We have 2 children in the nursery, one in the baby room and one in pre school.
Our eldest has thrived in preschool since we moved to the area a year ago. We are so delighted in how she has come on and in particular we have been delighted with one member of staff has made to the room since taking over
a few months ago. She is absolutely fantastic, we could speak more highly of her.
Our youngest has only been in the baby room a couple of months but has settled in so well and is developing really well and all the staff are so warm with him.
We love this nursery!

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Woodlands Harrogate Day Nursery & Pre-school

Incredibly impressed with our experience of Woodlands Day Nursery, particularly the team and their enthusiasm and care. The nursery has improved a lot over the last 12 months. I'm always kept up to date with what's happening and a run down at the end of each day, they are always doing lots of activities
and a mix of indoor and outdoor play. All of the staff are very personable and supportive.

Our daughter has been coming to Woodlands since she turned 1 and loves it! The staff are such a warm and caring team and the Manager has pulled out all the stops since becoming the Manager last summer. There are plenty of activities to keep the kids engaged and the food is varied and tasty (judging
by the fact she always has double portions!). The classroom setting of the preschool should hopefully help with the transition into reception when the time comes.

Our daughter loves attending Woodlands Day Nursery. She is very happy and has settled really well. The themed days that take place as well as the events are always great ideas and well planned, for example, a visit of the fire engine and then learning continued focusing on fire. The days spent at nursery
are never the same and lots of different activities are always done to ensure the children are stimulated.

I can highly recommend Woodlands Day Nursery. The staff are friendly, attentive and caring. They know every child so well and plan fun and interesting activities for them to enjoy. My son joined the baby room at 12 months and has settled in brilliantly. He loves Woodlands and has developed in so many
ways since starting. I am so grateful to the staff for all of their kindness and support. They really do go the extra mile.

This is my first child and nursery was such a daunting thought, but I should not have worried. All the staff at the nursery are just lovely and amazing! When we went to look around we were greeted with smiles and everyone was so interested in our little one! The first impression was great! And they
have not let me down one bit! Our little one loves going to nursery - he has the best time there and he is always so happy when he comes home! His development has flourished since he started and his language skills are also coming on great! They always have fun activities for the little ones - and make something special of marked occasions like Bonfire night, Easter, Christmas and Valentine’s Day! All the staff are very caring and friendly. Our little boy got poorly a few months after starting and I got a prompt call to come assess, we ended up in hospital for a few days after this and I was so impressed with how they handled it all and feel I can fully trust them to care for my little one!

My son has attended Woodlands since 2021 and I have had a very positive experience. The staff are lovely, they genuinely care about the well-being and development of the children. The care my son has received is impeccable. The manager has been incredibly accommodating with changing days/patterns and
nothing is ever too much trouble. The staff work so hard to provide fun, educational and creative activities and always make a fuss on special occasions such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter. They also have sign language and Spanish sessions which my little boy loves! Thank you all for your hard work and dedication, you really go the extra mile. Keep up the good work!

We started coming to Woodlands Day Nursery and Pre-school Harrogate about 3 years ago when our son was in the babies room and most of the staff, in particular the current manager have always been wonderful! There have been many changes and of course covid was a difficult time for all but the new nursery
manager has stepped up and really turned things around, making some brilliant improvements! Our son is really happy there and has come on so much learning all sorts, he's even doing Spanish and sing and sign now! The new additions to the staff team are so friendly, welcoming and helpful and it's such a relief to know our son is somewhere safe and being well looked after!

An incredible nursery that cares very much about each and every child. Since new management last year, the nursery has come on leaps and bounds. Very, very fond of such an open yet structured learning style designed for each child. My child’s confidence and ability have come on leaps and I put that
down to the nursery.

I adore Woodlands and the lovely staff. From the management all the way through, I've found Woodlands a very welcoming experience for us and our child. Upon the first visit, I was completely won over by the staff's delightful demeanour and this has been completely representative of the whole care over
the last six months. The manager really cared and made me feel so at ease for the first settling in session which was so important and I've felt confident with them from the start. Especially because he started at 6-months-old so I did have my own concerns with him being so young. Nothing is too much trouble for the team and he leans over to go to them in the morning, then I'm greeted by a smiley, happy boy every time I pick him up. If he has a tricky day, they're there for cuddles to reassure him and I know he's safe, certainly well-fed (probably eating them out of house and home!), bonding with them all and learning so much. Love it!

Woodlands Day Nursery was recommended to us, and we are happy with our choice. All the staff is very helpful, kind and caring. The children have always some interesting activities and loads of fun. We started in the Tweenies room and now, our daughter is in the Pre-school room.
Settling in was as
smooth as possible, thanks to the staff and management. The food is like homemade and our daughter eats everything at Woodlands (she is sometimes a picky eater at home). It is a fantastic place for the children to develop, make new friends and learn, how to connect with others; to learn, that everybody is unique. If we had any issues or concerns, the management's response was quick and effective. The staff is always smiling, very creative, and always there for our little one, to comfort her, if she is missing us. We are grateful for all of their efforts and positive attitude.

Our daughter has a great time at nursery and is well cared for with interesting activities and enthusiastic staff. However, two lots of full week closures in one month is unmanageable for working parents. The staffing instability is very frustrating.

Reply from Amber, Nursery Manager at Partou Woodlands Harrogate Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for your kind words and the positive feedback on the experience your daughter has had at Woodlands Day Nursery. We can only apologise for the temporary closures that have been forced on us through a combination of Covid cases and the ongoing challenges the childcare industry is having recruiting and retaining nursery staff. We are working hard to address these issues and to ensure that Woodlands continues to deliver the highest quality childcare in the area.

Woodlands has been the place for my 2 children over the last years (first child 9 years old, second child 3 years old). It was the best setting for my children as was encouraged and supported to grow in their unique little ways. The Covid 19 lockdown was a test for everybody and although it was a stressful
time, we weren't let down by the dedication of the team. The keyworkers were so reassuring and worked through the lockdown which made me confident that my daughter is being cared for by the people she knew. There were those rocky moments when the whole management changed and then followed by so many policies and rule changes including staff changes. Since the arrival of the new manager, things have slowly got better which were quite reassuring to parents. This was seconded by the Deputy Manager, she's very supportive with queries and very helpful, not to mention how caring she is to babies at the Baby Room. My daughter will miss Woodlands especially the preschool so much.

I can highly recommend Woodlands Day Nursery and Pre-school Harrogate. The help and support we have received has been amazing. My youngest daughter has attentional needs and all the staff are going above and beyond to support not just her but us as well.
All the staff are very friendly and caring
which is very reassuring.
My eldest has just left the nursery after 3.5 years and she loved her time there. I felt she was really well prepared to start primary school.

My son started here 6-weeks ago, he had never been left anywhere before, and I was a little nervous, but the friendly staff at Woodlands have been able to settle him in really well. He now loves nursery and the variety of activities indoor and outdoor.
He loves the homemade food, and the wide variety

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.537)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.537) out of 10 for Partou Woodlands Harrogate Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.804 for Partou Woodlands Harrogate Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.804

  • 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 4.733 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Woodlands Harrogate Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.833

  • 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.
