I can not thank the ladies enough in my child's room. We were so worried about him settling in but he loves everyone of them. Everyone has been so welcoming and supportive.
At his previous child minders we were told nearly every day that he had been naughty or been a nightmare but he hasn't been like
that here and it just shows how amazing the ladies are.
The set up in the room is great and the outdoor area has loads for kids to do.
Thank you.

Woodlands House is a lovely nursery, both my kids have attended since babies and my youngest is still there in the pre-school. Staff are really friendly and they do some great activities with them. My son is loving the reading book he brings home each week which they have just introduced

Pre-School. My son loves his time at nursery, playing with friends, engaging with staff and all the fun and interesting things they do. I love seeing what he's got up to on the app and to be updated on what he's eaten and how much. I love that the staff go out of their way to reassure children in a
morning that do get upset about the parent leaving as my son is one of these children. They take him to the window to wave goodbye to me which makes him and me feel better.

My daughter is three years old and attends Woodlands. Originally when she started she was very shy, and would always cry. As her time grew, I have seen her grow more confident. She is always happy when I drop her off, and loves to tell me everything about her day when I pick her up - she does a lot!
There is always some sort of activity set up, that has some sort of educational value for the children and they have now introduced a reading book which I think is great as it is slowly getting my daughter ready for when she starts big school! The girls in the pre-school room are all great, they have a lovely warm energy and no issue is ever too small. It really is a great environment for your young ones to grow, and I will be sending my little boy there when I go back to work!

Reply from Erin Lowe, Family Care Team at Partou Woodlands House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Me and my wife find the overall experience our son has at Woodlands to be excellent. We have only used Woodlands but if there is a better nursery in the local area I'd be amazed. The staff are caring, understanding and simply great at what they do. My son is never upset to be going to the nursery and
he takes great pleasure in telling us what he has been doing. I would like to put in writing just how much we appreciate the work your staff do at Woodlands and how much they care for and educate my little boy.


What I also find to be a real strength is how staff from the different rooms still have a real bond and relationship with my son which I'm sure goes a long way to making him feel safe and enjoying his time at nursery.

Both my boys absolutely love Woodlands House. The staff are amazing and have great bonds with both of them. Both of them have come on leaps and bounds. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. I get excited to pick them up to find out what new activity they have done and love seeing the photos and watching
their progress on the secure app. They have learnt so much. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

My grandson has been attending the nursery for the last 9 months and he has loved it, settled and developed very well. He loves the staff. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. It's like a little family. They do lots of varied activities and it gives the
children a chance to explore things and get involved. Builds their confidence. The nursery are very flexible and accommodating as one of my grandson's parent is a public service worker and works shifts so my grandson's sessions vary week by week. I would highly recommend you consider this nursery.

My daughter has loved being here since September. Even though she’s shy she loves going and always tells me who she likes. The staff always update me on anything that’s happened at the end of the day. She has progressed a lot with her speech since starting and is now starting to learn to write her name.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Partou Woodlands House Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.955 for Partou Woodlands House Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.955

  • 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 4.878 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Woodlands House Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 13 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.878

  • 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.

Charlotte Hargreaves

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2008

ABOUT ME:
I started at Woodlands House in 2008, aged 16 years old, as an apprentice where I have worked my way up whilst gaining qualifications in childcare.


In my previous position as deputy manager, I regularly stepped up to the position of acting manager whilst also assuming the position at other Just Childcare settings. I pride myself in being a go-to person for support and have used my experience to support various managers throughout recent years.

WHY CHILDCARE?
My mum used to be a childminder which means I have always been around children since a very young age. What’s more, my older sister worked in a nursery where I would often help during school holidays.


I love seeing children develop and have fun. Being able to watch the children grow into the little characters they become makes my job priceless.


INTERESTS & HOBBIES:
I enjoy being on the go and always keeping busy whether that be going on holiday, meeting new people, camping in my tent, or simply heading on a walk.


My regular hobbies usually involve my dogs Lyla and Maya. I’m club captain/ head trainer at Calverley Chasers Fly Ball team where I compete regularly in national competitions and I also take them to sniffer dog training. Alongside all this, I have a little side business called ‘Let’s get Tuggie’, where I make individual canine enrichment toys from scratch.
