My son has absolutely loved his time at this nursery. They have done so much to prepare all the children for moving onto school. The staff are all lovely and informative. He has progressed greatly with his abilities under their guidance. We would highly recommend this nursery.

My little boy always has a great time at this nursery. The children are involved in a wide range of fun activities throughout the day. Staff are excellent and seem to know all of the children really well. They often direct learning tasks around the children’s individual interests which keeps them engaged, whilst still having fun. There’s lots of outdoor play whatever the weather, and my son always has a story to tell of what he’s been up to when I collect him. Big thanks to all of the staff at Little Woodlings!

A fantastic nursery!! My little one throughly enjoys attending and loves all the nursery staff. They are attentive and provide the best support to the little ones. They are thoughtful, kind and encourage any interest that your little one expresses. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my child and as a parent.

My daughter has attended little woodlings since she was 2 years old. Now nearly 6, she attends Claverley primary school which is attached to the nursery and goes to afterschool club at Little Woodlings. The staff have been virtually the same since she started, so her transition in to school couldn't have been easier. She knows all the children and staff and it feels like a little family. I can not recommend Little Woodlings enough, and would give more than 5 stars if I could. Great staff, great environment and an excellent feeder to Claverley primary. Highly recommended
