My daughter has been going to this nursery for only two weeks now but she is absolutely loving every minute so far! The staff are extremely helpful and are helping her achieve so much already! In this short amount of time, I've noticed my her speech has already improved, she's making new friends, coming
home with so much excitement and learning so much! Highly recommend!

My son has just started nursery and he's enjoying it so much, came out of his shell and talks so much more and the confidence in him is amazing. The staff are excellent with him, especially on his first couple of days when he was crying a lot, he loves his key worker and always enjoys going. The app
tells me so much about his day and how we can encourage him more at home.

Lovely staff, very informative of any issues that may arise, ie, child illnesses in the nursery. Staff are very accommodating, especially as our little one is having a few separation issues and keep us updated on our granddaughter's time at the nursery. Overall very happy and would definitely recommend
In The Woods to everyone.

My baby started at the nursery at 6 months and he's coming on leaps and bounds! After the first 2 days, he started clapping on his own. Staff are very communicative and always happy to help. I can't fault them for anything and my now 10-month-old baby always had smiles going and coming home.

My son only started last week and I was so worried he wasn't going to settle in as his different around people and very shy and usually gets upset a lot.
After a few minutes, my boy was the happiest here! Good communication and can always keep an eye on my little boy through the app, only a week here
and already so happy with how he settled. Thank you.

My child's development has been notably aided by attending this nursery and the variety of activities they do even with the youngest children is great. Regular updates through the app regarding feeding, changes, accidents and even new skills gained are a wonderful help for parents when you can't be
with them in person. Lovely staff members whom my child is always happy to see at drop-off too!

My daughter went to this nursery when it first opened in 2018 and was attending until she started school, both her and I absolutely loved this place, she was thriving there and has lots of lovely memories. When my son was born last year I knew this was the only place I wanted him to be in. He's been
at this nursery for the past 8 months and is doing amazing. The setting is really good, all the staff are nice and friendly and I know he's well looked after. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

The nursery staff have been very informative about my child giving us regular updates about how she is settling into the nursery. Even though it’s only been a couple of days my child speaks highly of school and gets excited when getting ready to go. Nursery brings structure to our week and it’s great
to know my child is having a lovely time. She enjoyed getting wet and having to change clothes. She was excited to show me that she was in different clothes when I got back from work. It’s been a great start for my child and I hope she will be able to attend the facility until she starts reception.

My little one started nursery when she was 9 months old. Now she is nearly 3 years old. Her development and her knowledge gain since is just amazing. The team is always supportive and has a positive communication style. I like the inclusivity and the multicultural development. I appreciate the values
and behaviours that the nursery is promoting. I definitely recommend this nursery!

Little Woods is a great nursery. My 2 1/2 year old loves every minute. We have separation anxiety most of the time except at the nursery gate when she just happily waves goodbye. The staff are amazing and treat her like their own.

Our son joined this nursery when he was 7 months old as I was returning to work after being on maternity leave.
We had visited this nursery prior to putting our son's name down for it and we loved it straight away!
The staff there are so kind, welcoming and hard-working, I honestly couldn't fault
them!
Our son's eyes light up everytime I drop him off in the mornings as we're greeted by a smiling staff member.
In the two months our son has attended this nursery, his speech has started to come along, he now loves all types of food, his fine motor skills have developed massively and he socialises with the other babies in his group.
I highly recommend this nursery to any parent that might be a bit nervous leaving their child with strangers, but honestly it was the best thing we ever did for our son. We are so glad we sent him to In the Woods Nursery. Thank you to Sarah and her amazing team!!

I cannot express how amazing this nursery is. My 4-year-old son attended this nursery and currently, my 2-year-old attends. The staff are incredible! They are approachable and build strong connections and relationships with both the children and myself. They are kind, and caring and go above and beyond
to meet the needs of the children. They are approachable and really challenge the children. My son is at reception now and his phonics are at a strength where he is in the top group, and he is flying in his maths. This is because of the strong foundation the nursery has built through fun and creative activities.
Both of my boys love the food where the sausage casserole is a favourite and they have plenty of healthy offers.
The manager is extremely passionate which runs through to her hard-working dedicated staff. I would definitely recommend this nursery for all ages.
My youngest has been there since 10 months old and the progression of his milestones and communication is amazing.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.971)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.971) out of 10 for In the Woods Nursery 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 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 55 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 4.971 for In the Woods Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (637 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 655 Ratings = 4.971

  • 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 In the Woods Nursery is based on 55 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 55 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.
