Partou Woodlands Harrogate Day Nursery & Pre-school

Nothing but positive things to say about Woodlands nursery, the staff are attentive, caring and communication is excellent on their app. My child is always happy to go in on a morning, the progress he has made is amazing to see! Highly recommend

Thank you to all staff there especially my daughters key worker Tabassan.

It was my son's first week and he adapted very well, which surprised me. It was my son's first week and he adapted very well, which surprised me. His teacher pays special attention to him, and that comforts me because every mother wants her child to feel loved and cared for.

My Son was moved from a different day nursery temporarily (due to staff numbers) to Woodlands nursery as were a few of the preschoolers from the same nursery and woodlands nursery were really good at sorting all the moving over arrangements, they made my son feel welcome and comfortable straight away, he was always happy to go to nursery. All the staff at woodlands have been lovely and very helpful. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter loved her time at Woodlands Day Nursery. She was very well cared for and her needs were always met. As she got older and became school ready she was encouraged to learn to start writing letters and was given a writing book of her own to do activities in. The outdoor space was also a favourite and at any opportunity the children would play outside. She made lots of friends and has very fond memories of her 3 years at Woodlands.

Woodlands Nursery has such a warm and loving atmosphere and the staff truly care about the children.

The staff have changed over this time. Managers have come and gone and staff members have evolved. Throughout this time my little boy has been cared for with the utmost quality and dedication. He has grown into a chatty confident little boy and this is no doubt partly due to Woodlands Nursery.

Woodlands staff are very committed, all know our son extremely well and provide excellent care for him while the facilities and activities have allowed him to make encouraging progress over the years.

We love this nursery!

Great set of staff and setting, both our children have loved it and even during testing situations with staff absences the team have kept a high level of communication and have always achieved a high level of care. A big thanks to one staff member for always being there and always excellent.

Incredibly impressed with our experience of Woodlands Day Nursery, particularly the team and their enthusiasm and care. The nursery has improved a lot over the last 12 months. I'm always kept up to date with what's happening and a run down at the end of each day, they are always doing lots of activities and a mix of indoor and outdoor play. All of the staff are very personable and supportive.

Our daughter has been coming to Woodlands since she turned 1 and loves it! The staff are such a warm and caring team and the Manager has pulled out all the stops since becoming the Manager last summer. There are plenty of activities to keep the kids engaged and the food is varied and tasty (judging by the fact she always has double portions!). The classroom setting of the preschool should hopefully help with the transition into reception when the time comes.

I can highly recommend Woodlands Day Nursery. The staff are friendly, attentive and caring. They know every child so well and plan fun and interesting activities for them to enjoy. My son joined the baby room at 12 months and has settled in brilliantly. He loves Woodlands and has developed in so many ways since starting. I am so grateful to the staff for all of their kindness and support. They really do go the extra mile.

His teachers are unbelievably kind and thoughtful and have gone the extra mile every time to help with his needs. We will be sad to leave!

My son has been attending Woodlands Day Nursery since 2021 when he was a year old. He is now 2 and a half and we are really pleased with the support he receives at nursery and how they engage him with his interests.

My son has attended Woodlands since 2021 and I have had a very positive experience. The staff are lovely, they genuinely care about the well-being and development of the children. The care my son has received is impeccable. The manager has been incredibly accommodating with changing days/patterns and nothing is ever too much trouble. The staff work so hard to provide fun, educational and creative activities and always make a fuss on special occasions such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter. They also have sign language and Spanish sessions which my little boy loves! Thank you all for your hard work and dedication, you really go the extra mile. Keep up the good work!

We started coming to Woodlands Day Nursery and Pre-school Harrogate about 3 years ago when our son was in the babies room and most of the staff, in particular the current manager have always been wonderful! There have been many changes and of course covid was a difficult time for all but the new nursery manager has stepped up and really turned things around, making some brilliant improvements! Our son is really happy there and has come on so much learning all sorts, he's even doing Spanish and sing and sign now! The new additions to the staff team are so friendly, welcoming and helpful and it's such a relief to know our son is somewhere safe and being well looked after!

An incredible nursery that cares very much about each and every child. Since new management last year, the nursery has come on leaps and bounds. Very, very fond of such an open yet structured learning style designed for each child. My child’s confidence and ability have come on leaps and I put that down to the nursery.

I adore Woodlands and the lovely staff. From the management all the way through, I've found Woodlands a very welcoming experience for us and our child. Upon the first visit, I was completely won over by the staff's delightful demeanour and this has been completely representative of the whole care over the last six months. The manager really cared and made me feel so at ease for the first settling in session which was so important and I've felt confident with them from the start. Especially because he started at 6-months-old so I did have my own concerns with him being so young. Nothing is too much trouble for the team and he leans over to go to them in the morning, then I'm greeted by a smiley, happy boy every time I pick him up. If he has a tricky day, they're there for cuddles to reassure him and I know he's safe, certainly well-fed (probably eating them out of house and home!), bonding with them all and learning so much. Love it!

Settling in was as smooth as possible, thanks to the staff and management. The food is like homemade and our daughter eats everything at Woodlands (she is sometimes a picky eater at home). It is a fantastic place for the children to develop, make new friends and learn, how to connect with others; to learn, that everybody is unique. If we had any issues or concerns, the management's response was quick and effective. The staff is always smiling, very creative, and always there for our little one, to comfort her, if she is missing us. We are grateful for all of their efforts and positive attitude.
