The setting
A new nursery on Headley Road, Woodley
Our new nursery is taking shape at Astra House on Headley Road, in the middle of Woodley and within easy reach of Earley, Charvil, Sonning, Twyford, and Reading.
The rooms
Separate spaces for babies, toddlers, and preschool
The building is being fitted out with distinct rooms for each age stage, so babies get calm and quiet while preschoolers get room for noisier, more physical play.
Every room is built on the same principles: resources at child height, natural materials, clear areas for different kinds of play, and enough space that children can concentrate without being interrupted.
- Age-separated rooms rather than one shared space
- Child-height, open-access storage
- Quiet corners for children who need them
- Space designed for sustained, uninterrupted play
Coming soonOutdoors
Outdoor time every day
Outdoor provision is part of the design, not an add-on. Children need to move, take sensible physical risks, and be outside in weather that is not perfect.
Details of the outdoor space are being confirmed as the fit-out progresses, and we will show families round as soon as it is safe to do so.
Getting here
Built around the way Woodley parents actually travel
Parents choose a nursery on the drop-off route as much as on the postcode. Headley Road works for families heading towards Thames Valley Park, Winnersh Triangle, or the A4 and A3290 into Reading.
Twyford and Reading stations are both a short drive, which matters for parents commuting into London on the Elizabeth line or Great Western services.
Questions families ask
Useful answers before you visit
Every child and attendance plan is different. Bring the details that matter to you, and we will give you a clear answer.
Ask the nursery teamWhere exactly is the Woodley nursery?
Unit 4, Astra House, 86-88 Headley Road, Woodley, Reading. The full postcode and arrival instructions will be confirmed before opening.
Is there parking for drop-off?
Parking and drop-off arrangements are being confirmed as part of the fit-out. We will publish clear arrival instructions before the first families start.
What will the rooms look like?
The rooms are still being fitted out, so the photos on this site are illustrative rather than of the building itself. We will replace them with real photos, and invite registered families to look round, as soon as the rooms are finished.
Can I look round before it opens?
Yes, once the building is safe for visitors. Register your interest and we will invite you as soon as visits begin.
