Please note: Due to high demand we are not taking any new booking until at least March 2023. We understand how difficult it is to leave your child in someone elses care.
Everyone at Wolds Childcare is extremely proud of the high-quality service we offer and as such we are confident that you will be delighted with the daycare your child receives.
The proprietor of Wolds Childcare Ltd is Karen Richards.
We have settings at Normanton-on-the-Wolds, Stragglethorpe and Willow Brook Primary School, Keyworth.
We are registered and approved with Ofsted to provide care and education for children aged between 6 weeks and 8 years.
Our aim is to provide a secure and homely environment for your child whilst maintaining a relaxed and happy family atmosphere where children feel comfortable and safe.
Since day one of our daughter starting at the nursery we have always felt relaxed and happy with leaving her with such lovely staff.
The staff put the children first with healthy home cooked meals and snacks, outstanding development and of course having lots fun from messy play, baking to dancing.
The outdoor space is perfect with fields and homemade obstacles, they take the children out to see local farm animals and to explore the wildlife, I have always been blown away by what our daughter as achieved at a youngayoung and this is all thanks to the amazing staff, I visited many nursery before this one and straight away I could tell this is a special place, no broken or dirty toys and such a bright happy environment, if you are looking at nurse you need to visit The Wolds Day Nursery you will not be disappointed!.
We cannot speak highly enough of The Wolds.
Sadly, our little boy will not be returning to the nursery after lockdown due to his selfish parents moving house!
But we wanted to say a huge thank you to every one of the incredible members staff at this lovely nursery.
When we became parents, we looked at the cost of nurseries and, in honesty, worried about whether the expense was truly justified/worth it.
Now that we have experienced The Wolds, we know that it was worth every penny.
The progress our son made whilst at The Wolds was amazing and I know that your team is hugely responible for the lovely little boy that he has become.
I wont list all of the colleagues that have cared for him (for fear of missing someone out), but the ladies that looked after our Ben, most notably his key workers and Wendy, the wonderful chef that catered to his allergies in the early days, are people well be thankful for forever.
You are absolutely amazing at your jobs and I hope you feel proud of the positive influence you are having on the lives of so many young people (and that of their parents!).
We are going to miss The Wolds and feel so sad that we didnt get to say a proper goodbye to thank you for everything that youve done.
If youre a new parent and youre reading this whilst trying to decide which nursery to send your child to - send them here.
