'Thank you' seems insignificant but a massive thank you to all of you that worked with my children. My son cried many days when he realised I was leaving him but I had no worries as the ladies always comforted me/explained he had stopped within minutes of me leaving. To have that empathy/understanding
and being spoken to like a regular person was a huge thing. I will never forget the part you played in both my children's progress/development. There comes a point that its stops being just childcare; you became a big part of my life/my children's lives and I am so thankful for how you have helped shape their manners/skills/qualities; it makes me feel very proud of the people they are becoming. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend New Woods; they provide wonderful care and the ladies are truly exceptional.

My children have been coming to this setting since 2010. I've never had a concern in leaving them as the staff here are fab, they are extremely approachable and understanding. Every morning they greet us with a friendly smile and news of exciting activities planned for the day ahead. The setting has
a very clear structure and routine to follow, which really helps the children settle straight in. My eldest two children really thrived with both communication and understanding and I can say with confidence that my youngest will be given every opportunity to do the same during his time at New Woods too.
My children have so many wonderful memories of their time at New Woods such as sponsored events, fancy dress and craft afternoons.

My child started at New Woods just before her first birthday and has been there for two years now. The initial visits arrangement is perfect yot ensure children and parents feel comfortable to be left alone. The staff are friendly and approachable. I have been able to ask for extra hours when necessary
in advance and have been accommodated when possible. My child is happy to go to the nursery and I have seen her confidence and ability grow thanks to the wonderful nurturing staff and environment. I would highly recommend New Woods to other parents.

My daughter started with New Woods Childcare when she was six months old to allow me to go back to work on a part-time basis. Since attending the nursery she has grown into a wonderful little girl who is confident and bubbly. As a parent having to give my daughter to someone to look after at such
a young age was very hard, however, the staff at New Woods Childcare were so wonderful at not only understanding the needs of my daughter but also taking in to account my feelings of leaving my baby.


Since my daughter has attended the nursery her communication has come on leaps and bounds and she even teaches me new nursery rhymes and the actions to go with them which is wonderful to see. Most days we receive a painting or picture which we treasure and at certain times of the year, the nursery celebrates and involves the children in activities such as Christmas Craft which I look forward to each year. Overall the staff are wonderful and an asset to the childcare industry.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.198)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.198) out of 10 for New Woods Childcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.986 for New Woods Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.986

  • 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 4.212 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for New Woods Childcare is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.8 = 0.612

  • 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.
