We absolutely adore Woldingham Nursery Class. Our daughter has flourished there and we are enjoying watching her grow into a bright, independent and confident child that will be ready for school. The nursery manager is outstanding and we have open and frequent communication with all of the teachers.
Thank you all so much.

A truly exceptional nursery. The manager and her team are amazing caregivers, who couldn't do more for the children in their care. They are always coming up with imaginative ways to keep the children entertained and help them grow and develop into lovely individuals. My daughter asks to go every day
and always comes up with a massive smile on her face, excited to tell me all she's done in the day. We are both thrilled we found such an amazing nursery and I couldn't recommend it more!

I would highly recommend the nursery to everyone. My twin boys love it and enjoy every day there. Especially the teachers. I wish I had sent my daughter there but didn't know about it. Definitely 10 out of 10 for us. Plus Karen who runs the whole business is absolutely fantastic. Definitely recommend
it highly. Wish my boys could stay there forever.

The twins started at the nursery in April 2024 and they are so settled they love it.
The staff are so welcoming and friendly, and definitely reassure you at all times.
My daughter loves going to nursery and has really flourished in character.
My son also loves going to nursery and just walks straight
in without waving goodbye now. His speech has definitely improved too.
The ladies are very proactive if there's an issue that needs resolving.
The manager and her team have reassured me that the twins are happy, safe and learning.
We are so pleased we picked Woldingham Nursery for the twins.

Reply from Karen Chevreau, Owner at Woldingham Nursery Class

Thank you for your lovely review. The twins have settled in so well and are a joy to watch as they grow and flourish at the nursery. We look forward to watching their progress when we return in September.

Woldingham Nursery has looked after both of my children for a total of 4 years and I cannot give them higher praise. They ticked all the boxes for the things we looked for with a nursery, but most importantly, the teachers are the kindest, most loving souls you could ever imagine and my son and daughter
genuinely adore the bones of them. I have never had to worry for a second that they were not surrounded by kindness. We will be leaving at the end of this year and both of mine will be at junior school, I cannot explain how much I will miss seeing their wonderful faces every single morning at drop-off.

My son has only been with Woldingham Nursery for a few weeks, he has taken a bit of time to settle but the manager and the team have really focused on his interests and this has really helped him to settle! Every time I’ve picked him up he has been happy playing which is lovely to see. The environment
is full of lots of activities and areas for the children to explore and learn with their little friends. The learning journey is also fantastic where we can see how our son is learning and developing.

My daughter attended full-time, Monday to Friday and loved it there. She was behind in a few areas and the nursery managed to help her develop and grow in all areas. There was a lot of support and care from the staff towards my daughter which is what you hope for in a nursery. Had a great relationship
with my daughter's key worker and I feel the time spent there has prepared her for school.

My middle child attended Woldingham Nursery Class for two years, leaving last year and I’ve just had a settling-in session for my youngest to start in September.
The women who run and work at the nursery are wonderful, truly nurturing and caring and you can tell they all love what they do.
The nursery
itself is lovely, bright and airy, with children given free movement between activities, which are regularly changed throughout the day.
I love that the children aren’t segregated by age, the older ones take great pride and joy in playing with the younger children and helping them play, build or learn something new.
The updates that are given to parents about their child’s progress are incredibly informative and reassuring, showing their work and notes made of the wonderful little remarks your child makes while at nursery.
My middle child enjoyed the nursery so much, that it was never in any doubt that my youngest would attend and love it too.

This nursery is such a happy and exciting environment for children to be in. They supply a variety of toys and activities which keep the children busy and engaged. My son has thrived so much in the last year since starting. His speech and social skills have come on leaps and bounds after being with
other children and really encouraged along by his teachers. The staff are fantastic and we highly rate the nursery.

Woldingham Nursery is a lovely preschool setting. My middle son currently attends, but my eldest was also enrolled before he started school and my youngest will also join once he turns two. The staff provide a nurturing environment for the children to learn and grow - they are fantastic at getting children
ready for school. There are always a variety of activities carried out with the children and they always come home with lovely artwork and baked goods that they have been involved in making. I have always been really happy with my children attending the nursery.

Both of my children have attended Woldingham Nursery Class and have absolutely loved going. The care and attention they get from the staff are just fantastic; all of them know each child so well.
One of the things we love most about this nursery is how much time they spend outside. If the weather is
favourable, they are outside playing on trikes, scooters, in ride-along cars, playing with balls, balancing benches or just general toys.
It is always requested that children are suitably dressed and come with hat/coat/gloves/suncream to ensure they are comfortable, safe and protected outdoors.
Indoors they have a huge variety of activities to do, whether arts and crafts, music, reading etc. It is just fabulous.
Kindness, manners and morals are very much instilled in the children which is just an extension of home for us and highly appreciated.
Children leave here well equipped to start school.
I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

The staff did a wonderful job of helping my son settle in and to ensure all his (and my) needs were met. He loves going! He does a range of activities there and particularly enjoys the outdoor space. The staff take the time to share things he has done during the session, so we get a real sense of his
experience there. I am so delighted that we found this brilliant nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Woldingham Nursery Class is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 4.949 for Woldingham Nursery Class is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 Woldingham Nursery Class is based on 10 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 10 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.
