Review of
Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school
from Felicity J (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with our sons nursery. He has been attending since he was around 10 months old and will turn 4 this year, Sadly soon to move onto primary school! From the very beginning the team have been incredible. He has moved through each room so smoothly, and that is down to the relationships

that the team have built with him. He feels safe, comfortable and genuinely happy there, which as a parent means everything.
There was a period where he struggled with separation anxiety quite only a couple of months back and the way the team handled it was above and beyond. They were patient, reassuring and so supportive, Not just to him but to us too. He settled quickly and now absolutely loves going in.
The level of care, security and communication is excellent. We always feel confident leaving him there knowing he is well cared for and understood. The food is great as well. We're so grateful for them and genuinely will be sad to leave later this year!
Highly recommend!

Review of
Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school
from Peter C (Father of Child) published on 6 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Ever since starting nursery, we have seen a massive change in our child. We were apprehensive at first but the taster sessions prior to starting helped us and our child settle. It took a few weeks but it started to become part of his routine. Michelle and

the team helped us with everything from setting up the app, funding and of course, with our child. His social skills have improved a lot along with his motor skills. It has been a breath of fresh air being able to leave him there and know that he will have a great day, learn a lot, explore a lot and he is in safe capable hands.
Thanks!

Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-school
from Rebecca A (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery. All staff were incredibly dedicated.
My daughter was 8 months old when she started here. As a first time mum, it was reassuring receiving regular updates via the app knowing she was learning day by day, her personality was shining through and enjoying the lovely food they serve!

A

big praise for Sam, who was my daughter's key worker - nothing was ever too much trouble.
Sadly, my daughter had to leave this nursery due to my work commitments but I highly recommend. Your child will be very well looked after and will make lots of happy memories.

Reply from Rachel Fryer, Home Manager at Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you so much for your kind words!

Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school
from Charlotte B (Mother of Child) published on 21 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended the nursery since she was 10 months old and from the start she was so happy and content there. Now at the age of 3, she still loves going to nursery which to me is the best review there is. The staff have always been attentive and caring. Security is good so no safety concerns.

Food has never been an issue, she enjoys the food and there seems to be a nutritious menu with good variety. And I really like they have large outdoor areas with decent equipment to encourage play in the fresh air. Highly recommend Little Darlings and my 2nd daughter will be starting later in the year around the same age.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you so much for your wonderful review!

Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school
from Alistair K (Father of Child) published on 16 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We have been extremely happy with this nursery and cannot recommend it highly enough. The security measures are excellent, which has always given us complete peace of mind when leaving our daughter each day. The environment is thoughtfully set up, with a strong focus on high-quality wooden toys and

resources that encourage creativity, and learning through play with plenty of outside play which does wonders for independent play.

The nursery staff are truly outstanding - caring, attentive, and passionate about what they do. Thanks to their dedication, our daughter has grown so much in confidence, knowledge, and social skills. She has learned a great deal during her time here and feels well prepared to step into the next stage of her life.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you for the kind review! We are so happy to hear that our nursery has had a positive impact on your daughter's growth and development. We take great pride in our security measures and focus on providing a fun and creative environment for your little one. Our staff are truly amazing and we are grateful for their dedication to nurturing your child's confidence and skills. Thank you for choosing our nursery for your daughter's early education.

Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school
from Alex T (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We are so happy with how our child has settled into the nursery. She struggled with separation anxiety when she first started but the staff members in her room really took the time to settle her in and alleviate our worries. We have noticed that she has learnt a lot in her time at the nursery. We also

really like that all the members of staff seem to know her really well, not just her key worker.
The room that she is in always looks very clean and tidy and feels calm when you drop off and pick up.
We looked at quite a few nurseries before selecting Partou Little Darlings, and we did so based on the feeling we had when we looked round. I'm happy to say we picked correctly!

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your child has settled in nicely at our nursery. Our dedicated staff strives to make each child feel comfortable and supported. Seeing your little one learn and grow brings us so much joy. Thank you for choosing Partou Little Darlings, we are so happy to have your family as part of our community!

from katie M (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My little one suffers from separation anxiety and i was very nervous over her starting nursery for the first time. I looked around various nurseries and was very unsure but the moment i walked into Little Darlings i knew it was the nursery for us. My little one was unsure of me leaving her at first

but now she absolutely loves going to nursery and runs straight in without even saying goodbye to me which just shows what a good job they are doing as she's gone from never wanting to leave my side to happily running to the staff! My little one is also very fussy eater but nursery have her eating almost everything they serve up. I can not recommend the nursery enough from the minute we looked around to months down the line we know she's well looked after , happy and learning new things every day what more could you ask for.

Partou Storytimes Day Nursery & Pre-school
from Lindsay S (Mother of Child) published on 7 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Absolutely love Storytimes nursery. My son has been going since he was 11 months old and throughout each room he has had consistent staff who genuinely care about the children. He has not long moved into pre school and the staff there have been absolutely amazing with him. Special thank you to Ellie

who has been absolutely amazing. It is clear Ellie is very knowledgeable in early years and has given me really useful advice, especially around toileting and just general development. Ellie always has a smile on her face and is really approachable and my little boy absolutely loves her! Thank you so much Ellie, you are a credit to Storytimes xx

Partou Little Acorns Day Nursery & Pre-school
from R H (Mother of Child) published on 24 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Little Acorns in Atherton since he was 7 months old. I had been worried about leaving him but had to return to work. We visited a number of nurseries as it is such a big deal entrusting your child into the care of someone else but this one just felt right.

The staff

are amazing, so friendly loving and caring, they do so much with the little ones helping them to learn and grow day by day. Lesson plans are adopted for each child with the key person taking keen interest in the individual to tailor plans for the days ahead. Staff are attentive and have a genuine bond with the children.

The nursery has excellent resources including large outdoor play space, meals are nutritious.

We love the app which means we can update on what our child has done outside of nursery and receive updates of what he is upto during the day. This gives reassurance seeing his little smiling face.

We feel so fortunate to have secured a place, it really is the best!

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Little Acorns Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you for your kind review! We are passionate about providing a safe, nurturing and educational environment for your little one. We are honored to have gained your trust and are committed to continuing to meet and exceed your expectations. Thank you for choosing Little Acorns in Atherton!

Partou The Village Day Nursery & Pre-school
from Emma R (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Village Day Nursery since he was five months old, obviously as he was quite young I was anxious to leave him but the small, family feel to the nursery made me feel confident he would be safe. As an Early Years specialist myself (to PhD level) I knew exactly what I wanted from

a nursery, I viewed several in the area and although not 'Ofsted Outstanding', they are in my eyes and heart and that's why I chose them.
The staff are excellent, they update me every day on what my son has done, they provide a range of experiences and an excellent menu, but most importantly my son literally jumps for joy when we pull up in the morning.
I have no hesitations in recommending this nursery from both a personal and professional perspective - they are fantastic.

Reply from Rachel Fryer, Home Manager at Partou The Village Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that your son is happy and thriving at our nursery. Our dedicated team work hard to provide a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for all our children. And as an Early Years specialist yourself, your recommendation means a lot to us. Thank you for choosing The Village Day Nursery!

Overall happy with Best Friends - my son has settled really well in the baby room. Erika, Shannon and Lynsey have all been amazing and our son is very settled at the nursery. The only recommendation would be to ensure the app is updated throughout the day. Just as a parent I can see what my son has

been doing - really love it when the pictures go on during the day. Overall really happy with Best Friends. Thank you!

My child has been attending since Easter and is almost due to move to the lower toddlers. His time in the baby room has been fantastic and he's always so excited to go in each morning he attends. When I pick him up he's full of smiles and has clearly had a good day based on the staff feedback and photos

posted on the app. The staff clearly care about the children and work well as a team. Would recommend this nursery to everyone!

My daughter has been at Storytimes and is due to leave for school in 5 weeks time, she has loved every minute here and settled in straight away. For the last almost 3 years at Storytimes, she has made special bonds with friends and teachers that I think we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank

you Storytimes for all you have done for my daughter. I'm sure baby number 2 will love it just as much.
