About Us

Established in 2019, Woodlands pre-school is a term time only, nature inspired Pre-school, combining a love of nature with a fun, Pre-school learning environment from 9am – 3pm, Monday to Friday.
Woodlands pre-school came to be when one of owners, Clare, decided that she wanted to provide high quality but affordable childcare for all. With a long line of jobs within the private sector behind her, Clare knew that funded spaces didn’t always mean free spaces and therefore a lot of children were being denied an opportunity to access early education. With her ,then 2 yr old, twins in tow, Clare open Woodlands doors in Sept 2019 to 4 children. Since then Woodlands has grown from strength to strength, now having a full staffing team and having under gone a full make over inside and out. Woodlands had its first OFSTED inspection in June 2022 and achieved a “Good” result. In September Nikki the manager took a big leap and bought half the company from Clare so that Clare could follow her dream of living in Australia. Nikki now manages the Preschool on a daily basis and the preschool is going from strength to strength.
At Woodlands Pre-school, children from 2 to 5 years are able to investigate the world around them, beginning with the beautiful woodland surroundings on their doorstep. Children are encouraged to explore, investigate, and ask questions, resulting in inquisitive, knowledgeable young minds.
The staff are passionate about providing quality childcare and are dedicated to creating an opportunity rich environment for all children.
Woodlands Pre-school are dedicated to providing children with the best start to the educational journey. Whilst learning through play, we encourage all children to CREATE, LEARN AND EXPLORE.
