About us

Hi, we’re Tammy and Amanda, Nursery Managers at Woodville.

We know that every child is unique, with their own story to tell. That’s why we ensure each child learns in a way—and at a pace—that’s just right for them. Every day at Woodville, we encourage children to be inquisitive and imaginative in our rich and stimulating learning environments. In doing so, they soon develop a real love of learning and a naturally curious mind.

Our nursery is spread across two fantastic settings.

At our Blacksmith\’s Lane site, we offer all-year-round care for children from six weeks to five years old. At our brand-new Moira Road preschool, we provide sessional care for children aged two and over.

Across both locations, we are proud of our highly experienced team, who bring a wealth of early years knowledge—including Forest School qualified educators. Each room is carefully curated to meet the developmental needs of its age group, offering inspiring and nurturing environments for every stage.

Outdoor learning is a core part of our approach. Children spend dedicated time in our outdoor areas, connecting with nature and enjoying a variety of enriching outdoor experiences.
