My daughter has come on really well at this nursery in terms of development and she trusts 1 member of staff very well as she is quite shy at nursery. The nursery is very friendly and are very good at doing handovers and explaining what my child has been up to during the day. All staff at the nursery
are very polite and friendly always willing to help if needed with support for my child. Would thoroughly recommend to any parents.

My daughter thrives in the nursery setting, the staff are brilliant with the kids they always have been. She has developed so much confidence and become more independent since attending. My little boy attended prior to my daughter and he also loved every minute. The kids are always being challenged
with new learning opportunities and always having fun. Couldn’t have picked a better early years setting.

Nursery do such a wide variety of activities with the children, the fact they ask what the children like and theme activities around this is great, the children are really given the options to be creative and explore. In my experience the staff let the children lead and I really like this approach.
The food menu and variety is great. Nursery do so many themed days and really allow the children to be themselves and support them. No matter the weather the children always get to go outside and play. I feel comfortable leaving my little one and know that she is settled and well looked after. I am provided with regular updates, including pictures and videos on the learning book app which is great, along with parents' evenings and a daily update when my little one attends.

When looking around the nursery all members of staff were polite and informative and able to answer any question I had. Since my child has started this has not changed and I am provided with a report at the end of every day so I know what my little one has been up to. It's a lovely, friendly environment
for the children with a wide variety of activities to help with learning and development.

My son has settled in so well at Woodlands. The staff are so caring and friendly. I visited other nurseries, but my husband and I got such a good vibe here. The preschool learning space is spacious, bright and airy.
What I found particularly lovely is that the staff really show an interest in the
children's personal interests and base learning activities around these. If my son is ever feeling a little shy when he first arrives, the staff quickly take him to his favourite dinosaur, and he feels at ease straight away.
It is great to see the activities my son takes part in on LearningBook. He has also flourished and become much more independent since attending Woodlands. He is now able to dress himself, as well as put on his own coat and shoes. Thank you!

My child has been coming to the Nursery now for eighteen months and I have to say she loves it.
She talks about the other children and staff all day long and to me, that speaks volumes! I always feel assured that she is in the safest hands, and communication between the team and parents is excellent
also.

Excellent nursery with amazing staff! My little boy has been going to Woodlands House day nursery for almost a year now and he looks forward to going each day, he even asks to go on non-nursery days. The activities provided are very varied and enjoyable and I love being able to see his photos in his
learning book. He is very well looked after and loves each member of staff. Definitely the best nursery around!

Amazing nursery. My little boy loves attending nursery and has come on leaps and bounds since he started. All the workers are friendly, welcoming and caring and it's like being part of a huge family. It feels like you are walking into a huge hug when you arrive and feel the same when you leave.

My daughter loves coming to nursery. Always greeted with happy, smiling faces from both staff and children. It is such a lovely comforting environment. She enjoys coming home and talking about what she has learnt and activities she has done throughout the day.

My little boy started Woodlands House Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Bradford in December. He loves it! The activities the staff do around their learning and development are amazing. They are always updating us with photographs (on learning book) every time he has been to nursery and I can see
from the photos he is having lots of fun. The staff in the baby room are so friendly, welcoming and we know he is in good hands, would highly recommend this nursery.

My son started at Woodlands House Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Bradford in the baby room and is now in pre-school. He has enjoyed his time at the nursery. The staff are friendly and very helpful, they are very inclusive and have helped my son with his communication needs. The nursery has a lovely
outdoor space for the children to enjoy and the team provides well thought out activities to encourage learning through play.

Excellent nursery with friendly and helpful staff. Two of my children attend and they are both very happy and settled. They organise all sorts of fun and relevant activities for the children, for example, this weekend will be joining in with a race for life event that has been arranged. I would highly
recommend Woodlands House.

When it came to looking for a nursery for my daughter it was a no-brainer that it would be Woodlands House.
My son who is now 9 attended the nursery from being 5 months old up until he started reception in school.
It was amazing to see that some of the same staff still worked here which goes to
show what a lovely nursery this is. It truly says something to be able to retain staff for so long!
All of the girls are welcoming and kind. They understand how it can feel to leave your child at nursery and are there to support you all the way. They communicate well and show an interest in your child.
The nursery itself is spacious and the children are kept active and engaged through all kinds of different activities. Activities your child enjoys at home are emphasised within nursery which I think is great. The nursery has a football coach who comes to see the children which I think is a lovely perk. Don't hesitate to go have a look for yourself!
Thank you, everyone.

Best nursery ever! Very friendly staff and the fact that my little boy doesn’t want to leave this place at home time says it all. The best part is the communication between parents and the staff. They work on every little thing parents are concerned about. My son has only been in the nursery for 6 months
but loves every single bit of it and looks forward to going there every morning.

I am so pleased that I chose this nursery for my son. He is in the baby room and goes 3.5 days a week since January. He settled in really quickly and bonded with all of the staff.
I can see from the photos on the app and his general disposition when I pick him up that he has a wonderful time there.
They always manage to do such creative activities that I wouldn't think of at home. He also eats really well at nursery and often has two helpings of dinner!
The focus on "education" at this early stage is just the right balance for me, as a former teacher myself. They follow the Early Years curriculum so that there's structure and reasoning behind the activities and assessments, without it feeling too judgemental or restrictive. I am reassured by our key worker's sense of my son's general development.
This is generally a fantastic nursery and I would recommend it to anyone.

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.
