Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child loves coming to nursery each session. The variety of activities on offer is amazing - the staff also put so much effort into making sure the child is settled and well cared for. Seeing the pictures on the learning book of how my son is getting on and enjoying the different activities really
makes my day.

My son had settled really well in the baby room, the staff go above and beyond and have encouraged some amazing activities bringing my little boy out of his shell and helping him settle well. The app is great and we receive some amazing photos showing us his day at nursery. The food is great, very healthy
and the cook will cater for his requirements as he is weaning, providing healthy alternatives.

Cannot begin to explain how happy we are with our little girl visiting Woodlands Park. The staff put us at ease instantly with drop off as their genuine care and interaction are lovely to see. Our daughter comes home so happy and whilst she only visits once a week we have noticed massive changes in
her development since attending. Absolutely recommend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my nephew first started I saw first-hand how nervous Mum was and upset my nephew was. The staff were very reassuring and made Mum feel at ease offering settling sessions to suit both their needs and adapting to what they needed. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting and is thriving and
created wonderful bonds with the ladies. My nephew is now confident around others and it’s all because of the support from the team at Woodlands. The grounds are amazing and the staff are wonderful and friendly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy is 15 months old and has spent 12 of these 15 months in lockdown with his Father and I for company. To say that I was anxious to send my little one to the nursery, only having spent time with us, was an understatement. We were offered additional hours for settling in, which I feel really
helped. He did have a tough time adjusting in the first few weeks, however, the staff, especially his key worker, were absolutely fantastic. My son has grown in confidence since attending and the difference we see in him is immense. The handover at the beginning of each session is great and reassuring as a parent, at times you want to discuss issues, concerns or just let them know relevant information to look after your little one. Whenever we call, the staff are reassuring and provide you with lots of information. I was very impressed with the safeguarding measures in place, checking my identity and that of my husband. Handover when picking your little one up is thorough and always happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 1st son (now at school) attended Woodlands from when he was 14-months-old. My 2nd son started in August 2020 when he was 10-months-old. All of the staff and management are fantastic and are very easy to talk to. They are so friendly, and I feel very confident leaving my son with them. I have seen
my 1st son go through all of the different rooms and everyone provides a safe and fun environment for the children and he learnt so much when at Woodlands. My 1st son was very very happy here, and I’m sure my 2nd son will do the same as he grows and moves through the rooms. The outside areas are fantastic, and the food excellent too. Whenever I have had a query, they are very quick to get back to me. It is a great place, and we are happy to be part of the Woodlands family!

Review from Paris H (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a less than satisfactory experience at an alternative setting, my 3-year-old son was terrified of attending nursery on his own, but after only a handful of sessions, he settled in and has absolutely loved it ever since. I cannot thank the staff enough for how reassuring they are, and I’m grateful
I can send my child somewhere safe and secure without any worry or concern.
After every session when handing the children over, feedback is given to inform the child’s caregivers of what activities they have participated in. Regular emails also inform parents of what upcoming events and tasks children will be getting up to.
The grounds of the nursery speak for themselves, and as a parent of a fussy eater, I can only praise the chef for preparing meals my son eats. I highly recommend this nursery for all young children, and I only wish I placed my child here sooner.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2.5-year-old son has been going to Woodlands Park since he turned 1. I visited a few nurseries and chose Woodland because not only are the staff warm, friendly and playful with the children, the premises, the garden and general facilities and resources are brilliant. I love that it is also a forest
school and encourages outdoor play to instil a love for nature at a young age. I spend a lot of time outdoors with my son throughout the year, and I am really happy that he is going to the nursery that knows how important this is for his development and general health and wellbeing. My son happily goes to all the staff, and most importantly, (he has started to really enjoy his food!) the menu is really good and so varied with different flavours and cuisines.

My daughter has been attending for almost a year now and it's been a fantastic experience in a challenging year. Woodlands has dealt with the Covid-19 situation safely and effectively. My daughter has really benefited from a safe environment where she can socialise with other children. The fantastic
outdoor area means the kids get lots of fresh air and sunshine wherever possible. The staff are all lovely and are obviously passionate about their job. Any queries I've had have been dealt with in a timely manner. Cant reccomend highly enough.

I cannot sing the praises of the staff at Woodlands Park loudly enough. The management team are warm, friendly and extremely responsive. The catering staff are clearly doing an amazing job because my son loves the food. Most of all though, the staff caring for my son are so kind and genuinely love him
and make time to cater to his specific interests. He loves them and talks about the staff by name all the time at home. It’s been a rough year, but my sons first year at nursery has been an amazing success. Thank you so much, Woodlands Park, we are so grateful.

Woodlands Park is a caring and nurturing environment where I have seen my children thrive and develop. The care and love shown to the children by the staff enables me to leave my children with the confidence that their lives are being enriched by each and every single one of the staff at Woodlands.
The activities, outdoor space and creativity of staff is superb. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have recommended the nursery to friends and would continue to do so. The staff are fantastic, and my little girl has great bonds with everyone there. We chose Woodlands Park as we liked the forest school aspect and for our child to spend time outside learning about nature.

My son has been attending this setting for over 12-months. Initially, he struggled to settle in, but the staff worked hard to make him feel comfortable and happy. Having moved to the preschool room, his confidence has grown, and drop-offs are no longer an issue.

My daughter thoroughly enjoys coming to nursery and has made some good friendships with others in her room. She trusts the staff members she spends time with and they are both supportive and caring in their approach.
Of the areas she needs to make further progress (literacy and numeracy being my daughters)
- I would prefer more detailed updates on her progress and how we could work with nursery to support her!

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.
