Partou Woodlands Park Day Nursery & Forest School is set within two acres of beautiful grounds in Apperley Bridge, offering a unique and highly rated early years experience for families across Apperley Bridge, Greengates and the surrounding Bradford area.
The newly refurbished Forest School for 2026 is a real standout feature. Led by a qualified Forest School Lead, sessions are carefully planned and delivered year-round, with an outdoor classroom, log burner for cooler months and enhanced resources supporting den building, natural crafts, storytelling and teamwork. An upgraded mud kitchen with a dedicated digging area encourages sensory play, investigation and hands-on learning. Forest School builds confidence, resilience, independence and a genuine connection with the natural world.
Separate outdoor spaces for all age groups include a greenhouse area where children enjoy gardening, developing motor skills, social skills and a sense of responsibility for the environment. Indoors, a well-resourced and homely environment helps children feel safe and confident, and the warm team is consistently praised by families for learning about each child's interests and tailoring activities that engage and inspire at every stage of development.
Extra-curricular activities include football sessions and Songdrawing, a creative activity combining singing, drawing, movement and storytelling that develops fine motor skills, self-expression and confidence.
If you are looking for a nursery in Apperley Bridge with an exceptional forest school and a team that nurtures every child's skills and love of the outdoors, Partou Woodlands Park Day Nursery & Forest School is well worth a visit.

The staff and facilities at Woodlands are great! Our child is 3 and currently in the preschool room, but has been since was 11 months old. Each room has met her needs and provided her with fun and plenty of chances to develop. She loves the forest school most of all!

Great nursery and very friendly staff. My Little boy absolutely loves going there, he keeps talking about his friends and teachers at home. They come up with creative activities for kids and provide frequent photo updates. They make sure kids get some fresh air every day which is great. When I pick my boy up I'm always informed about what he was up to, what he ate and how much he slept.

My son was barely speaking or playing nicely with other children before he started at Woodland Park. He would never share and would always be angry. But his speech has come along nicely in a short time to the point that he passed his 2-and-a-half-year assessment yesterday. He is always kept entertained and active. There is a true sense of care for children and their development and all the staff are friendly and helpful to both adults and children.

My son loves attending Woodlands Park, especially the forest school setting. The staff are all friendly and genuinely care for the children. I've had 2 children attend Woodlands Park and they both enjoyed their time there, making lots of friends and being cared for by the lovely staff. It is expensive and the prices have gone up again by 12%, but that's the only downside.

Lovely nursery with great facilities, in a lovely setting with fantastic staff, but very expensive. Parents have just been subjected to a huge 12% cost increase during cost of living crisis, after already having costs increased during Covid. I understand costs have gone up, but for some parents, this has forced them to weigh up whether still worth working, with little sympathy from headquarters.

Always a positive experience when dropping off and picking up my son. Staff are always friendly and go above and beyond the details of his day. Very reassuring that he is left in the best of care. He talks about nursery and the staff all the time.

I would like to hear that the children have more variation with food, it seems they eat a lot of the same. It would be good to understand how the nursery bring them on in milestones, such as learning and activities. I'm sure this happens, however, it's not discussed often so I am unsure what my child is learning.
Overall, I'm really happy with the nursery and the staff in toddler 1 have been amazing and supportive.
