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.

Partou Ladybirds is a wonderful nursery. All of the staff take so much pride in their work, are super friendly and clearly care so much for the children. I couldn't be happier with the development of my little girl and the relationships she has built with staff and her little friends.

Our son who is almost 3 has been going there since October 2023 and has settled in really well. We love that we get an update every day in person and on an app with pictures of how his day was. He loves going there and even before the weekend is over he’s already excited to go. The teachers are great and pay attention to our son and how he’s doing throughout the day. The nursery has also been supporting us with potty training. Highly recommend the nursery.

Our daughter loves Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school. She has been here for thirteen months after a poor experience in a previous nursery. I was anxious to leave her in another nursery setting but I needn't have been. Our daughter settled amazingly well from the start, the staff are just brilliant. She went through a bit of an unsettled phase recently, a generally clingy phase which wasn't just nursery-related. The staff were amazing, I was so thankful to her key worker and other staff members for their hard work and the ideas they came up with in helping us to get her resettled. They really went over and above to help her overcome this phase and she is now back to loving nursery again and is thriving. The nursery itself has such a lovely, homey feel and the outdoor spaces are brilliant for our outdoorsy girl! As parents, it's never easy leaving your child in someone else's care but we leave her there absolutely confident that they are giving her the best possible care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ladybirds!

My daughter is thriving and the staff are so supportive, I cannot rate this nursery highly enough.
All staff members are friendly, and the nursery manager is really approachable (and visible!), the quality of the meals is also fab.
Communication within the nursery setting is also top-notch, you know exactly what your child has done that day and how they have got on.
We always strive to provide top-quality childcare to every guest and are pleased to hear that your little one is thriving at Ladybirds Private Day Nursery! Thank you, the nursery team will be so pleased to read your review.
Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school is a wonderful nursery, with an incredibly kind and caring team. Our son has been attending for just over a month, in their baby room. We were so nervous about him starting but straight away - even from the very first settling-in session - they took the...
The environment is lovely - so cosy and welcoming - and I feel so happy dropping him off on a morning. The menu is fantastic. A great variety of home-cooked, nutritious meals for them to try. Great updates via the app too.
They have great activities to keep the little ones entertained and in just these first few weeks, I can really see how he has progressed.
I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending Ladybirds and I look forward to seeing how our son thrives in their care!
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day! Thank you for your kind review; we are happy to pass along your comments to the team here at Ladybirds Private Day Nursery.

She only goes one day a week but they have made such an effort in making her feel so welcome, she loves it and seems so happy there.
She is currently in the baby room with her key worker and I honestly couldn’t fault the care. They have been amazing with her and I am so grateful they have put my trust back into childcare. The manager is also lovely and really appears to prioritise getting to know the children and the care delivered by her staff.
Ladybirds are a fantastic nursery. My child loves being there and the team are brilliant. They really go the extra mile for each child, from healthy eating to help potty training. It will be an absolute shame when my child eventually leaves.

They try their best to ensure your child is settled and happy and they offer fun and busy days so my little boy comes back happy.

The staff are consistent, which I feel is very important. I am currently pregnant and will be sending my next child to this nursery also.

Really friendly staff and very caring with the children. Great selection of resources and a variety of activities done with the children. Regularly spend time outside and additional equipment has been bought over the last 6 months and the children love it.

My daughter has been at Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley for 4 months now. We had some issues at first which we raised with the nursery, mainly how often the app was updated and some other things but these were resolved quickly and feedback taken onboard. I’ve never once doubted the safety of my daughter when leaving her and I can see she really enjoys her time at Ladybirds. The staff are amazing and they genuinely care and have a passion for what they do. She has built positive relationships with her key workers and is very happy and confident at drop off, which speaks volumes. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
I am so glad we picked this nursery for our little one to attend! We loved the outdoor area as that is where our little one thrives the most. The staff are so lovely and caring to all the children! My little one has come on leaps and bounds since attending nursery! I would highly recommend this...

Really great nursery all staff are very friendly and are truly invested in the children. My daughter loves attending and I love the learning book so we can see what she has got up to. They do extra activities around holidays which is lovely for parents to get a chance to see how their child interacts at nursery. We also love the large outside space as our daughter loves to be outside!
Our daughter has settled in to the nursery over the past few months really well, all the staff have been really supportive and positive, nothing is ever too much trouble. I’ve felt so at ease with her being there and couldn’t have asked for an easier transition.

Our son absolutely loves going to Ladybirds Day Nursery. He is given many wonderful activities to do each day with his friends. He particularly enjoys books and is thrilled when he visits the library bus. The care given is exemplary, he adores all the key workers and the food. As a parent, I am kept updated with photos and reports, which is really informative. I cannot recommend Ladybirds enough.
Our child has been attending now for 2 1/2 years and loves it there. All the staff are warm and helpful and we hear many good things about them and special relationships formed. We love the variety of food that the children are fed and the garden space that they have.
