Therefore, at times, children do not benefit from the consistent approach needed to fully support their progress. Outdoor space The areas of learning are supported, both indoors and outdoors, and staff thoughtfully provide interesting experiences for all. Children enjoy outings to the local park and use larger equipment to extend their physical skills. ## Parent Reviews of Woodlands Under 5's Pre-School 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKodRqcEDGZVilbABhMV1Ky2vNokMP8in42KIRh1HuBSZlP4A=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Charlotte Griffiths 2 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURkcU9qcmt3RRAB!2m1!1s0x47df3214de2a0deb:0x93a5a026f29a9882) Reviews from Google for Woodlands Under 5's Pre-School.
