welcome to our website

Woodentots Nursery opened in 1996 in response to the growing need for daily childcare required within the establishment and offers full day care for up to 90 children, aged 3 months to 5 years for Service Personnel, MOD Civilians, Flagship Employees and other contractors working on the base.

Set in four large buildings within the grounds of HMS Collingwood, the nursery offers a homely environment for the very young, whilst toddlers and older children continue their great learning adventure with the support and security, which is essential at this time.

We all benefit from the large enclosed garden which provides safe and stimulating outdoor play.

We aim to provide a warm, caring environment where children feel secure, happy and confident. We will encourage the children in our care to develop at their own pace, both socially and emotionally. Our pride is in the individuality of our children.

We aim to ensure that each child:

is in a safe and stimulating environment;

is given generous care and attention, because of our ratio of qualified staff to children, as well as staff training towards a childcare qualification;

has the chance to join with other children and adults to live, play, work and learn together;

is helped to take forward her/his learning and development by being helped to build on what she/he already knows and can do;

has a personal key person who makes sure each child makes satisfying progress;

is in a setting that sees parents as partners in helping each child to learn and develop; and

is in a setting in which parents help to shape the service it offers.

Parents are regarded as members of our setting who have full participatory rights. These include a right to be:

valued and respected;

kept informed;

consulted;

involved; and

included at all levels.

Childcare Vouchers

(Salary Sacrifice Scheme)

Childcare Vouchers help working parents afford quality childcare. Each parent can save between £903.00 and £1,196 a year on the cost of childcare, simply by paying their childcare provider in vouchers instead of cash.

You can receive up to £243.00 a month in childcare vouchers from your employer, unlike your salary; you don’t have to pay any tax or national insurance on the vouchers—this is where the saving is made!

Both parents can benefit from childcare vouchers, so you can both sign up to double your savings!

The nursery is registered with all nursery voucher providers including:
