Review from Elishia G (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl has been attending ladybirds since she was 11 months old and she loves it! We have very little family support so the ladies at lady bird's have been more than we could have hoped for. Isla now names them and talks about them all the time and she loves going. If I pick her up early she says "I don't want to go yet". I am truly grateful for the support they offer us. They provide regular feedback through the app and handovers. They call when they think Isla needs us which is all you can ask for. I put all my trust in them. The outdoor space is why we initially chose the nursery and they are out as often as British weather allows. They foster all her interests. Thank you will never be enough. I would say they are on the slightly more expensive side compared to others near us but worth it. They are also very flexible on days in our experience.

To everyone at Ladybird's Methley,
You are an absolutely fantastic nursery, I would recommend you to anyone!!
You've created such a warm, caring, and supportive environment where our daughter has been able to grow, learn, and thrive. It's been so reassuring knowing she was in such good hands every day.
We're incredibly grateful for all the hard work, dedication, and kindness you show to the children-it truly makes a difference.
Thank you for being such an important part of her early years. We'll always look back on this time with appreciation.
With sincere thanks,

Sarah

Overall Experience

We're so pleased with our child's experience at Ladybirds. Our daughter went to another local nursery so we were nervous putting our little boy in an unknown nursery - but we needn't have been. The team overall are so welcoming and reassuring, and his experience in the baby room has been excellent, I feel like the key workers have really gotten to know him, his personality and individual needs - and he settled in so quickly which was a real comfort to us as parents. The focus on activities including the music time and soft play gives him exposure to different types of play - also he loves being outside which the nursery are keen to encourage as much as possible. Thanks to the team for everything!

Reply from John Nielsen, Home Manager at Partou Ladybirds Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you. We are so glad your child settled quickly and feels happy and supported in the baby room. The team truly enjoys getting to know each child and creating fun and comforting activities for them. We really appreciate your lovely words.

I'm extremely happy with the level of care my daughter receives at Ladybirds. The baby room in particular is incredible and all the staff are amazing.

Overall Experience

I honestly couldn't recommend this nursery enough. All three of my children have attended over the years, and the experience has been amazing from start to finish. The whole team are incredible, genuinely caring, patient and so supportive. A special mention to Leanne, the manager, who is always welcoming and hands on. You can tell how much pride she takes in creating a safe, loving environment. One of the things I appreciate most is the very low staff turnover. Many of the same staff who cared for my eldest child (now 7!) are still there today. That consistency has made such a difference, my children have felt secure, understood and truly nurtured. Each of my kids has absolutely loved their time here, and the support they've had has been fantastic. I've seen them grow in confidence, make friends, hit milestones and really flourish. It's such a comforting feeling. All of the staff are simply amazing!

Reply from Rachel Fryer, Manager at Partou Ladybirds Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for your amazing review! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to nurture and support all three of your children here at our nursery. We pride ourselves on our dedicated team, who truly care for each child. We're thrilled that your children have grown in confidence and made friends. We appreciate your kind words and the time you have taken to leave a review.

Overall Experience

Partou Ladybirds has been an incredible place for our family over the last three years. Our two boys have absolutely loved their time there, and we couldn't be more thankful for the support, guidance, and care we've received throughout their journey.

From day one, every member of staff has shown genuine warmth, professionalism, and dedication. They are all a true credit to the nursery - always going above and beyond to make the children feel safe, happy, and encouraged in their learning and development.

We will be genuinely sad when our time at Ladybirds comes to an end, but incredibly grateful for the wonderful start it has given our boys. We couldn't recommend Partou Ladybirds more highly.

Reply from Rachel Fryer, Manager at Partou Ladybirds Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for choosing Partou Ladybirds for your family's childcare needs.

Overall Experience

I can't recommend Ladybirds Nursery enough! The staff are absolutely amazing - so caring, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. My son has learnt so much since starting there, and when our second baby came along, we got him on the waiting list immediately. It's such a lovely, nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported.

As a parent, it means so much to feel confident and comfortable leaving my children while I'm at work, and Ladybirds has given me exactly that peace of mind. I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery.

Review from Ed G (Father of Child) published on 29 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son just finished his time with Ladybirds having started at 11 months old through to a boisterous pre-schooler.

In our time we received exceptional support, and advice from the staff. We specifically loved the amount of outdoor play time that the children had, and in no small part the forest garden. When the weather didn't permit outdoors, soft play or messy play were always on hand to keep the children occupied.

Our son received a great pre-school education, and we noticed his language and counting skills really develop under the guidance of the staff.

The variety and quality of the food was always brilliant.

Specific shout out has to go to Sara (Deputy Manager and Butterflies room leader), Adi (brilliant magician and Spanish teacher), Chloe, Alice and Leanne, although all the staff were always brilliant!

Reply from Leah Hannon, Manager at Partou Ladybirds Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Ladybirds! We are thrilled to hear that your son received exceptional support and a great education while having fun outdoors and indoors.

Overall Experience

Our little girl was at Ladybirds from the age of 22 months to just over 3. We had a great experience here, it was our first time leaving her with anyone other than my parents so was obviously overwhelming for us but the staff put us at ease and went the extra mile to make us all feel comfortable. I was so sad when she left for nursery school but I am looking forward to seeing the staff again when our new little girl starts next year.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Manager at Partou Ladybirds Day Nursery & Pre-school

We're so grateful to have been a part of your family's journey! Our team is dedicated to creating a warm and welcoming environment for all little ones, and we're excited to welcome your new addition next year. Thank you for trusting us with your precious child.

Overall Experience

My daughter attended Ladybirds from 1 to school age. She had a wonderful experience here. The staff are warm and caring and the nursery itself is fairly small, with a homely feel. It's full of educational toys, and the outdoor space is lovely with trees, grass, play equipment and mud kitchens. They spend a lot of time outdoors. Activities are well thought out, engagingly and fun. The preparation for school is also good in the preschool room. My daughter always came home happy, and covered in mud and paint which I think is a good thing! Staff get to know the children really well and provide detailed updates. Food is also great; nutritious with lots of veg and fruit but also appealing to children. Can't recommend highly enough!

This nursery has been fantastic for our little boy and he absolutely loves to go. He does so many activities and it really has brought him out of his shell. The staff really do go above and beyond for the children and communication has always been superb. When I had my second baby there was no doubt that I would send him here. He is also thriving and this is down to the amazing staff team at ladybirds!

Review from Katy A (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with Ladybirds, the staff are absolutely fantastic. They are so caring, loving, and go above and beyond every single day. It's clear how much they genuinely care for the children, creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they can grow and thrive.
The team also put so much effort into organising fun days, activities, and special events, which make the experience even more exciting and memorable for the children (and families too!).

I felt so reassured knowing that my son is surrounded by such kind and dedicated people who treat the children like their own. Truly a wonderful place, and we're so grateful to have found it. William will miss all the lovely ladies at Ladybirds when he leaves for school. Thank you so much for all your support!

Review from Sarah T (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All three of my children have attended this nursery, since 2017, and I couldn't be happier with the care and support we've received. The staff are wonderfully nurturing, taking the time to really get to know each child as an individual and helping them thrive in their own unique ways. What has impressed me most is their holistic approach - it's not just about caring for the children, but supporting the whole family. From day one, we felt welcomed and reassured, and the team have always gone above and beyond to communicate, guide, and encourage us as parents too.
My children have grown in confidence, developed new skills, and built such happy memories here. Knowing they were in such a safe, caring and stimulating environment gave me complete peace of mind. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a place where children are truly cherished and supported to flourish.

We are genuinely sorry to be leaving

Review from Julija P (Mother of Child) published on 18 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough! My son joined when he was 2.5 years old. I was incredibly anxious about how he would settle in, as he had severe separation anxiety, his first language is not English, and he was not yet verbal at the time.
But the staff were, and continue to be, absolutely wonderful with him. They worked patiently and compassionately with him, and the progress he made in just a few months was truly amazing. They helped him feel safe and secure, encouraged his language development, and supported him in building confidence and independence.
I can really see how much love and care they have for every single child, also want to give a special shoutout to two members of staff for their exceptional kindness, patience, and dedication! They have been incredible with my son and have made such a positive difference in his journey.

This nursery has been the best choice for us!

Overall Experience

Our son has been coming to Ladybirds's since he was one, so for the past 2 years now. Throughout his journey from the baby room to now in the pre-school room, both my son and we as parents have been supported. All the staff and the manager of Ladybirds have been absolutely lovely and clearly have a passion for working with children. The nursery itself is welcoming and safe, it has lots of different areas for children to play and learn. Our son has really enjoyed going there and has certainly thrived and developed during his time there. Would 100% recommend the nursery to anybody and we will be incredibly sad when our son leaves to go to big school full time!

Overall Experience
Our little boy has been attending since he was one year old and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very start, he settled in quickly-thanks to the nurturing environment and the incredible relationships he's formed with the staff.
Each day, we receive updates through the nursery app, which allows us to see photos and hear about his activities-whether he's exploring the garden or diving into messy play.

His development has been remarkable, and it's clear that the staff are committed to creating a safe, engaging space for the children.

Overall Experience
Our son has been attending here since 11 months old and will be leaving to go to school in September. It was our first choice nursery and we got his name down pretty much from birth and are so glad we did. The service and care for his whole time has been exceptional. The staff are so engaged and caring, adapting to the differing needs of the children (our son is neuro diverse). His development and progress there has been wonderful, he loves it and has made loads of friends with both peers and staff. The activities and learning they get up to are amazing. You get really excellent feedback from the staff who really listen and care so much. We have moved away from the area but are keeping him in until he goes to school as we want him there are long as possible: it's been so good for him and he loves it. All the staff are amazing but one member of staff is his particular guardian angel - they have such wonderful relationship : it's really beautiful.

I simply cannot recommend this nursery enough!
