Progress House couldn't do anymore for our two girls. Both are always so happy to be at nursery. We always know they are in the best care and well looked after.

All the staff at Progress House provide excellent care. Our daughter loves going and often doesn't want to leave at the end of the day! The staff have gone above and beyond in terms of encouraging our daughter with her eating, something she struggles with and nothing is ever too much trouble for them.
We couldn't have asked for anyone better to take care of our daughter.

I have used Progress House Day Nursery for the last 4 years with my 3 children. I feel extremely grateful to have found such a homely, warm and inclusive childcare setting. All of the staff we have interacted with have always been kind, approachable and understanding with me and my children.
Over the
years my children have always been happy to spend time there and have become well prepared to start school.
I highly recommend this nursery to anyone seeking a nurturing environment for their children.

Both of my children have attended Progress House and we have been more than happy with the nursery. They have been cared for superbly as individuals and not for a second have we been concerned about entrusting our children to the staff here - all of whom are lovely. You could not ask for a better start
for your children.

Both of my girls have come to the nursery at Partou Progress House and I can't recommend it highly enough. The staff are incredible and have made my girls feel at home, happy and loved throughout their time here.

thriving, An amazing nursery!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband and I have recently moved our daughter to Partou Progress House from another local nursery. She was at her previous setting for 6 months and we decided to move her here as all of the nursery's values align with ours. As a teacher, it is of vital importance to us that when she is in nursery,
she is learning and developing. In the short time we've been here, it is evident this nursery does this in abundance. They provide monthly interest and activity sheets which enable dialogue between the parents and the key worker and allow for monitoring of the child's progress for the given month. The wide variety of healthy food on the menu is nothing short of exceptional and it is wonderful to see a nursery that puts healthy eating and living at the heart of their ethos. All the staff are extremely friendly and appear to know our daughter well and genuinely care for her in the short time she's been there. As parents, this nursery really is the full package and we're delighted we moved!

Out little girl wakes up excited to come to Progress House to see her badger friends. She is learning so much and it is a joy to see her develop. She is growing relationships with the staff and other children which is growing her confidence.
The team work so hard to provide the best care. I know my
little girl is safe and cared for when she is here.

Progress House Day Nursery is incredible! I am so pleased my daughter is cared for by such loving people in a happy, safe and secure environment that she loves. My 20-month-old, confident toddler is thriving and Progress House has a part to play. From the minute you are welcomed in the morning, the
attention to detail is 10/10! The food is super yummy - it's a home-from-home. My daughter adores her key workers and friends. We are so lucky to be part of the Progress House family. I work in education so I know what outstanding is. Progress House - you are all outstanding!

Progress House are absolutely amazing! As first-time parents, having never left our son in the care of anyone else before. Progress House was so kind, caring and welcoming. Our son loves his room and the staff shares his day with: he is happy and absolutely thriving! The staff provides us with updates
and is there to catch us up on their day. Knowing our son is happy, safe and cared for so well, really means the world. Would recommend Progress House to everyone! We look forward to our son's whole journey here.

Our daughter had a great experience with Progress House. She built really strong bonds with the lovely staff and left the nursery fully ready and prepared for school. They create a great environment for learning. Development and play and out daughter built strong friendships. We're now having the same
great experience with our boy who has been at Progress for the last 18 months. Thank you Progress team!

Both our sons have been through Progress House and both have thoroughly enjoyed it. Their time at the nursery has also prepared them excellently for school. In each room they quickly formed bonds with the staff and got stuck in with the range of activities on offer. The care and attention that all the
staff at Progress House offer to the children is apparent from day one. Highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.869)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.869) out of 10 for Partou Progress House Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.869 for Partou Progress House Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (338 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 383 Ratings = 4.869
  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 Progress House Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 32 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 32 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.
