What our Parents say…

β€œI want to express how incredibly fond we are of the nursery and all of the staff members within Enchanted Wood. It is such an overwhelming feeling trusting others to care for your children when returning to work after maternity leave, but I can honestly say the twins settled in straight away. They quickly built strong connections, and trust was established from very early on. This is all down to the impeccable staff within Enchanted Wood.” 

Rebecca Sewell, July 2026

β€œUnder the compassionate and knowledgeable leadership of the SENCO, our son has benefitted from early access to additional support and tailored interventions after it became apparent that he had additional needs. We have been deeply moved by the attentive care all staff have shown to our child  to help him achieve his full potential, and by the inclusive approach fostered by Enchanted Wood's leadership, which we believe truly supports every child. This represents the very best of early years provision, putting children at the heart of everything they do, involving parents at every opportunity, and fostering a nurturing environment for both pupils and staff.”

Laura, July 2026

β€œ'The team have been warm, professional and informative in each stage of our son's experience at the nursery so far. We also really appreciate the enriching activities the nursery run from Jo Jingles to special events like Easter egg hunts and other ways for families to come visit the children in the setting. This has really helped build a sense of community within the nursery, and our son has developed and grown in confidence throughout his journey at enchanted wood.”

Jessica Winkle, July 2026

β€œAll three of my children have attended Enchanted Wood, with my youngest, currently there. They are three very different children, with very different personalities, strengths and needs. Having experienced the setting across three children, different cohorts and a number of years has allowed me to see not only the quality of its provision, but the consistency of that quality over time.

Professionally, I know what high-quality early years practice looks like. As a mother, I know something equally important: what it feels like when the adults caring for your child truly know them. Enchanted Wood achieves both.

The curriculum is ambitious, responsive and genuinely child-centred. It continually evolves around the interests, fascinations and developmental needs of the children while maintaining clear educational purpose and breadth.”
