Partou Woodlands Park Day Nursery & Forest school provides exceptional care and education for babies and children up to the age of five. The nursery and pre-school is set in a Victorian mansion with two acres of stunning grounds and a magical woodland garden.

As an official Forest School, Woodlands Park is a place where children enjoy stimulating learning activities in a wonderful natural environment. The children play in the nursery’s adventure gardens every day; building dens, growing vegetables and learning in a fabulous outdoor classroom.

A friendly team of highly qualified staff at the nursery prepare children socially, emotionally and academically for school. These experienced childcare practitioners provide education following Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) guidelines in a fun, nurturing environment.

Woodlands Park’s beautiful stone Victorian mansion has been refurbished to provide a homely environment filled with natural light and soft furnishings.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

The staff were very professional but friendly during my visit. All safeguarding was in place I waited in the lobby while the staff collected my grandson. Another member of staff stayed with me. My grandson always looks happy when he is collected.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

The whole team at Woodlands are fantastic. My child has loved nursery from starting at 10 months old mid pandemic. The team have been adaptable and supportive throughout with great communication both verbal and via email. Couldn't imagine being a part of a different nursery - great team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Partou Woodlands Park Day Nursery & Forest School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.931 for Partou Woodlands Park Day Nursery & Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.931
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Woodlands Park Day Nursery & Forest School is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
