Woodlands Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Goole 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 September 2023. Open since 1997, with 48 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 East Riding of Yorkshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in East Riding of Yorkshire 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 are happy in this nursery setting. Staff create a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment for children. They place a high priority on forming strong attachments with children when they first start. This helps children to develop a sense of belonging and good emotional well-being.
Children approach their learning and play with confidence and enthusiasm. They benefit from an interesting, ambitious and thoughtfully planned curriculum of learning. Staff provide opportunities and experiences that help children to develop skills in all areas of their learning. For example, staff use children's love of books to extend their learning. Children are delighted to act out one of their favourite stories by going on a bear hunt in the outside area. They use familiar lines from the story as they explore mud, water and grass. All children make good progress in their learning.
Children behave extremely well. Staff are excellent role models and always treat children with respect and kindness. They speak to children in a calm, respectful and caring manner. Children remember and follow rules, such as waiting patiently for their turn. Staff consistently praise children for their efforts, achievements and positive behaviour. This helps to build children's self-esteem and confidence.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - consider ways to strengthen the interactions between staff and children during free play outside to extend children's learning opportunities even further n strengthen how staff practice is monitored, to provide relevant support and improve staff's knowledge of working with different age groups of children.

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.
