My daughter loved Forest School. She was very nervous starting, but the practitioners were very kind and welcoming. By the end of the week, she was sad it was finished! The set-up is great, and she loved all the activities.

The staff are amazing. Having a child with special needs is a worry leaving her at a holiday club but with Little Owl's holiday club, I don't worry as they really are accommodating and get to know them. My little one always looks forward to attending in school holidays and comes home tired. Shame they
only do three weeks of the six weeks but she's had an amazing time, especially at the Woodland week. Thanks.

Our boy had an amazing week at the woodland Little Owls. He used sticks to toast marshmallows, apples and toast in the fire pit, he had scavenger hunts, made pictures using flower petals, learned how to safely make a fire, made waterproof dens (and tested them with buckets of water) and used a saw to
saw logs and make stuff! He used binoculars to spot deer and birds, (he apparently also spotted a bear!). They also had campfire stories. Each day was a lovely adventure. He came home wonderfully tired, from a day of being busy, finding out about himself, exploring, doing and being able to breathe and play in fresh air. I absolutely love this woodlands site. The staff are caring, kind, fun, and enthusiastic about supporting the children to try new things, learn new skills and enjoy nature.

We can not praise this nursery enough. If you are looking for a facility with supportive, highly trained, professional and caring staff then choose Woodland.
This was not the first nursery we tried, we’ve experienced several. The difference with the Woodland is that they are very child-focused as opposed
to money-focused. Children in the Woodland are treated as individuals as opposed to statistics and pay packets.
My boy's strengths are praised and he is encouraged to flourish.
My son is under a paediatrician for potential special needs and the SENCO at the nursery is amazing! She truly cares for my boy's well-being. In fact, all staff are so excited to share his achievements which as a mother is heartwarming.
The app system is fantastic, parents are given daily updates that are accurate and detailed as well as weekly reports.
All a mother wants is for her child to be safe loved and treated equally where other nurseries have failed. The Woodland has excelled in every single way.

My son has been attending this setting for 16 months and we will be very sorry to say goodbye when he moves on to school in September. The setting is unique and enabling, with lots of access to learning through natural resources and play. I feel the outdoor environment has given my son the absolute
best start to his education, seeing learning as fun! Staff members go above and beyond to deliver engaging activities and are approachable and caring. I always feel content leaving my son in such a special place with practitioners who care about his well-being and development. Through regular parent meetings, staff make it clear how well they know my son and I can't wait for my daughter to start her journey at The Woodland in September. I would recommend this nursery to anybody, it's a very special place.

My son has attended the Woodland Nursery since January. He hadn’t stayed with anyone who wasn’t family before, and the staff made his transition so easy. He looks forward to going each day and has made some lovely friendships. His language skills and confidence have improved so much since he started.
The staff are lovely and so caring and encouraging. This is the best nursery we could have found for him. He absolutely loves the outdoors and is thriving here.

Both our children have attended Woodland Nursery and have absolutely loved it and thrived. The staff are brilliant and the environment is beautiful. They always have creative ways to encourage the children’s learning and development while making the most of the natural world. Our children have flourished
here and we couldn’t recommend the setting more!

I have been over the moon with Little Owl Childcare and their Woodland Nursery. My little boy had never been away from family and the staff have encouraged him to settle well, create strong relationships with the adults and make new friends. The environment that the Woodland Nursery staff have created
has allowed him to flourish and we have noticed so many new skills develop over time. He enjoys trying the variety of hot food that is offered and we feel the level of care is no different to what we would give at home. We are so glad that our first nursery experience has been so positive and allowed us and our son to feel at ease. Thank you!!

The Woodlands Nursery is such a wonderful, welcoming space. All of the staff greet you with a smile and are always happy to have a conversation about your child. My daughter has grown in confidence so much since starting last year. She is thriving and enjoys being outdoors. I feel the staff are always
comforting when needed and very supportive to children and parents.

My daughter has attended Little Owls for over a year and she absolutely loves it! Not only does it stimulate her mentally, but also physically. She loves all the staff and has a fantastic relationship with them all and all the other children. The staff go over and above with their care for the children,
even as far as cuddling them if they injure themselves, are upset or just generally want a cuddle and I found other settings were reluctant to provide this kind of care. They work amazingly with parents in regards to routines, toilet training, encouraging the children to eat ect and overall just a fabulous setting. I know my daughter will be devastated when she leaves.

My son loves his time at Woodlands. The staff are supportive and make a great effort to build relationships with the children. They have access to so many experiences being out in the woodlands all day and also Chasewater. I find my child is much calmer after a day at the Woodlands than the indoor nursery
he also attends.

Since my little boy has attended the Woodland Nursery he has come on leaps and bounds! He is such an outdoor child and this nursery is perfect for him! The staff are absolutely amazing, I couldn’t wish for anyone better to look after him! The reassurance and updates the staff give are amazing! The weekly
updates with photos to see what he’s been doing through his time is brilliant! Thank you to all the staff at the Woodland. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Little Owl Childcare, Woodland 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.976 for Little Owl Childcare, Woodland Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 Little Owl Childcare, Woodland Nursery is based on 14 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 14 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.
