All three of my boys have attended Woodberry and they have all loved it. The staff are great and very supportive, the boys have learnt so much whilst they were there. A lot of time is spent outside which is great for boisterous boys, they are knackered when they come home!

Two children gone through this setting, with the youngest currently in the preschool group. Staff are genuinely wonderful with the children. Caring, while making their time there exciting and fun. Our daughter comes home and can't wait to tell us what she has been doing/learned each day. When there have been difficulties, the staff have always been practical and help progress solutions. Facilities are always clean, outside play area is ideal, and breakfast smells good when I drop off... they seem to manage to feed her a wider variety of food than we seem to achieve at home! Had some minor issues in the past with accounts/billing, but all got resolved, and even this has improved noticeably over the previous 12 months.

Could not recommend the nursery enough, staff and management are fantastic and my son really enjoys going and gets sad to leave. I have found no issues and feel they are extremely attentive to individual children's needs and communication and updates through the app are brilliant also getting a glimpse into my son's day when he's there and the fun activities for the children and a great outdoor space. I feel my son is having a wonderful time at Woodberry i cannot praise the current management and staff enough.

My son has only been with Woodberry for the last month and the difference I've noticed already is incredible! The staff team are knowledgeable and welcoming to everyone! They're amazing with communication and always giving enough on the app, which gives me ease when I'm working. The setting is great for the kids and lots of activities for them to do throughout the day. The on-site cook provides healthy meals for all the kids which is reassuring as a mum that he's getting the nutrients that he needs. Thank you to all the staff for all their hard work and their dedication to keeping my son safe and happy.

Our son has just completed 3 years at Woodberry and is now off to school. We have had a wonderful experience, and he has thrived, learning so much and having fun every day. The staff are wonderful, so nurturing and always planning fun activities for the children. The setting is excellent with a huge wrap-around garden, and really well-equipped rooms for each age group. The on-site cook is also great, making delicious healthy meals for the children daily. We miss Woodberry already and would recommend it to everyone!

From baby room to now preschool, my daughter has always been given amazing one-to-one care from her key worker in each room and her needs have constantly been met. Naps/food encouragement and any concerns I have ever had have been listened to without judgement - something every new mum is grateful for! The whole team are always so cheerful, friendly and caring towards the children and it shows as my daughter has always been happy to go in without any upset. Thank you Woodberry!

My daughter has been going to the nursery now for 2 years and she absolutely loves it there and so do I, the staff are amazing; supportive, and caring. Myself and my daughter have been having a very traumatic time recently and they have supported us in every way possible. My daughter has learned so much from the nursery and I couldn't be prouder. The nursery is always clean and the food always looks and smells amazing. Thank you to all the Woodberry staff you truly are amazing every single one of you! You really are the best nursery in the Waterside area I highly recommend this to parents who want to use this nursery!

Could not recommend the nursery enough, staff and management are fantastic and my daughter really enjoys going and gets sad to leave. I have found no issues and feel they are extremely attentive to individual children’s needs and communication and updates through the app are brilliant also getting a glimpse into my daughter's day when she’s there. Fun activities for the children and a great outdoor space. I feel my daughter has thrived at Woodberry and will be sad for her to leave for school in September but feel confident she will be ready. I cannot praise the current management and staff enough

Our daughter started at Woodberry just after her first birthday. We relocated and had to move her nursery a few weeks before her starting. This change in our lives for us was stressful but in relation to the nursery, the move was very smooth and we were put at ease by Woodberry and the handling of our daughter's enrolment at such short notice. Our daughter has thrived at Woodberry, we have noticed how much she has grown and developed intellectually as a person throughout her time here. She speaks so fondly of all the staff, who are very approachable and take the time to ensure you are fully informed. She is very comfortable and confident in the setting. She always comes home and is very excited to tell us about her day, what she has been doing, who she has been playing with and especially what she has had to eat! She also always comes home with beautifully done hair as well and is clean and tidy. Which gives us confidence that she is well looked after.

My daughter has really grown in confidence in the nursery. They have just changed the structure of the rooms and it is wonderful for all the children. My daughter loves the girls that look after her and we play nurseries at home and I have to be them. Initially, she struggled crying not wanting to go in and now she goes in waves goodbye and gets a good cuddle before playing with her friends. Every time I pick her up she has a smile on her face and even said for me to come back a bit later as she was about to play in the garden! There is always something new and exciting for her to do when she goes in and the activities change daily she loves her nursery.

Our daughter started at this nursery when she was a year old and she absolutely loves it. The staff are absolutely fantastic, every single person is kind and approachable and always so lovely to our daughter. Our daughter has really developed since going here. The food is wonderful, the activities are wonderful and so creative. Each day is different, I can’t recommend this nursery enough. It’s a really worrying thing picking a nursery but I am thrilled we picked here!! Huge shout out to the baby room superstars! 10/10. Recommend!

I have 2 children that attend this nursery and they are always so happy going in and thoroughly enjoy their day spent at the nursery. Staff are always friendly, caring, and go the extra mile to help the children. They have a good range of activities and brilliant outdoor space which is great for the children to run around and explore their environment. Regular updates are given throughout the day and there is excellent communication overall. I would 100% recommend Woodberry Day Nursery (Fawley).

My little boy loves nursery. He loves going every day and the staff are so patient and engaging with him. The handover at the end of the day is great so we get to hear everything he has done, eaten etc and how well he is doing. Best nursery in the area. Thank you for all you do and continue to do for him, you can tell he loves it as he smiles when you leave him there.

My child absolutely loves going to nursery here all the staff are fantastic and friendly and always helpful. Could not recommend them enough, they have a fantastic outside space and play for all the children as well as the activities and play indoors with them are fantastic.

The staff at Woodberry go above and beyond for all the children. Our daughter loves attending, she sleeps, eats and plays with no problems at all. We receive regular updates and feel confident in leaving our child with very caring, supportive and professional staff. Leaving your first child with complete strangers can be a stressful time for any parent, but from our first settle in session it has been far from it. I can't thank the team enough and the children have made incredible progress at Woodberry. Thank you to you all.

Both of our children have been attending this setting (eldest from June 2020 and youngest from January 2023). We have experienced a number of staff transitions and two ownership changes. Despite those taking place, there has been great continuity of care provided throughout with a couple of personnel that have been there many years, including the current nursery manager. There’s evidence of adaptability and flexibility around each child’s needs and preferences (e.g. sleep timings, skin care, dietary restrictions, confidence building). The facilities are of good standard with plenty of outdoor space and some flexible indoor options, including a climbing frame room and a sensory room alongside the main rooms split by age group. Daily activities are ample for each room and updates are offered to parents on pick-up and periodically observations are posted via the app. Both of our children do appear to enjoy nursery food. The costs have risen over time, but not inconsistent with alternatives.

Not bad but not great. The standards definitely dropped since under new ownership. My child used to love going to nursery but now he is much more hesitant as he is saying is not as much fun. He also eats less when there as the menu is not as exciting as it used to be for him. The place itself seems somehow more messy and unloved. Staff are attentive and friendly, but the turnover is quite high. As a result, makes it harder for children to develop a bond and trust and staff do not always have sufficient time to truly get to know a child. As a parent, I'm finding communication regarding staff changes challenging. Photos are rarely updated and names are mentioned mostly in passing at pick-up times. That said, most of the staff are lovely and my child speaks very fondly about a few of them.

My little girl loves the nursery. She talks about her day and is very happy attending and comes out smiling. She enjoys all the activities. I can see what she had done online including if she has eaten at mealtimes. The staff are very friendly and caring.
05 April 2022
I wasn't happy with my daughter's previous nursery and decided last October to move her. It was a tricky time due to the pandemic and not being able to go into the nurseries, but when restrictions started to lift we thought we would look around. Woodberry was the first out of three we were going to look at that day and as soon as we walked through the gates we knew it was going to be perfect for our daughter. Inside, the baby room is open and spacious - full of light and fresh air. Perfect setting. The girls are polite and so easy to communicate with, if you need to know anything they are always quick to respond with an answer. The app they use is fantastic! Whilst at work I receive updates on how my daughter is getting on which is a great comfort. They teach sign which has been so lovely to be able to communicate with my daughter. Her speech and understanding are incredible and she is not yet 2! Couldn't recommend enough.

Wonderful experience. Our daughter has been so well supported over the last year at Woodberry - she loves everything about her days. She has grown as a person and spends so much time talking about her day, friends and the staff. She loves the meals every day and enjoys making us guess about the different food she has had that day.
