I have been really impressed with the new 'I can' activities. My daughter's listening skills have really improved since starting the programme. The staff have been really attentive and patient with her and it's lovely to see her grow.

My daughter has been attending Angels since September 2022 just after she turned a year old and the team have been absolutely fantastic. They have made the transition into the nursery smooth and easy. The team are all very professional, warm and friendly, greeting you with a smile no matter what time
of day. My daughter loves her time there and is always welcomed with such love and care. I know she is well looked after as she enters and leaves smiling from cheek to cheek! The team have helped develop her speech, motor and social skills and she is growing to become a confident little girl. I highly recommend Angels.

Both our kids go to Angels at Play and they love it. We love their approach as a philosophy and the staff are so friendly and enthusiastic. We like how information is shared(the app, monthly planners for kids' interests and parent's evenings) and have found the nursery to be a great partner through
certain developmental milestones (e.g. potty learning). It's a joy to drop the kids off and pick them up and see the smiles on their faces at both points of the day.

We've been so impressed at the level of care for our little ones at this nursery. They are so well looked after and introduced to new activities and skills that really support their development. It makes a huge difference as a parent to feel that your children are safe and happy in someone else's care.
The staff are always fantastic!

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time at Angels at Play - Suckling's Yard. The team are all very friendly and welcoming, in particular four staff members, who do a fantastic job day in day out.
The team provide my son with the care and attention needed if he ever has a wobble when being dropped off,
which is very reassuring.
He has made great progress, especially with his speech, and some lovely friends, which I know he will miss as he moves on to his new setting in September.

Sadly Our Angel's at Play journey has just come to an end ready for reception in September and I felt I needed to leave another review. Angels at Play have exceeded every expectation and gone above and beyond for my son, he's absolutely loved his journey and calls Angels his second home. The nursery
manager is the best, she really takes care of each and every child. My son thinks she is amazing she also has an amazing team of girls who work with her. They always have smiles on their faces and are always willing to have a chat and tell us all what our child has been up to. My son leaves nursery always with a smile on his face and a funny story to tell, he is leaving Angels with the best memories and that's down to the amazing team. We can't fault the nursery in any way, only 1 more year until the baby will be joining the Angels family. Thanks again to the manager and the Angels team.

Angels at Play is an absolutely fantastic nursery. The Manager is really caring and helps to bring about whatever care package and arrangements you and your family need. I have recently changed my hours and they have been extremely accomodating and understanding. I love the fun time both my children
have at this nursery and have never regretted for one minute choosing this nursery. During the pandemic, they've done everything they possibly could to stay open and stay safe. They've also recognised that young children will always need their comfort and support and have not ceased to provide this at this tricky time.

My son has been attending Angels at Play - Suckling's Yard for the last 16 months and I honestly couldn't sing their praises enough.
The love, fun and energy they pour into our little ones is wonderful and they have built such a great bond with my son.
I love hearing about the activities they get
up to and my son always comes out looking like he's had a good day.
Management are brilliant at dealing with any query/issue and keeping parents well informed with news/changes.
The staff are so friendly, providing a professional, personal and caring service in a homely environment. I'm so glad we chose this nursery.

I was very apprehensive about sending my toddler to nursery but the lovely manager made me feel immediately calmer about it during my first visit. The nursery is beautifully set up with lovely resources. All staff have been so kind and supportive and, although my son is still settling, it is clear to
see he has a lovely time at Nursery. The staff are very organised and upload observations regularly and communication is fantastic. I am extremely happy with the decision to send my son to this Nursery. Thank you to everyone that works at Angels at play!

Our 18-month-old son has been attending Angels at Play - Suckling's Yard since August last year and absolutely loves it! All the staff are so friendly and always happy to accommodate requests such as specific nap times. They have been amazing in what has been a horrendous 9 months in keeping the nursery
open during the latest lock-down and taking the necessary precautions to ensure they can continue to do so. We also love being able to see our son gets up to each day, and how he is developing, through the photos, videos and comments regularly posted to the app - it is clear that he has so much fun and is always entertained throughout the day.

My little boy has loved going to Angels and also learnt lots. I’m often surprised by his writing, numeracy and language skills he’s got which is down to the quality of teaching and learning through play. The staff are wonderful with low turnover and the manager knows every child individually.

The manager and her team at Angels are so lovely and caring. My daughter has been going to this nursery for around 2.5 years now and I will be so sad when she has to leave. When my daughter started she had just been diagnosed with failure to thrive due to numerous food allergies and I was so nervous
about her starting at a nursery but the team (including the chef) have been amazing at assisting with her diet and creating menus to suit her needs. My daughter is so happy to go to nursery and even runs all the way there as she is so eager to play with her friends and all the staff. Being able to see pictures and her progress via the app every day is great and my daughter always comes home talking about all the things she has done every day and how much fun her day has been. They have dealt with the current circumstances brilliantly and my daughter has been back there for a few weeks now and I truly feel like she is back in the safest hands with the team at Angels.

Our little boy has attended this lovely nursery setting since August 2017 and is finishing soon ahead of starting school. We chose Suckling's Yard over a few other local choices because the environment and staff felt so welcoming, friendly and homely.
The wonderful staff have never been anything
but accommodating, attentive, caring and supportive to our little boy, right from settling in, through his development, building his confidence and enhancing his social skills. He adores his days playing and learning there and bonded really well with his key worker. We also love receiving photos and updates on the nursery app to see what he’s been up to!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been using Angels at Play at Suckling’s Yard for a number of years, as both of my children attend/have attended. The indoor nursery facilities are excellent, the staff are always positive and my children have both enjoyed their time here. I found the nursery excellent in listening to any queries
or worries I might have, and they are happy to be led by the parents (ie. when you want to drop a nap or when you have been potty training at home). The food choices are healthy and varied. I have found AAP to be a brilliant prep for my children to start school. My only downside is the size of the outside space, but I knew that it was small going in, and the nursery still uses that space to the best it can be.

Angels at Sucklings Yard has been my saviour over the last couple of years. I was so reluctant to go back to work and leave my twins but Angels made the transition so much easier than I expected. My babies started when they were just over a year old and then transitioned into the preschool. It will
be so emotional when we have to leave because Angels has been such a big part of our lives.
The staff are like a second family to my son and daughter. They quickly identified that my twins have very different personalities and needs and gave them different key workers which I found really reassuring.
I honestly believe that being at Angels has contributed to their confidence and has made both my children more outgoing. I would recommend Angels to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.500)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.500) out of 10 for Partou Sucklings Yard Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.500 for Partou Sucklings Yard Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.5
  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 Sucklings Yard Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 13 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 13 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.
