My little girl has been coming to the setting for 7 months. She is very settled and loves the nursery. All the staff make her feel welcome in the mornings.
The manager is great and the settling-in process was really easy. Seeing my child happy and settled makes me happy.

The nursery is an amazing setting for my daughter. She loves the staff and all the children there. The nursery also put on a lovely Christmas do for the under 2's. Everyone was involved. The staff are very friendly and very supportive with any decisions. They are willing to make time for every parent
to ensure the children and parents are happy.

Woodberry Day Nursery in Waterlooville was the first nursery we visited as quite nervous first time parents thinking ahead of our girl starting her nursery journey, the moment I went in I felt a homely warmth and my girl was super happy and playful in the environment.
It took her a couple of weeks
to adjust and get settled but she now loves it and talks about her room staff and friends all the time.
As a bilingual household, our daughter spoke no English at the point of joining the setting, the staff were INCREDIBLY accommodating, learnt a few words to be able to communicate and comfort her but most importantly we could see the individual thought and care into her learning this new normal and language. We are beyond thankful she's now thriving in her routine, language and overall development, as well as constantly talking about how much fun she has at nursery.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at Woodberry Day Nursery (Waterlooville) Ltd

Thank you for sharing your experience of Woodberry Waterlooville Day Nursery! It's wonderful to hear how welcoming the team are and how they thoughtfully supported your daughter's transition, especially as a bilingual learner.

I can not recommend this nursery enough. My son started here when he turned one and he's now coming up to two and a half. The staff are incredible and have been a massive part of his development. He's formed a great bond with the staff here which is so nice to see. They have also helped us with things
we can do at home to help him develop. For example, activities to help encourage communication.


The activities the children take part in and the food they are provided is excellent. Most importantly, my son absolutely loves going here and we feel comfortable leaving him (which is always a worry for new parents).

I cannot praise Woodberry enough for their amazing service and care for my son. He had a tricky time at a previous nursery so we decided to move him and he has settled in so well. He has a close bond with a few staff members and they all do amazing work with all the children. The manager is also really
lovely and approachable and great at keeping us up to date on all changes. I get daily updates on my son's eating and toileting and some photographs through the app which is amazing. Thank you so much, Woodberry.

My husband and I found this nursery after moving nearby and one of our children started at Woodberry at 18 months. We have been so impressed with how her development has improved in such a short period of time and she is happy and enjoys her time here very much making lots of friends and having the
support and care from the wonderful team here. When we had our son I felt totally at ease for him to start and very relaxed about it knowing he will be well cared for. Highly recommend this nursery and thank you to the lovely team that do such a fab job!

My experience at Woodberry has been amazing. I met the team during my pregnancy to discuss my childcare needs and they kept in touch right up until she started. My daughter has been attending since she was 3 months old and I can honestly say that it's been a home-from-home experience - which has meant
a very content baby and a happy mummy.
The nursery manager has been there for us as a family from the beginning, she's been flexible with our needs and above all else, has put the needs of our daughter first. The team in the baby room and her key worker in particular are considered as family and we couldn't speak more highly of them. Our daughter has just turned one and I'm so grateful to the team at Woodberry for giving my daughter the best first year a baby could wish for.
If you are looking for a nursery where your child will be loved and looked after and spoilt for choice in terms of activities, then look no further.
Thank you to you all.

My kids love coming here. They have gone from baby room and toddler to just about to go to school and preschool. The team are great. There have been changes along the way but worked hard to keep continuity and consistency. The school leavers just did their graduation yesterday and the girls worked so
hard to make it great and put a lot of time in their memory bag. Loved it.
Well done team.

This a fantastic nursery. My daughter started recently following my return to work and I couldn't have found a more welcoming and friendly place. The staff are all so lovely and the nursery itself is brilliant. The rooms are great, there are loads of activities, access to a garden area and great food.
I would highly recommend this nursery to others.

We placed our son in here when I returned to work and I can honestly say from the beginning it has been amazing, we had a few separation issues but I rested assured every minute that he was fine and never had to worry. He loves going there and I am kept up to date with every movement, what he eats and
when he sleeps. I feel 100% at ease and would recommend this nursery to anyone! It's immaculate. Thank you to the team at Waterlooville Woodberry Day Nursery, as parents we are so thankful to you for supporting us whilst we have to work and knowing our child is safe and loved as one of their own!

My child absolutely loves going to nursery every day, that speaks volumes if not for anything else!
The staff are reliable and friendly and my child talks about them and the activities they have done a lot at home.
The app is great also for keeping up to date with what's going on, what they are eating,
drinking, doing and learning.
My child has come on leaps and bounds in confidence and I cannot thank you all enough!

My son started at Woodberry Day Nursery in April ahead of me starting back at work in May. Both he and I found it very difficult to be apart in the initial days, however, it became clear very quickly that he thoroughly enjoyed his time there. Which in turn made it a lot easier to leave him.
Now when
we arrive in the morning he is visibly excited to be there. The staff greet us every morning with excitement and a warm welcome. I genuinely look forward to picking him up and finding out how his day has been and what everyone has been up to.
The app is a huge bonus as I can check in on his meals, bottles and sleep throughout the day without having to be the annoying parent calling all the time and the weekly updates and pictures of the children's activities genuinely make my day when they are posted.
In summary, we love Woodberry Day Nursery and hugely appreciate the love, care and attention they devote.

I cannot fault Woodberry Day Nursery, my son has been going here for the past year and we could not be happier. He absolutely loves it and does so much every day, we are able to keep up to date with all he has been up to which is really reassuring. The staff are always helpful, caring and their communication
is excellent, they are also really helpful when we have to add an extra day last minute and I honestly cannot thank them enough for providing such good care and fun for my little boy.

Woodberry Day Nursery has been fantastic since my daughter joined up in January. The staff there are welcoming, kind and pro-active. The nursery facilities are amazing and having onsite healthy and nutritious meals, saves me so much time and gives me peace of mind that she is eating healthily. The app
is fab. We get regular live updates and pictures of what our daughter is up to. She gets involved with lots of activities. She has told me how much she really enjoys it at nursery too and she is fond of the staff. I would absolutely recommend this place.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.667)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.667) out of 10 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Waterlooville) Ltd 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.962 for Woodberry Day Nursery (Waterlooville) Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.962

  • 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 4.705 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodberry Day Nursery (Waterlooville) Ltd is based on 11 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.705

  • 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.
