Welcome to Woodland Corner

Affordable, high quality education in a wonderful environment

Specifically designed to be modern and attractive, yet ecologically responsible. In this environment your child is guaranteed to thrive and develop, having a head start for the world they will face when they grow up.

Care

Our experienced staff provide high-quality care to all our children, forging strong bonds with them and helping them to learn and thrive. All children are appreciated, and diversity is valued.

Education

We tailor our activities to meet children’s individual needs and interests, with an emphasis on learning through play. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage to provide a seamless transition to Reception.

Our daughters are always excited on the mornings when they realise that they’ll be attending Woodland Corner after school. They’re always in a fantastic mood when we pick them up. They were also so proud to show us the recently-completed extension with its wonderful immersive view of the adjacent glade which is home to muntjac deer amongst other wildlife. They wish every day could be a Woodland Corner day!

My child had an amazing time at Pre-School, always running to the front door and eager to get in and see you all. This is down to you all and how much love you show her – so thank you! She has learned so much from you all and with your help is now ready for big school! Thank you for all the work you have done with Mary and all the children in your care.

Dear Cheryl and the team – Thank you all for everything you have done for my daughter during her time at Woodland Corner. She has really enjoyed her sessions, especially the multi sports, yoga and music. She has grown a lot in confidence and her time with you has set her up very well for starting school.
