PARENTS have rated Woodfields Day Nursery in Bury as one of the Top 20 nurseries in the North West.

From a huge list of 1,575 early years settings, the nursery in Buckley Street has received an award from leading nursery review site, daynurseries.co.uk.

The award is based on the nursery’s reviews from the children’s families and carers. The nurseries were rated on overall standard, facilities and outside space, learning, resources and equipment.

They were also rated on ICT, care, activities, staff, food and nutrition, management, cleanliness, safeguarding and value for money.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said: “We would like to congratulate Woodfields Day Nursery on being rated by parents as a top nursery in North West England. Being chosen as one of the best nurseries by family and carers of children that attend the setting is a huge achievement.

“This year has been a huge challenge for nurseries, many of whom were offering childcare to vulnerable and keyworker children during lockdown and have now opened up fully, giving parents and children that vital return to ‘normality’.

“We hope these awards will boost the spirits of nursery staff and give parents valuable guidance in choosing the right nursery for their child.

“Reviews of our Top 20 nurseries show these settings stimulate and nurture children, enhancing their social and emotional wellbeing as well as their learning.”

Helen Lang, Deputy Nursery Manager at Woodfields Day Nursery, said:

“This year has been and is continuing to be our most challenging year yet but most of all we have had fun and the children have adapted brilliantly to so many changes to their nursery life. During the past few months we have welcomed many new families through our doors and into our ‘Woodfields Family’.

"Many of which have said they have been highly recommended from previous parents and have shared such wonderful comments with us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our families who have shared such wonderful comments and submitted these reviews and enabled us to achieve this recognition for our hard work.

"Once again thank you all very much for your continued support and positive feedback. Reading these reviews and receiving the award has been a positive boost for our team.”
