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 couldn’t recommend them enough, just the best. The moment I first stepped into the nursery, I loved it. The environment is beautiful, a great mix of fun and educational yet still has a warm home feeling. The staff are amazing, they have a genuine care and interest for their children and it is clear to see. As babies, I felt happy and content when leaving them at nursery, knowing they were going to have a great day. My children are older now and are very fond of the nursery and ask to go every day even when it isn’t their day to go. I have recommended Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley on several occasions and will continue to do so.

My daughter has been attending Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley now for nearly a year. The staff are always really friendly and inviting. I feel very confident in the level of care that each carer gives as sometimes my daughter may not be with her own key worker some days. She is always very happy and has come on leaps and bounds. They are very informative and always keep me in the loop. As a first time mum I was always anxious about leaving my baby when returning to work but I can say that I feel very reassured. All members know her name even down to the staff in other rooms. The communication is very high between each room and staff member. The manager is excellent too and knows each child's name and always says hello. The nursery itself is lovely, they have a wide variety of activities and learning each day. They have a wonderful outdoor space which is fully secure. Excellent food choices and a good varied menu over each month. Thank you

My granddaughter attends Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley. I accompanied my daughter to look at nurseries before she went back to work and Ladybirds was the best by far. The Staff are professional and caring. They are willing to listen and show genuine interest in my granddaughter. There are excellent and varied activities. I feel we were lucky to get a place here and feel confident with their care.

We made the best decision to send our two girls to Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley. The staff who work there take such good care of our children as though they were their own. So much thought goes into different activities for the kids to do and they have made so much progress in their learning too. We get regular updates and pictures through the mylearningbook app which is so lovely to see! I recommend Ladybirds to absolutely anyone who will listen. An amazing nursery and our girls love going.

My son has been at Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley for a couple of years now. All the staff are caring and friendly and ensure my son is well looked after. He has been in each of the rooms and they have all encouraged his development throughout his time at nursery.

My daughter sometimes gets a bit upset not being with me but all the staff are amazing and settle my daughter very quickly. All three of my children have been to Ladybirds Private day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley and I wouldn’t use anywhere else.
Very friendly team who know our son well and try to personalise activities to his tastes and experiences. He is very happy in the baby group and benefits from the variety of activities. We've noticed that he learns new words and skills there.

As every mother knows, the peace of mind you feel when your children are happy, settled and safe is worth everything and all you wish for. As a granny, as is the Queen so I though “granny” be nice, that’s what I wanted for my daughter and for my granddaughter. Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley is a beautiful village with stunning St Oswolds and the cherry blossoms at this time of year and the countryside, hidden away but easily found. When I came across Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley it made my heart light. It reminded me of my own daughters nursery where the children are first, children are cared for and children are loved. The play was good to see, fun and good learning with songs and routine both outdoor and indoor. Cuddles and sleep, routine and new experiences go side by side. As a family we have experienced significant loss during the pandemic and Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley have been an extended family to us. I would highly recommend Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley to you as parents and grandparents. The staff are warm, experienced, always positive, hardworking and happy.

Our son had attended Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley for four years and from the very first day we felt so comfortable leaving our child. He loves going to nursery and always has, they are always doing fun and educational things. The app, which is regularly updated, gives us a great insight into the development he is getting. The team at Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley are great and it’s very clear they love their job. I would recommend highly and we’re so happy we made the decision to put our son in Ladybirds Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Methley.
My little one has been at the setting since early 2019 and we have found it to be a brilliant setting. The staff are all friendly and form good bonds with the children which is clear to see. I will be sad when our little one leaves this summer to go to reception class.

Our child’s experience with the Ladybirds’s team so far has been fantastic. The team are friendly and approachable and have genuine care for the children. Our key worker is always very informative with details of what our child has done each day and he is engaging with the team and activities more and more each day. The app is also a great way of being able to see what he has learnt and activities he’s been trying.

I visited two other nurseries and was so unhappy about the thought of leaving my child there. They felt like children were just another number. I went to see Ladybirds and was fantastic, she spent time with my son and I felt instantly reassured that Nursery was a great place for development. It’s clean, tidy, not over busy and had a great welcoming feel to it!
Staff are fantastic and amazing with my child he thoroughly enjoys attending. They were really helpful with his potty training and he learns so much here. It's tucked away and private which I like and there's plenty to do for the children on-site and the outdoor areas.

Our daughter has been attending for nearly a year (the first lockdown being the exception) and I was worried when she came back in summer that it would wipe out the progress we had seen but so far she seems to have settled back in nicely. A genuinely lovely nursery with really caring staff and I have no concerns about her at all whilst she is there. My only comment to improve upon is the small details you get at the end of the day about your child. Pre Covid you used to get a sheet including what they had eaten/slept etc. but now we don't (which is completely understandable) and most of the time I have to ask for this information and they have to go away and check. Otherwise, the way they have handled looking after children in the middle of all this is really commendable.
We're so happy with the care our son receives from Ladybirds, the team are all kind and helpful and he comes home after each session happy, full of homemade dinner, and shattered from all his little adventures. He loves it and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
