Forbury Gardens Day Nursery opened in 1991, Berkeley Gardens Day Nursery opened in 2011, Newbury Gardens Day Nursery in 2013 and Woodley Gardens Day Nursery opened in 2017. More recently we have also opened a new nursery on the grounds of Waingels College, Waingels Gardens Day Nursery.
Woodley Gardens Day Nursery is a privately run Nursery offering high quality professional childcare for families in Reading and the surrounding areas.
The Nursery is located in Woodley, on the east side of Reading, with easy access to the M4, A329 and Reading town centre. We care for children from 3 months to 5 years and we are open 51 weeks of the year from 8 am- 6pm. Monday – Friday. Full and Part time places are available.
‘Our ethos is to create an environment where children are engaged, motivated, independent thinkers, who have a positive attitude to learning, supported by secure and respectful relationships. We only have one chance to get it right for our children and what we do now, stays with them for the rest of their lives.’
Our best resource is our dedicated and passionate practitioners, we devote time to training our apprentices to becoming fully qualified Nursery Nurses, our supportive managers develop individual training plans for our employees for their continued professional development throughout their training and beyond.
Our senior Nursery Nurses and room leaders are qualified Nursery Nurses with a certificate in First Aid and either a National Nursery Examination Board Certificate (NNEB), B-Tec National Diploma, NVQ level 3 in Childcare, Early Years Educator (EYE) or DCE Level 3 in Childcare and Education. They will usually have received two years professional training with practical experience in a day nursery, primary school, the home, hospital and special care centres.
We aim for our practitioners to continue to progress within in our nursery and we support them in their career development. With an enthusiastic and hard working team we aim to achieve the best possible outcomes for the children in our care.
