Partou Ladybirds Day Nursery & Pre-School is set within a characterful grade II listed building at St Oswald's Centre in the heart of Methley, providing high-quality early years childcare and education for families across Methley and the wider Leeds community. A large off-road car park makes drop-offs and pick-ups straightforward, and the nursery was named one of the Top 20 nurseries in Yorkshire and Humber 2025, achieving a perfect score based entirely on family reviews.
The long-standing team is at the heart of what makes Partou Ladybirds so special. The Nursery Manager has been here for over 20 years, the deputy team for over 10, and most staff for at least five years. That stability means children are cared for by people who know them deeply, and families build relationships with a team they trust completely.
Five outdoor spaces across the nursery ensure every age group has a garden designed for their stage of development, including a forest-style garden for pre-school children to climb trees, explore nature and build physical confidence and resilience. A much-loved sensory room supports emotional regulation, sensory exploration and wellbeing across all age groups.
Enrichment activities include weekly Striker Tots sessions, music sessions across all rooms and the use of BSL in daily life, with children performing their Christmas concert in BSL at the neighbouring St Oswald's Church. Regular visits to a local care home build empathy, social confidence and intergenerational connection.
If you are looking for a nursery in Methley with an exceptional team, fantastic outdoor space and strong community ties, Partou Ladybirds Day Nursery & Pre-School is well worth a visit.

I have one child that has just finished nursery ready for school and another with a few years to go. Both have built beautiful relationships with staff and you can tell how much the team really care for your children. I don't think it truly "clicked" with my oldest that they won't be going to nursery any more after starting school until a few weeks ago and even now they still tell me they will play for a while when collecting their younger sibling!

Thank you for your kind and heartfelt words; we are absolutely thrilled to read this review. We understand how emotional drop-offs can be for families, so we are delighted that our team could provide the comfort, support, and reassurance to your family in those early days.Thank you for trusting us with your daughter's early years journey. We are incredibly grateful to have been part of such a special chapter in her life. We wish her every success and happiness in the future.

Both of our children have attended ladybirds firstly my daughter who loved it so when the time came it was an easy decision to send our younger son. All the staff are lovely, every practitioner in each room all the way up to the management. They are friendly, personable and communicative. Our son has a slight milk allergy and they have been very accommodating with that and any medications that have been required due to him also being susceptible to ear infections. Any falls are recorded and if required they will contact via phone to inform us of any incidents. Our overall experience has been fantastic from start to finish and it will be a sad day when our son leaves in September for his next journey. 5* from the family!
Thank you for your lovely review and for trusting us with both of your children. We are pleased to hear the team has been able to support your family throughout your nursery journey. We wish your son every success as he moves on to school.

I couldn't recommend them enough!! Thank you to everyone at Ladybirds, you are all angels.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! We are thrilled to hear that your children have thrived in our caring and nurturing environment. Building trust through honest communication is so important to us, and we are glad you felt supported during your time with us. We will miss your family and wish you all the best as your youngest moves on to preschool!

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.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that your daughter loves her time with us and that our caring team has been a reliable support for your family. It warms our hearts to know she enjoys the outdoor space and the nurturing environment we strive to create. Your trust means the world to us, and we are committed to providing quality childcare.
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...

Thank you for your wonderful words about our nursery. We are so glad to hear that your daughter has thrived in our caring and nurturing environment. Our team is dedicated to providing quality childcare and support during these early years, and your trust means the world to us.
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.

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!
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. We couldn't wish for a better group of people to help our daughter grow and flourish. Special mention to Michelle, Zoe, Amy and Katie for all the...

We couldn't wish for a better group of people to help our daughter grow and flourish. Special mention to Michelle, Zoe, Amy and Katie for all the fun they provide.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear your daughter feels so at home in our Baby Room and that our team’s care shines through. We’ll be sure to share your special shout-out. Helping children grow and flourish through warm, playful learning is exactly what we’re here for, and your kind words mean the world to us.

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!
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.
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.

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.
Thank you for choosing Partou Ladybirds for your family's childcare needs. We are delighted to hear that your boys have had an amazing time with us and that our team have provided such exceptional care and support. Thank you for your kind appreciation for the team and taking the time to recommend us to others.

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.

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!
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.

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.
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.

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!
