Inclusion & environment

My little boy attended woodland adventure nursery for 2 years until he recently left to go to primary school. All the staff are amazing and my little boy had such a great bond with every single staff member. He progressed and loved nursery so much and has grown into such a clever and confident little boy. I can’t recommend the nursery enough as they have given my little boy the best start in his early years education. As my little boy has dietary needs, nothing was too much to cater for his needs. I can’t thank all the staff at Woodland Adventure Nursery for everything they did for my little boy. Highly recommend!
Read on GoogleAbsolutely love this nursery. My daughter has been going here since she was 8 months old. She has quite severe allergies and other conditions going on and the support we have received has been amazing! The cook puts so much effort into her meals and makes sure she has her own version of what everyone else has as often as possible and she absolutely loves her food!. We love that she gets to go outside daily and explore the woodlands safetly and learn new skills! All staff are all lovely,caring and friendly and very understanding and helpful with my daughters needs. She has built strong bonds with all the girls. I wouldn’t send my daughter anywhere else!
Read on GoogleThey should change their name to Wonderful Woodland Adventure Nursery because the staff are amazing and what they do for the children is out of this world. Our journey started with my son, he has Autism and they did everything to support me through our journey. We couldn’t ask for more and we’re forever grateful. I owe everything to this nursery for their Kindness and patience and now our daughter is there loving life and being outside with Nature in forest school. Continue doing amazing things Woodland Adventure Nursery and you should be so proud of the establishment you are today ☺️☺️
Read on GoogleMy Son has been attending this nursery since he was a baby and has absolutely loved it from the minute he started there. He’s thrived so much and has made so many special bonds with all the staff. They go above and beyond to provide the best learning opportunities for him. He loves being outside exploring the woodland area. We really couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!
Read on GoogleMy daughter has been going to Woodlands Adventure Nursery for nearly 12 months. As a mum you want to make sure your child goes to a place where you don’t need to worry when you aren’t there and this is absolutely the case. The staff are amazing with the children and have all the time in the world for them. They always give you an update of what they have been doing during the day when you are picking up and always have time to talk to you. The food is superb thanks to Anna who gives the children such a variety and Anna had even shown parents in the past what she is making on the App. The surroundings of the nursery are beautiful as there is a woodland area with ducks and wildlife. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending this nursery intellectually, verbally & socially. It makes me feel at ease that I’m sending her to a nursery where she is happy and excited to be going.
