Angels at Play is the best nursery in the area, they are so caring and brilliant with all the children. They can not do enough to help you with any problems/requests. My daughter has come on leaps since starting and the nursery is just great.

I am more than happy with Angels at Play.
I feel very at ease leaving my daughter all day long in their care.
All the staff and management on site are so helpful and caring, to not only my child but also to myself.
At the end of the day, I struggle to get her to leave, that just shows how much she
loves the nursery and for me and her father, that is such a relief.

Very happy here. My nephew loves coming to play with his friends and the carers are amazing at looking after him, making sure he is always happy. He never wants to leave when I collect him!

Hoddesdon Angels at Play is a wonderful nursery, full of love and joy. It's so reassuring to know that your daughter is being so well cared for. The nursery staff all work very hard to support my daughter and ensure her day is full of fun. The nursery is like home from home. I would highly recommend
this nursery. The nursery is like a family and I always know where to go for any support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic staff. Love having the happy chart when collecting child.
Would like the lunch menu to be more of a variety rather than lamb moussaka and fish fingers.
Car park could do with some more parking bays.
Baby room requires an intercom phone in the back room as the front door isn't always answered.
Always
a clean environment and happy staff and children.
When the new manager took over, I think this could have been dealt with better and not over Facebook.
When increasing the fees, this was also poor communication.

In the morning when I remind my son that he is going to pre-school that day he is so excited! He absolutely loves coming to Angels at Play and never complains about going - which tells me that when he is there he is having lots of fun and is being really cared for, like a home from home. It is obvious
that the lovely staff make him feel happy, safe and loved, which means that I don't worry about him when I am at work. It is due to a change in circumstance that he is leaving, and it is very sad to say goodbye. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for him.

Review from Claire S (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my daughters have attended this nursery and have loved every minute of their time here. From the moment they started, they’ve smiled and laughed their way through each day, being looked after by staff who have treated them as if they were their own children.
The location is ideal for us as we
work close by, which made returning to work so much easier as we knew they were only minutes away from us.
The daily feedback from staff on their development is invaluable, especially in the youngest months when, as a new mum, you don’t really know what you’re doing.
I love dropping my youngest off every day, seeing how happy she is to be going there and seeing how happy all the other children are to be there too. It’s then that you know you’ve left your child in the best possible place.

A fantastic filled nursery with amazing staff, whose priorities is always the children. The staff are always professional, friendly and welcoming. It made going back to work so much easier with the meeting we had beforehand and the transition visits! The staff kept me informed of how my daughter was
settling and made great suggestions of how and what I could to make it easier for her! I feel very informed about her day! I have recommended Angels at Play to several friends and will continue.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.387)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.387) out of 10 for Partou Hoddesdon Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 9 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 4.981 for Partou Hoddesdon Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.981
  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 4.406 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Hoddesdon Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 89 number of registered child places is 17.8. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.506
  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.
