Our son and daughter both loved their time at Scott's Wood, and son has just left to go start school. There is a genuine warmth to the whole place, all the staff are great and made their time there really enjoyable. Helen, Louise and the whole team go out of their way to make sure life is as straightforward as it can be for us as parents and fun for the kids. They were absolutely fantastic over the pandemic and lock downs etc. We are sad that their nursery time has come to an end but really grateful that the whole team made our children's first few years fantastic. Thank you Scotts Wood.

The nursery has a caring and nurturing atmosphere and is well managed. The staff members are lovely and see the children as individuals. Our children have been very happy at Scott's Wood and I am glad we chose this nursery.

We loved Scott’s wood nursery. Our son had a very happy experience and loved going in each day. They provided huge care and love for him throughout his experience and helped him to develop friendships through his time there. The staff were always very welcoming and catered for his needs wonderfully. He was well equipped for school by the end of his time at Nursery, and this included missing some key time through the Covid lockdown. Our son was able to return briefly to the nursery before going to school and we felt happy and reassured of his return through the measures that the nursery took to make it a safe and compliant place. We can not recommend highly enough.

Our son loved his time at Scotts Wood Nursery and we were very sad that he didn’t get to finish his final months there due to the coronavirus (our choice not Scott’s Woods). The staff in every room are first class and you always get a warm welcome on drop off and pick up. The facilities are great and our son especially enjoyed the outside space. We always felt that it was a safe, secure and loving environment. I loved their use of Tapestry so we could see what our sons had been doing along with his nursery journey and progression. The nursery put on seasonal events out of nursery time which are really well organised and fun for the whole family. We highly recommend

My daughter started Scott’s wood at 9 months old and remained until starting school. As a parent you want the best for your child and Scott’s Wood did not fail me. From day one the staff were nothing other than professional, accommodating, attentive, hardworking and reassuring. The premises are kept to a very high standard, with copious amounts of toys educational, craft activities. Continuing to explore new ways and ideas to ignite the imagination of the children. With the recent pandemic I had NO concerns upon the return of my daughter to Scott’s wood. I was informed regularly on new procedures and how they would approach the situation. My daughter was delighted to return to Scott’s wood. To be see her settle back in and be so happy to have her little life back was an emotional experience. I am so grateful to all the staff and grateful they survived this awful pandemic and can offer there excellent service once again . My daughter started school 4 weeks ago and transitioned like a dream. I’m certain this is partly due to Scott’s wood in there preparation for her starting school. This as a parent was a huge relief and reassuring on her first day. Thankyou Helen and your wonderful team for giving my daughter the very best start . 😊😊
