About the Nursery

The Nursery is situated in a quiet residential area of Woodley. We occupy a two story Tudor building with a large secure outside space to the rear. The children can ride bikes, play in the sand pit and enjoy a range of different activities on the private and spacious artificial grassed lawn. The children also receive weekly sports coaching and a music and movement session.

In2Sports

The children have a chance to learn to play football, rugby, cricket and all kinds of athletics with Dave, our fully qualified In2Sport coach. Dave teaches the children to work as a team and he also allows them to develop their own individual skills whilst having fun and being active. The sessions are linked in to the EYFS.

Elibah School of Dance

These sessions are run by Miss Kali who adopts an energetic and fun approach whilst ensuring an encouraging and stimulating environment. This is achieved through letting the children have some freedom to share ideas and be creative. They simply LOVE it!

We take the children out for walks in the local community and together we visit the local shops to buy ingredients for cooking activities. The children are also taken out on trips to the farm and local theatre.

Testimonials

Woodley Gardens Day Nursery has been amazing from day one. My son settled in much quicker than at a previous childcare provider, which put us a ease and made us feel that all his needs were met and exceeded, he even takes naps. My son loves his key worker and all the staff. I actually look forward to him going as I know he’ll do something fun like go to the park or do water play, that he doesn’t get to do at home. He’s learnt lots already like feeding himself and drawing. All the children are treated as individuals and all the staff are dedicated and caring. My son has food allergies and these are catered for without a problem. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend woodley gardens day nursery. It has made my return to work much less stressful.

We made the decision to relocate our son from another nursery to Woodley Gardens Day Nursery. We were nervous about this decision but the staff made us all feel so welcome right from our first visit. With their support our son settled in very quickly and now he absolutely loves going to his “new nursery”! WGDN provides a clean, high quality and homely environment for the children with a great range of activities to enjoy each day, as well as plenty of time spent in the garden. We are delighted with the nursery and would certainly recommend it

My little one loves his days at nursery and is always asking when his next day at nursery will be. Staff are so friendly, approachable and helpful and have helped our son settle into nursery seamlessly. We would thoroughly recommend this nursery
