A place to grow

Bright Horizons Wooldale Nursery and Preschool is located on the Caroline Chisholm School site. There is convenient parking close to the nursery which allows safe drop off and collection of the children. Rated ‘Outstanding’ in our recent Ofsted visit, we offer a warm welcoming environment supporting the transition from home to nursery, and we provide excellent nutritionally-balanced menus using fresh ingredients, all prepared on site.

Our nursery has 3 spacious rooms and great outdoor space, which the children access on a daily basis. We have our own unique Ready for School Programme including Growing Readers, Writers, and Mathematicians preparing children for their transition to school. We run a Before and After School club located on the School site. Both breakfast and tea are provided and included in the fees. Children can also attend our holiday club which runs throughout the year during school holidays.

Meet the Team

Cheryl Gill

I have been working in childcare since 2000 and have worked as a Nursery Manager since 2014. I am qualified NNEB, NVQ level 4 and also hold a Foundation Degree. 
I chose childcare as a career path because I wanted to make a difference, I wanted a career I could be proud of and which would allow me to make a difference to children’s lives every day.


Manisha Patel

I have been with Bright Horizons since 2012 and have been working in childcare for over 16 years. I started at Bright Horizons Little Gems before coming to Wooldale Nursery and Preschool for a new challenge.

 I have a BA Learning & Teaching Degree level 6 and level 6 EYP. I have always enjoyed the company of children because of their inquisitive minds and their sense of humour. Seeing children meet their mile stones gives me satisfaction in my job.
