  • Partou Lidgett Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School, Leeds
Partou Lidgett Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School in Gledhow provides high-quality care and education for babies and children up to the age of five. The nursery is a single-storey setting, with cosy but stimulating playrooms for different age groups and a range of exciting outdoor areas.

There is a strong focus on ‘loose part play’ throughout the setting, using natural resources and real-life objects in place of plastic toys. This approach is used to encourage children to be curious about the world around them, inspiring them to have fun learning in beautiful surroundings.

The nursery’s experienced childcare practitioners hold childcare qualifications, paediatric first aid certificates and safeguarding training. Every team member has enhanced DBS checks and the nursery has CCTV and secure door entry systems for added security.

They offer a wide range of learning activities covering all aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Children also go on regular trips into Gledhow and Roundhay, including the nearby Roundhay Park and Tropical World.

15 and 30 Hours Funded Childcare places are available for eligible families.

The team are so proud of their nursery. Call to make an appointment and take a closer look at everything they have to offer.

My son has been attending this nursery since the start of the January term. I was apprehensive at the start as I was not sure how he would settle in, but the staff have been nothing but fantastic in helping making this process easier for us. We get regular updates throughout the day and overall feedback
at the end of the day when we go to collect him. Overall, he is settling in very well, showing signs of development and enjoys all the activities they offer especially playing outside! The staff are really lovely, welcoming and very friendly and the management is fantastic!

We have seen a noticeable improvement in the recent care at the nursery since the issues over the last two years. Things can go exceptionally well when long-standing staff are on a shift, but there isn't a deputy who would take on responsibilities in the same way. There is more concern for value for
money. The experience in Toddler and Pre-school needs to improve. There used to be trips to the park, the woods, the library but they have been missing in recent years. For the money we pay, we expect a wide variety of learning opportunities to be on offer, as we got more for money five years ago and the rate was cheaper!

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Lidgett Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and are constantly working to improve our services.
We have addressed your concerns with the team and they have advised that nursery trips can be limited due to tighter ratios as keeping the children safe is paramount. Each room has a curriculum in place which reflects each child's learning intentions and next steps for the term. However we would like the opportunity to speak with you directly if you could reach out to us and we can have a chat in person about your concerns.
Thank you for your continued support.

I enrolled my child at the start of the year and the staff have been so welcoming! My child's settled in so well, and in just a few short weeks they were excited to be dropped off and now throw themselves into staffs arms at drop off. One staff member in particular has been fantastic and has bonded
so well with them that when we use her name at home, it always elicits a smile.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Lidgett Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School

It is coming to a year since we've placed our little boy with Partou Lidgett Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School. If I can give more than 5 stars, I would. It isn't just about the friendly faces that greet us each time we drop or pick him up, it is the overall care they have given to my son. My son has severe
eczema and as parents, even we find the routine of keeping his skin moisturised tedious. This routine will have to obviously continue when he is at nursery, and all I can say is the staff at Partou are dedicated in ensuring he gets exactly that. When I drop him off, I never have to worry about his time there. My son enjoys his days at nursery (especially the outdoors) and I am kept informed and updated of this each day; from various activities promoting diversity to scrumptious meals. It is nice to find a nursery where the care and happiness of one child is their utmost importance. They have also been very flexible and accommodating with any extra needs and care requested. I would definitely recommend.

Our daughter loves attending nursery every day and the staff have made a real effort to ensure she forms excellent relationships with adults and other children in her room. Her development and progress has been incredible and the regular updates from the nursery mean we are reassured and kept up to
date. My daughter has an allergy and all members of staff have been amazing in supporting us with this. Although we had a few problems with the billing process at the start of her time at the nursery, the manager at Lidgett Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School has been incredible in supporting us with this.

My daughter settled in very well and quickly - I believe this is due to the staff. She's always so happy on pick up and never shows hesitance with staff. I'm happy with the variety of activities she engages in which we see via the app.
I do think staffing needs looking at - as in numbers. So they have
time to update at exact times. The staff in the baby room are great. Please ensure they are supported.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.648)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.648) out of 10 for Partou Lidgett Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.648 for Partou Lidgett Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.648

  • 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 Lidgett Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 14 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 14 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.

Serena Cottle-Benson

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2023

ABOUT ME:
I joined the team at Mulberry Bush with over 23 years of nursery experience, having worked within the childcare sector since the age of 17.


Across the last seven years, I have worked in a management role, guiding my nurseries to consistent ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ Ofsted ratings.


Growing up in Gloucestershire, I moved north to Leeds in 2017 where I married two years later.


WHY CHILDCARE?
You could say it runs in the family! My aunt was a nursery manager and a great source of inspiration for myself, often taking me to her settings from an early age.


During my teens, I would often spend school holidays helping in her nurseries. It was those times that gave me the drive to provide the very best care and opportunities for children in the early years sector.


INTERESTS & HOBBIES:
I'm a big fan of horror and true crime novels. Baking is one of my passions, and I enjoy whipping up all kinds of cakes and sweet treats.


On a winter night, you'll often find me cosied up with a warm blanket, my two dogs, and a fantastic Christmas movie – it's the perfect way to unwind!
