We send our 3 year old Son to wildwood & It has been satisfying experience so far . Staff is very cooperative & the Manager Ms Alka listens & acknowledge each & every feedback. We don't have to worry once we leave our kid behind even if he cries a bit , knowing that he will be taken care off. Occasional Hits & misses are a part of every affair & that's understandable. We have seen positive change in our Son with this childcare admission. Five star.
