We are very happy with our daughter's progress and how she has settled into preschool. The staff are helping her to adapt to toilet training amongst other things and we are seeing lots of progress in her character, sociability and general skills.

A great nursery school. My daughter loves coming to the nursery to see all her friends and staff. They are great at informing you of what your child has done and what they can work on at home i.e. Working on counting and numbers. They are great at finding out your child's interests at home and what
they get up to.

My daughter loves coming to the nursery. She always has lots of fun and is never sad to leave me in the morning. I love the range of activities the nursery puts on. They are always really imaginative and far more exciting than anything I could do at home.

We are generally very happy with the nursery. Our son always happy and always asks when we go next time. I also could say that the staff is very friendly and professional. I would happily recommend The Little People for my friends. Thank you for what you do.

Having had our baby boy at nursery for 3 months now we are extremely pleased with The Little People Day Nursery. The development of our son has notably jumped since being in the nursery and this is down to the personable approach of staff. We are extremely happy with the facilities and the staff make
an effort to make activities engaging as possible for the children.

My son has adjusted to nursery life very well at The Little People Day Nursery. Staff are always friendly and the children seem well organised. I love that they have access to a garden and there are plenty of activities to engage in. Good meals and snacks are provided and they encourage children to
learn new skills.
My son is happy there, what more could I ask for!

Review from Claire M (Mother of Child) published on 25 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend this nursery! We were overwhelmed about making a decision about which nursery to choose our 9-month-old son. There is so much choice to choose from and all with different pros and cons. My son is now 16 months old and I have nothing but praise for The Little People Day Nursery.


Staff

are friendly, caring and built an excellent relationship with my son. He was well cared for, exploring outdoors and nature. He learnt to crawl and walk at the nursery as well as learning to feed himself at meal times.


Meals were varied and well adapted from puree foods to solids. A handover at the end of the day from his key person was well organised and thorough.


We are relocating out of the area due to family support and I can only hope that my son enjoys his new nursery as much as this one. We will miss all the staff at the nursery and wish them all the best - I will be recommending highly of this nursery! A big thank you to his key workers - you have been amazing!

Reply from Melanie Russell at Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-SchoolThank you so much for your lovely comments! We already miss your boy's cheeky smile! You have all been a pleasure to know and your comments are much appreciated by the whole team! Thank you again and I wish you and your family all the very best!

My son loves to go to the nursery in the morning. He always enjoys the outdoor activities mostly when they involve water.


He enjoys the food that is always various and balanced. He has good relations towards his key person. He is happy and this is the important thing.

Lovely nursery and my son has settled in well. He has made lots of friends and really likes the staff. However, sometimes I feel the preschool room can be unorganised and he is left without a peg (I have addressed this already).
Reply from Melanie Russell at Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-SchoolHi Hannah, Thank you for your feedback. I know that you have spoken with the team and I hope this has been rectified for you. As you know it can be very busy first thing, and at hand over time, it can take a while for the staff to get all the children calm and into their activities. I hope you are seeing some improvement in this now and I am sure I will speak with you soon. Thanks again and I will have a chat with you when I see you next. Melanie.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.533)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.533) out of 10 for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 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 4.994 for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.994
  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 4.539 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.825
    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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.714
  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.
