This nursery is fantastic. My little boy has a number of additional needs and behaviour problems and they are so good with him.
The whole setting has trained in Makaton to help him communicate and make him feel happier.
They are a very caring and supportive setting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband and I couldn't be happier with our chosen nursery for our son. I'm not sure what caught my attention first, the incredible, friendly staff or the wonderful effort made by key personnel, ensuring our son's needs are met.
Every day you walk in and the day's activities are laid out, you get
a glimpse of what your little one will experience. As a parent, all you want is to see your child enjoy the experience.
Our son has double portions for lunch because the food is so good, and he's not even a big eater.
We are so happy with the nursery, the management and our son's progress and development.

The Little People Day Nursery (2-3 years) are very friendly, welcoming and any changes/comments are quickly sorted. For example, my little girl was fussy with food and not sleepy at night, so they tried fewer snacks and less sleep. My little girl loves the staff at The Little People Day Nursery and
she is very happy!

My son is thriving and I put this down to his time at nursery. He is always happy at start and finish time and always singing songs, counting and telling me numbers. Outdoor space is fab and he loves it outside. I don't mind travelling here as it's highly recommended. My son is always clean and
happy when he comes home.

My son has had a lovely time here. He struggled to settle at first but the team looked after him really well and helped him feel happy and secure. They use his own interests as a basis for his learning and activities and he has a good bond.
My daughter also thoroughly enjoyed her 4 years here before
starting school in September 2016.

Fabulous nursery. My daughter loves attending. I feel the children are well looked after and are always happy, playing beautifully and well supervised. The food is exceptional and I often have envy. My daughter's progress is obvious since starting here and well documented and reviewed.

Review from Emma J (Mother of Child) published on 22 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son joined initially when he was one. As my son was extremely poorly when he was born he spent a considerable time in scubu. He had a extremely strong attachment to me mum and would scream and cry terribly when I dropped him off for settling in sessions.
I could not praise this nursery enough not
only for their patience and persistence with him but with their creative skills in discovering everything he enjoys to ease translation when he left me. After a considerable amount of settling in sessions he is now well settled into the nursery and we have never looked back.
The staff are extremely friendly- creative - always full of fun and smiles (which I'm sure is no mean feat after a long day with my child let alone all the others).
Thank you little people day nursery you deserved your outstanding Ofsted rating as you really are superb!
And most importantly my son loves it- and regularly talks about the great staff on a regular basis.

My daughter loves going to The Little People, she has come on leaps and bounds since she has moved up to pre-school. All of the staff are excellent and my daughter has a very strong bond with all of them. I am always happy with leaving my daughter and know that she is well cared for and looked after.
She enjoys learning new things and spending lots of time in the garden.

I would definitely recommend. The Little People to anyone. The care they provide is excellent and genuine, and even if difficult times the staff are supportive and caring to both child and parent. The facilities are very good, especially the outdoor space which is well used and encouraged. Food is nutritious
and varied, encouraging children to try new things, but allergies and intolerances are well catered for and taken seriously.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.596)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.596) 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.992 for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.992
  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 4.604 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on 11 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.604
  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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2021

I have over 24 years experience working with young children. I trained as an apprentice in my early days and have worked in mainstream, SEN and diverse early years settings.


I have a business management and leadership qualification alongside my Early Years skills. I have been a Deputy Manager for over 10 years, but over the last few years I have worked at our sister nursery in Cheltenham, sharing the management role and really enjoyed this side of the job.


I’m a busy, working mum to two beautiful children, a teenager and a baby, so I can empathise with parents during their children’s journeys through the early years experience and beyond.
