Our eldest has attended Woodlands from 2021 until 2023, and our youngest son is currently there now. Issues, however small, are always dealt with immediately. My eldest started reception with the best possible grounding, and loves her current school as a result of the quality education afforded to her at Woodlands. The staff have been nothing short of incredible. Dilsha and Camila (and the loving and caring staff that have taught my children through the years) have given both of my children the best start to life. Woodlands is a special place, with caring management. Our children love their time there. We love the friends that we've made and the community that we've formed at the school.

Both of our children attended Woodlands (Mitcham Lane) from around the age of three until they moved on in summer 2023. Throughout their time there, we always found the staff to be incredibly welcoming, supportive, and encouraging in meeting their individual needs. Our children were genuinely happy to go in each day — we never once had any issues with the staff, who were consistently kind and attentive. Of course, like all young children, there were the occasional ups and downs with friends, but we saw these as part of their natural learning about boundaries and relationships — and the team at Woodlands handled these moments with great care and understanding. We’ve maintained lovely friendships with other families we met there, and still hear great things about how the nursery continues to operate under Dilsha's leadership. Financially, Woodlands was competitively priced, and while childcare is always a significant investment, we truly felt we got excellent value for the quality of care and experience our children received. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Woodlands Nursery to any parents looking for a nurturing, professional, and genuinely caring environment.

Our children have been at woodlands for 4years and the staff there have become like an extension to our family. Woodlands were the first people we told when we learned we were pregnant with our second child, we wouldn’t chance not getting another place there! They are so wonderfully kind, attentive and personable. They really adore the children and work hard to give the best care to every single one. Dilsha is a fantastic manager, she is kind, friendly and approachable whilst also maintaining upmost professionalism. She works hard to support her staff to grow and develop and progress in their careers. Woodlands really fosters an amazing environment for learning, the preschool projects were enjoyable for the whole family, & have given our eldest an amazing foundation to starting reception.

Woodlands is a brilliant nursery. The staff are warm, caring and welcoming and go above and beyond. The management team are professional and organised, and are lovely people that genuinely care about the children. The manager, in particular, is fantastic - accessible, responsive and on top of everything. My older daughter has recently started Reception and could not have been better prepared by Woodlands. We have moved out of London and had to move our younger daughter to another nursery, and it's hard to find somewhere as good as Woodlands!

Having experienced another nursery before joining Woodlands, and again since leaving due to an international move, I can confidently say that Woodlands is truly exceptional—and a huge part of that is thanks to its incredible manager Dilsha who leads with warmth, professionalism, and a deep sense of care! She is truly a wonderful woman who my kids continue to miss. Also, the teaching and staff engagement at Woodlands is second to none and provides a solid foundation for learning and growth—not just for the children, but for us parents aswell!! Dilsha has fostered such a family atmosphere children truly thrive under their care. As hard as it was to say goodbye we left Woodlands with so much more than we could have hoped for—happy, confident children who had the best possible start to their education, beautiful memories we’ll always treasure, lifelong friendships and a sense of belonging to something truly special. Thank you Dilsha, Camila and the entire team for creating such a magical place.
