we went to kiddisafe for the initial viewing I spoke with the manager Hasina about what my sons needs were and my worries with putting him into a nursery. She was genuinely so amazing at putting me at ease and assuring me that things would be done at my sons pace and in the way he needed to suit his needs. Since then the nursery has become like family to us both. I can't express how thankful I am for all the work the girls there have done with him, especially khadija and ammarah. You can tell they genuinely love and care for your child and are both absolutely amazing with children. My son has made so much progress whilst attending and he absolutely loves going into nursery every day. I don't think I could have found anywhere better than kiddisafe to send him.

We couldn't be happier with our daughter's experience at Kiddisafe. She attended for two wonderful years and thrived in their nurturing environment. They were fantastic at helping her overcome her fussy eating habits. They encouraged her to try new foods and we saw a significant improvement in her willingness to try different things. Also their assistance with toilet training was invaluable. They were patient and consistent, which made the process so much smoother for both our daughter and us. Beyond these specific areas, the nursery's overall communication was excellent. We received regular updates about her day-to-day activities and her progress in general, which kept us fully informed and involved. We also really appreciated the "stay and play" activities they organised where parents could participate alongside their children. These events were a fantastic opportunity for us join in and to see our daughter interacting with her friends and teachers in the nursery setting. Most importantly, the staff genuinely care about the children. They made a real effort to build a strong relationship not only with our daughter but also with us as parents. This personal touch created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel like part of the nursery family. We highly recommend Kiddisafe to any parent looking for a caring, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.

Our daughter has been at KiddiSafe WoodHill since she was 1 and is now leaving at 4 years old. We’ve had an incredible experience with the nursery, the staff and the managers who have all been exceptional and have had such a positive impact on our daughter, her development and her confidence. We will miss KiddiSafe for sure and would definitely recommend this nursery, particular if you are looking for one that provides a family feel, who value both the children and their parents. Thank you KiddiSafe and a shoutout to Hasina for being amazing!
