Outstanding for the 12th year running

We are thrilled to share that on 29th July 2025, Woodend Country Childcare was once again awarded an Outstanding rating by Ofsted, a result we’ve now proudly held for 12 consecutive years.

This achievement means the world to us, and it simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible team behind it. A heartfelt thank you to our qualified, experienced and dedicated team of 15, your care, commitment and passion for the children is what makes Woodend the special place it is.

We’d also like to thank all our parents, past and present, for the trust and support you’ve shown us over the years. And to all our little stars, thank you for being the reason we do what we do. You help us shine every single day.
