About the Nursery

The Nursery is situated in a new purpose built, single story property within the grounds of Waingels College. There is plenty of parking for dropping off and collecting your child. We also have storage assigned for prams, pushchairs and scooters.

We have a secure outside play area with artificial grass, for children to ride bikes and scooters, play in the sand pit and enjoy a variety of different activities. We also have a nature area for children to explore and learn about growing plants and vegetables.

Our Nursery has a defibrillator in place. We believe this is such an important piece of kit to have to hand in the case of a medical emergency, all staff have received training in how to use a defibrillator.

uSports

uSports exists to provide as many children as possible the opportunity to have a positive experience with a variety of sports at a young age. We are passionate about ensuring children develop in a fun, safe and happy environment whilst educating them not only in sports but as young people. These sessions are linked to the EYFS and are thoroughly enjoyed by the children. uSports | Sports Coaching | Based In Berkshire

We like to take the children out for walks in the local area. We walk to the park in small groups or visit the local shops to buy ingredients for cooking. The children are also taken out on trips to the farm, the local theatre and the library.

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
