The food is excellent and my son often has seconds or even a cheeky third helping !

Recently when I had a small complaint about something, I spoke to the manager who immediately implemented a change and I saw instant results and couldn't be happier.
Not only do they care about the children but the adults too. If you are upset one day at drop off or pick up they'll do their best to ask you if you're ok too.
We couldn't be happier at Woodlands and we highly recommend it.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for Woodlands Day Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.795 for Woodlands Day Care is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.795
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodlands Day Care is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Hello, my name is Sam. I am the Nursery Manager at Woodlands Day Care.
Joining the nursery in January 2012, I began my early year journey gaining experience with all ages before developing a passion for preschool and supporting their readiness towards school.
My continued enthusiasm to learn led me to complete my Level 2 and Level 3 which then sparked a further interest towards completing a degree in my Early Years.
I was promoted to management in 2014. Whilst continuing my studies and with a desire to help others, I focused on building the curriculum and supporting my team and parents, to help ensure all children flourish and be curious learners.

Early years are my passion, I have a pedagogical approach and know the importance of learning through play.
