Super impressed with the nursery this time round with my 17-month-old. Particularly want to mention two specific staff members who do a sterling job of looking after my boy and the manager who is fab at linking in with me. They provide great activities, great food and super care for my little boy and
one staff member in particular is super at the weekly updates of my very happy little boy. Highly recommend them!

Recently moved daughter to nursery a few months ago. She's settled in so well. She's so happy to go and is greeted with such a welcome. The activities they get up to are great and taking her for walks in the woods is a highlight. Lovely staff who work hard.

Amazing. That's the start. This nursery is the best thing I ever did for my children. My daughter is 3 and my son is 20 months, they had never been left with anyone. From starting with the settling-in sessions both children settled very fast, I was amazed. That to me was everything. We always get a
detailed handover of what they have done/played with, eaten. They have key workers but also spend time carrying out different activities with the nursery workers. (Variety is always best for children). The food they have is nutritious and really good variety, some things I wouldn't think of making for them. They always try it which is good enough for me. The team there are so friendly and welcoming I actually feel like I'm just dropping the kids round to my friends. Room leaders give you a call before the start to go over what's needed and what happens. The manager goes above and beyond to help with extra hours.
But everyone is top class and I feel privileged to send my kids there.

My toddler is always so excited to see her teacher each morning, which is a wonderful sign of how much she enjoys her time at Woodleys Park Day Nursery! Although she isn't speaking yet, the photos the staff send say it all- she's always engaged and happy during the activities. It's heartwarming to see
her smiling and having such a great time each day. I'm so grateful to the caring staff for creating a positive and fun environment where she's clearly thriving.

Terrible nursery. We enrolled our son in August 2022, he had just turned 3 and this was his second nursery in Northampton. We pulled him out by November that same year. We were never taken for a tour through the nursery or his room. Every time we asked for a tour they said they would do a virtual tour
via call and never called us. It was never clear who his key worker was until 3 months after he had been there. There were new workers every other week and they would constantly ask my partner who he was here to collect despite him being on the collection list and even dropping our son off that same morning. After nearly 3 months the workers would say that he still plays by himself, and doesn’t really get involved in group activities - if there even were any. He began crying at drop-off and not wanting to go to nursery. This was a red flag for us because that is not normal behaviour from him. We were never given any progression reports of his learning or anything practical about his education.

Since joining Woodleys Park, my 2-year-old has come on leaps and bounds. She can't wait to get into nursery every morning which makes me feel happy on my way to work.
At pick up time, she's full of smiles and can't wait to show me all of the fun things she has done that day. The staff are really friendly
and made me feel so at ease when leaving my child in their care.
Brilliant nursery would recommend to anyone!

After reading a bad review regarding this nursery I was unsure as whether to visit. I'm so glad I did!
My daughter who can be very clingy, settled in straight away. As I work within education I can be quite picky, but was pleased to see it was a fantastic stepping stone in learning before starting
school, so I was so relieved that even I couldn't find anything wrong.
The staff are lovely always happy and always seem pleased to see my daughter when we arrive, and my daughter is always pleased to see them. Definitely worth a visit.

Both my children who are 1 and 3 started the nursery in March this year and all I have seen is the positive effect the brilliant nursery and its committed staff have had on them. I have recommended them to my friends and family and think the decision to send them to nursery rather than a childminder
has enabled them to become confident and sociable. I find the staff extremely easy to talk to and very willing to help at all times. There is nothing else me and my partner would want. Woodleys Park has exceeded our expectations.

Current Review Score: 7.9 (7.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.870) out of 10 for Woodleys Park Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.217 for Woodleys Park Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.217

  • 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 3.653 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodleys Park Day Nursery is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.278

  • 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.
