Woodleys Park Day Nursery

Terrible nursery. We enrolled our son in august 2022, he had just turned 3 and this was his second nursery in Northampton. We pulled him out by November that same year. We were never taken for a tour through the nursery or his room. Every time we asked for a tour they said they would do a virtual tour via call and never called us. It was never clear who his key worker was until 3 months after he had been there. There were new workers every other week and they would constantly ask my partner who he was here to collect despite him being on the collection list and even dropping our son off that same morning. After nearly 3 months the workers would say that he still plays by himself, doesnt really get involved in group activities - if there even were any. He began crying at drop off and not wanting to go to nursery. This was a red flag for us because that is not normal behaviour from him. We were never given any progression reports of his learning or anything practical about his education. It seriously felt like an expensive babysitting service. Some times when I would collect my son I would peep through the window and see staff looking MISERABLE and depressed and then once she saw me she perked up her mood. It made me angry to think that is how she would be in the room with the young children. I would NOT recommend this nursery to anyone. The only positive of being here was that he did warm up to one worker who we also really liked, Zoe. But other than her this nursery is a shambles. It only took him 1 week after being at his new nursery to settle in. 1 WEEK! Compared to the 3 months at Woodleys. He is at Childs first, Moulton and it is an incredible nursery with beautiful staff, rooms and facilities. He has been so much happier at Childs first and loves going every time.

Since my son started at woodleys park. He has adored the staff there he leaves me at the door and doesnt look back. The skills he has learnt since being there are fabulous and has come on such a long way. The new management at the nursery are fabulous and will go above and beyond to help. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
