My little one absolutely loves going to nursery, she’s come on leaps and bounds since starting in February. All the staff are lovely and friendly and she is always smiling when I drop her off and pick her up. Nothing is ever a problem for them!

Fantastic nursery, and great staff, my son adores the place, we moved from a different nursery and he settled in very fast and that is down to the staff, I believe he loves the outside space and is coming on leaps and bounds with his learning.

My two daughters have been to Park Wood and have really thrived there. The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable about the girls, and the continuity is lovely as they progress up through the different rooms but still maintain a great relationship with all the staff. I love that they spend time
outdoors and take part in really creative, planned and unplanned activities. Highly recommended.

Lovely nursery. The girls are lovely; they do a fantastic job. My little one just loves going to the nursery every single day; she never says no if she doesn't go, she'll ask to go - that shows you that she is treated well.

Park Wood Private Day Nursery and Pre-school is an amazing nursery! My little boy has been attending since he was 6 months old and it’s the best decision I made trusting the caring staff. The facilities they have are amazing for the children lots of outdoor space and a soft play area. The app keeps
parents updated on the child’s learning and allows us to see the range of activities they take part in day to day. The staff at the nursery are really caring and base activity’s around the children’s interests. They support and encourage all aspects of children’s development and show a true interest in their lives. My little boy instantly formed a connection with his key worker and loves all the staff at the nursery.

My daughter has been attending now for over 18 months and can honestly say this is a fantastic nursery and setting, staff and management are 1st class. The facilities and outside space are excellent which is perfect for my daughter as she loves being outside.

Park Wood Private Day Nursery and Pre-school is an excellent nursery. All the staff are kind, considerate and professional. Everyone remembers my daughter, even once she has moved classes, the previous staff are so loving towards her. The outside space is amazing, a proper forest for them to run around
and learn, what could be better? My daughter loves attending and telling me all about her day, particularly the soft play area and what she had to eat! The nursery is excellent at managing mild illnesses. They don't panic and don't call you unnecessarily, and seem competent at identifying if my child is unwell. The manager is friendly, approachable and applied my NHS discount without me even knowing about it! They are secure, if anyone other than me collects her, they are very strict at having our code word first. I trust these people with my prized possession and look forward to them entertaining my number two very soon! Thanks to all of you for a wonderful job!

A great nursery until any issues arise. A violent bullying incident that is serious enough for them to record it as an incident, but at the same time they take no action to remedy or stop the risk of it happening again… They simply “review”.

We don't have a record of any formal complaints made by yourself. Would you be available for a call to discuss your comments in more detail, so we can address what appears to be a miscommunication?

From the moment we reviewed Park Wood Private Day Nursery and Pre-school we knew this was the place we wanted our children to go, it is so welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. We didn't arrange a viewing and were given a surprise visit to be shown around and it was no problem at all. The
place is warm, bright and clean and the staff are so friendly. The grounds that they have are very impressive and they have their own soft play. We signed up the same day. Our daughter has now been going for over a year, soon to be joined by her brother. The staff are extremely professional and friendly. Anytime we have any queries they are on hand to answer them, they also conduct reviews and due to Covid-19 have discussed progress in a phone call. They use the learning book app and I get so excited to get a peek into what has been achieved with this. My daughter loves going to nursery and now dances in the door. They have been nothing but supportive of us and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Having being so sceptical about putting my nine month old first baby in nursery, I came home today with a huge smile on my face beaming with pride with how happy my daughter was coming out. It's evident that the communication between staff members is great as they all seem to know what's been going
on with my daughter before I have to explain anything, as she had recently been poorly. The staff have been so reassuring for me as a Mum and for only being there a short time I can see how much she enjoyed going and I feel more relaxed leaving her there. I like their honesty in regards to how much my child has eaten and I feel they are starting to really get to know her little routine. Thank you so much to everyone at Park Wood Private Day Nursery and Pre-school who has helped look after my daughter. I will be sending her little brother in too when he is born!

My son loves going to Park Wood. He has attended here since he was 4 months old. He’s now 2 and gets so excited when I ask him if he’s going to school. Everyone is so friendly at the nursery. And they always let me know what kind of day he has had. We are very happy with everything they do. I wouldn’t
send him anywhere else.

We have seen him come on so much since he has been there and the variety of daily activities and the outside play area is great. The staff are fantastic, very friendly and

This nursery is beyond my favourite, the staff are so friendly and understanding to the children's needs and it has a very homely vibe. My baby boy has been going here since I started back at work in August and has created such an amazing relationship with his key worker and the other girls in his room.
Taking him to Park Wood was the best choice for me and my partner as we know he loves going in. Since starting at Park Wood he's become more confident and learning more every day. I cannot thank the girls enough for how amazing they are with my son.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) 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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.894 for Partou Park Wood Day Nursery & Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.894
  2. 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 4.915 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Park Wood Day Nursery & Forest School is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.4 = 0.915
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
