We have loved being at this nursery. Our son enjoyed it and has grown so much in all his abilities. The staff are all very caring and have nurtured him so well. They communicate well with us and have gently provided us with guidance as well. The environment is very well set up. Ultimately, it's the
people that have made this experience so good for us. I would highly recommend the staff/team and this nursery.

My grandson was a looked after child when starting this nursery,


The staff are really amazing.


Throughout my grandsons journey, they have been nothing but supportive, they have participated in meetings with his social worker and giving him all the support he needed to settle with me and the nursery.


I

am glad to say that my grandson is permanently placed with me and has excelled tremendously with the help of all his teachers at his nursery.
I would like to thank all the members of staff at Lavender Hill Nursery for all the support they have given us and for bringing us throughout this journey.


I would recommend this nursery to any family as they are such a hands-on team

My daughter has attended lavender hill between 2021 and 2025, my son is currently there. The staff is loving and attentive, both children are always happy to come in at drop off. The nursery is inclusive and fosters independence in the children, who learn to play in groups and to respect one another.
The manager is proactive, well organised, and very supportive, as is the staff in general. My daughter has left ready for school this September and my son is flourishing in the nursery.

Our daughter has been at Lavender Hill for three years, and we have been really pleased with the nursery. The staff all know the children very well and are very caring towards the children who attend. The focus on play and Independence has supported my daughter to play well with other children and have
a good foundation ready for school. We are sorry to be leaving Lavender Hill, but looking forward to returning with our son.

My son started at the nursery this summer and we've had a fantastic experience. The staff were very supportive and communicative during the settling-in experience and my son quickly adapted to his new routine. He has bonded really well with the staff who are so caring and thoughtful. The activities
they do are great and he has developed a lot during his first few months. We couldn't be happier with this nursery!

Lavender Hill Day Nursery staff has been supportive and attentive from the very first day, helping my son to settle in and adapt to the new routine. The positive environment and knowledgeable teachers contribute to making the transition as smooth as possible, not only for babies but also for parents.
Teachers take the time to share updates on kids, promptly communicate with parents if needed, and are open to discussing questions or concerns with professionalism and expertise.
I am very happy to have chosen Lavender Hill Day Nursery for my son and I am glad he is surrounded by caring teachers.

Despite the stresses and strains placed on Early Years childcare and with a rather high turnover of staff especially in management roles, Lavender Hill Day Nursery continues to ensure that each child reaches their full potential. The care and consideration, as well as enthusiasm and a genuine love for
the children, are admirable and remind me that it is a wonderful foundation for any child’s growth and development. Thank you for the commitment and hard work!

Both our kids attended Lavender Hill after moving to the UK from Australia. That was a big change for them, but the Lavender Hill staff has been amazing and very supportive.


We're very grateful for the positive impact the staff has had on their growth. The staff really cares about the children,

always taking time to share updates on our kids' day, and support is based on individual needs (which is reviewed/discussed with the parents on a regular basis).

My experience with the nursery has been positive as soon as I asked for clarification or feedback I saw a proactive reaction. Most of the staff have been amazing with me and my daughter. There have been some situations which have been tough for the nursery and had big repercussions on the families but
I've been satisfied with how it has been handled.

My daughter has attended Lavender Hill Day Nursery for 2 years now. Her development and social skills have come on in leaps and bounds. Despite the inconsistency in staff both the remaining and new staff members have remained positive and professional. My daughter enjoys her time at this nursery and
I’m sure we’ll be sad when it’s time to leave for “big school”.

I came to the nursery when I started bringing my cousin here. As a family, we are all very happy because every time she comes here she is very happy and enthusiastic. The staff are very attentive and caring about all the children here. Everyone is well cared for and we also like the fact that we have
access every day to details about how the day went at nursery. The meals are very complete and varied. I advise you all to come and look at this nursery and meet all the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Partou Lavender Hill Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.825 for Partou Lavender Hill Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.825
  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 Lavender Hill Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 14 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
