Sheffield Woodland Kindergarten ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Sheffield for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2023. Open since 2015, with 34 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Sheffield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sheffield from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children and babies are warmly welcomed by a friendly and nurturing staff team.
They develop trusting relationships with the staff who care for them. Staff support children to understand their emotions exceptionally well. They teach children to consider the feelings of their friends and find respectful solutions. This helps children to feel safe and secure.
Children benefit from a much-improved curriculum that gives children the skills and knowledge for their future learning. Staff provide stimulating activities and experiences in the outdoor environment. This helps to provide children with an understanding and value of nature. For example, children wiggle their fingers as they talk about the birds and squirrels that live in the trees and the worms and insects that live in the earth. Children learn to take care of the planet by recycling and using natural products. Children make good progress in their learning, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to implement the new procedures for information sharing between staff, with regards to children's next step in learning and any interventions that may be required to ensure that children make even better progress.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
