Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granddaughter simply adores the adults who care for her at nursery, they really go above and beyond their expected job.
She speaks so fondly of her time with friends and happily tells me all the exciting activities and things she has learned.
The new manager is lovely and has is clearly so passionate
about giving the children the best opportunities at nursery. She is very knowledgeable and had made lots of new changes to the nursery including lots of new toys to play with!
There has been some teething problems from the company change over, but the quality has only gotten better.
We will be sad to say goodbye when my granddaughter goes to school next year.

My child started the baby room in June and has settled in very well. The staff within the nursery are very nurturing and she has made incredible bonds with the baby room staff. This shows especially when I leave her in the morning, I can pass her to the staff with no tears and a little smile on her
face. She has come so far in her development in such a short period of time that she has been in the nursery. Learning new skills, engaging in fun activities and socialising with her new friends. Thank you to all the staff at Hawkesbury for everything you do. You are an incredible team!

Since the very start of our son being at Hawkesbury Road the staff and team have been wonderful, some of whom we have come to know well and trust wholeheartedly.


The nursery caters very well for all who attend and have been diligent in accomodating any needs we have had.


We wish the whole team

at Hawkesbury all the best and hope the smaller, intimate, and unique aspect of the nursery remains now that it is a part of the Partou group.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak highly enough of the amazing care and support my son has received from the team at Hawksbury Nursery
From the very beginning, the staff have gone above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where he feels safe, valued, and happy every single day.


One of the most remarkable

areas of progress has been in his speech and language development. When he first started, he was quite behind in his communication skills, and I was understandably concerned. However, thanks to the nursery's dedicated team and their targeted support-including tailored activities, his progress has been nothing short of incredible.


His confidence has grown so much, and he's now able to express himself clearly and interact more comfortably with his friends and adults.


What truly stands out is how much my son enjoys going to nursery , his excitement is a clear reflection of the love and care he receives there.

Our son has been at Hawksbury Road since his 1st birthday - he's been in both the baby and toddler room as we cannot fault our experience.

We're very happy with our daughter's nursery experience. The staff in the baby room are fantastic, warm and dedicated, and our daughter always looks forward to going in. While communication could occasionally be improved and the outdoor space is a bit limited, the overall level of care and variety of
activities more than make up for it.

The care our daughter has received at Hawkesbury Road has been exceptional. As first-time parents we were anxious about sending our child to nursery, but the staff have been kind, compassionate and incredibly reassuring at every turn. Our daughter loves every day she spends at nursery, where she takes
part in a range of enriching and creative activities and has developed strong bonds with the staff and her friendship group. Her socialisation, language and literacy have progressed well, and we truly feel like every member of staff has made an effort to get to know her and cares about her. I would recommend Hawkesbury Road without reservation, and we hope to send our second child there too. Thank you for everything.

My son has been at Hawkesbury Road for over 2 years and loves it. All the staff through all of the different rooms have been wonderful and so caring and kind to both him and us as parents. They are supportive of his learning and he has made some great friends here. Value for money is fantastic given
the quality of the staff and the variation in meals each week is great. Cannot recommend Hawkesbury enough.

We're really happy with the care our son receives at Hawkesbury Road Nursery. He's been with them from the baby room and is now in preschool. He has really settled after being quite anxious initially. He has good relationships with his workers and we appreciate all the feedback we receive. The nursery

Our daughter has been attending since January 24 when she had just turned one and has gone through the baby room to the toddler room. We can't speak highly enough of the staff in both rooms who genuinely care about the children in their care. Our daughter is such a happy, independent little thing, in
no small part as a result of her time at Hawkesbury Road.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Our son has been attending One The Nursery since July 2020. Our son is now in the preschool room, and we couldn't be happier with how he is cared for by all the staff. They support him emotionally and take an avid interest in his development.
When we pick him up at the end of the day, we always get
a thorough update on how his day has been. We believe all his needs are met, and he is well looked after and safe. He has formed relationships with other children that have progressed outside of the nursery.
Staff were very supportive when it came to dropping his nap and supporting us through potty training.
We are more than happy to recommend One The Nursery, and our daughter is due to start attending in April.

My son has been attending for over a year now, and I cannot speak highly enough about the staff and the care that they show him. I see him strut into the nursery every day full of confidence because they all make such a big fuss about him and make him feel important.
He loves his key worker, who is
warm and approachable, as are all the staff, and he enjoys all the activities they organise for him. Staff are always happy to answer any questions, help with development, and also make sure that they give me a full rundown of his day.
I can't recommend the nursery enough to anyone looking for a place to send their child. Thank you to all for making the nursery such a fun experience!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.686)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.686) out of 10 for Partou Hawkesbury Road Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.686 for Partou Hawkesbury Road Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.686
  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 Hawkesbury Road Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 16 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
