My son loves going to nursery he has a great bond with the girls who look after him and I know he is 100% in safe hands when I drop him off. He has come on so much attending nursery with his speech and learning different things. Cannot recommend this nursery enough so glad I chose it for my son

I struggled massively with going back to work due to having to consider external childcare, I didn’t want to leave my daughter with anyone other than family. We done some research and then went to visit Park Wood, we immediately felt comfortable, it has such a homely atmosphere, and your worries are
quickly put at ease. No question was too silly, and the staff have always been lovely, I can tell my little girl loves it because she runs in. The food menu is great, and her meat-free diet is accommodated. I would highly recommend Park Wood day nursery.

Park Wood is a wonderful place and we are very happy with all aspects of nursery. Our daughter skips in every time and is a very happy and content child there. The nursery is very well resourced and has a bright and airy environment. The outdoor area and Forest School are amazing!


The staff are

all very friendly and welcoming and are extremely attentive. Our daughter has some complex medical conditions and the staff’s attention to her needs are second to none. They’re very aware and inform us of even the slightest observation that may be important.


Well done everyone at Park Wood. You will be missed after the Summer!

The staff at Park Wood are absolutely wonderful in their professionalism and care for the children. Their patience helping my daughter settle in and get used to her new environment was outstanding. The opportunities for outdoor play and exploration occurs daily and my daughter loves the new soft play
room. The environment is calm and there is a large variety of daily activities and toys for her to use and develop with. Each child is treated as an individual.

Our son has settled in really well at Park Wood. He clearly enjoys the outdoor playtime and the creative activities that the nursery put on.
The Owl Track website for parents to observe their childs progress is fantastic, we really enjoy having a sneak peak at what he's been up to. His key worker has
been brilliant in putting together a programme to support our son in any areas where he's behind for his age group. This early intervention has seen him really come on leap and bounds and catch up with his peers. Thank you!

Fantastic nursery. After viewing several nurseries in the area I decided on Park Wood Private Day Nursery as I got a very good feeling about the place. My little boy absolutely loves the place and gets so excited when he knows he is going there. I love the fact that it’s very outdoorsy as my son loves
getting out in the fresh air. Never had a problem and can’t recommend the place enough.

My daughter attended Park Wood 10 years ago and I couldn't fault the nursery it's setting or the staff.
I have now enrolled my toddler into Parkwood as I am more than satisfied with the continued level of provision.
All staff are friendly, approachable and are really interested in you and your child.
The
setting is not near busy roads but facing wonderful woodland settings which means cleaner air for when little ones outdoors and safe driving in and out of nursery premises.
I like the way the children move through the classes, each with its woodland theme name, and knowing that they're moving up with their friends and in age-appropriate classes is brilliant for their development.
The outdoor space is fantastic for the children and safe and secure.
I love to look at my child's diary each evening and get to know what they did, what they ate etc.
Most of all I think the staff fully support parents and children.

Lovely nursery. The staff are always polite and helpful. The lady in badgers is a firm favourite in our house, as my daughter's key worker she has been great. An update is always given at the end of the day and she always had time for any questions. My daughter has recently moved into the Owls and she’s
starting to settle in so a very big thank you to my daughter's keyworker and the staff in badgers for making her time in that room so wonderful. The nursery is well run and I am always kept updated. The food always looks good and my daughter is always happy when I collect her.

I was very picky when selecting a nursery for my son but I am 100% happy I chose Park Wood.
They make a big effort in ensuring my son is happy and enjoying himself. I love that he comes home with his artwork and tells me he has had a fun day.
The staff are very friendly and approachable, always going
the extra mile and it's nice I can ring or email anytime to ask a question to see how my son is getting on.
The food is all home cooked and shows a balanced diet.
The staff ensure different activities are offered to help with development and I really like that no matter the weather they are outside having fun!
Thank you to everyone who helps to ensure my son is safe, happy and having lots of fun!

We love this nursery, they've been so supportive of our son as he's grown and matured, he loves coming here and they support the family as a whole too making childcare something we didn't have to worry about when expecting another child. They are flexible with hours and days, the food is great, there's
always something interesting that the kids are learning about and fun activities arranged. Christmas was fantastic! Such a lovely welcoming place I recommend it all the time!!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Partou Park Wood Day Nursery & Forest School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.906 for Partou Park Wood Day Nursery & Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.906

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Park Wood Day Nursery & Forest School is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 82 number of registered child places is 16.4, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
