Inspector highlights

  • Leaders and managers have good oversight of the setting and a well-planned curriculum.
  • Staff complete regular assessments and observations to plan for children's next steps in learning, including for children with SEND.
  • Staff successfully embed mathematics into children's daily routine.
  • Children's independence is supported well, from self-care to helping set tables.
  • Staff work closely with parents, building positive partnerships and ensuring consistent support for children.

Areas to develop

  • 1At times, staff do not always support children's conversational skills or model language appropriately to help children understand the correct use of words. This means, at these times, children are not being supported fully to develop their growing vocabulary.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Individual plans meet the needs of children and ensure they make the progress they are capable of, including for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff adapt activities, where needed, to ensure that all children benefit and have the opportunity to take part.

Outdoor space

Children's learning continues outdoors, where they build on and learn new physical skills by completing obstacle courses. Children skilfully balance along beams and proudly jump when they reach the end. Younger children explore water and concentrate as they pour the water into different containers. Older children work together to make 'mud soup', which they then feed to dinosaurs.

Amazing nursery with great staff. My son has been going here for nearly 2 years and he loves it and I feel he is genuinely cared about by all the staff.

I am so happy with the service and care provided by the team at Woodlands. I feel a lot of guilt having our son at nursery full time so I want to feel assured that the people looking after him are going to love him in our absence. The team at Woodlands are warm and friendly, and I can feel that they genuinely care about him. He learns so much while he's there and gets more stimulation and development than we could provide at home.

Sadly we have moved away from Wendover and we did not find it easy finding a nursery in our new town that we felt as comfortable with as we do yours. Woodlands was the only nursery we looked at for Isla so we didn't realise just how good we had it until now! We would like to say thank you to you and all the staff for all the help and for creating a warm, inviting, creative space with personality for Isla to enjoy when she is with you.

Our son has become even more confident and out-going since joining Woodlands. He is thriving in the baby room and I couldn't be happier.
