You can tell that Sharon genuinely cares about everyone in her establishment. The open door policy Sharon has for the parents and carers of the children, was more than helpful on occasion, and any issues or concerns I had, Sharon was more than happy to help me with them. Fantastic nursery, fantastic staff. Both of my children went here, and I cannot recommend Woodentops Day Nursery enough!
