  • Partou Progress House Day Nursery & Pre-school, Market Harborough
Partou Progress House Day Nursery & Pre-School is located on Northampton Road on the edge of Market Harborough, providing high-quality early years childcare and education for families across Market Harborough, Lubenham, Foxton and the surrounding Leicestershire area. An on-site car park makes drop-offs and pick-ups safe and convenient.

From the moment you walk through the door, the nursery feels warm, friendly and genuinely welcoming. Children settle quickly and develop a real sense of belonging, and Ofsted noted (at most recent inspection, November 2024) that children develop secure emotional attachments with staff, build confidence and maintain strong relationships throughout their time here.

The long-standing team is central to that security. Familiar, consistent faces mean children are truly known, and families build real relationships with the people who care for their little ones. Parents regularly return with younger siblings, and reviews consistently highlight the warmth and enthusiasm of the team.

The Ofsted-rated Good curriculum is ambitious and well-implemented, designed to build curiosity and independence from the earliest age. Babies are encouraged to feed themselves, toddlers practice everyday self-care skills and older children grow in confidence and capability every week, with staff celebrating every effort warmly along the way.

An on-site chef prepares fresh, home-cooked meals daily, catering for all dietary needs, with families regularly commenting on how well their children eat here. Small group community outings into Market Harborough bring learning to life and help children build confidence beyond the nursery walls.

If you are looking for a nursery in Market Harborough with a caring team and a true home from home feel, Partou Progress House Day Nursery & Pre-School is well worth a visit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Progress House Day Nursery team are all super friendly and helpful. My child looks forward to his days here and talks about his carers constantly at home. He has come on leaps and bounds, week after week and I would not hesitate to recommend here to anyone.

My son is so happy at this nursery and he has learnt so much from the staff. He is a lot more confident and his speech has also improved a lot. He loves the food, and always eats two portions. We are so grateful for the care he receives.

We love Progress House. Our daughter goes to nursery every morning with a big smile and a lot of excitement for the day ahead. The nursery has been very supportive and understanding of all her needs. We often receive updates on her well-being and activities with pictures and videos. We would recommend
them without a doubt!

A nurturing, safe environment that has helped my little ones develop in leaps and bounds. Throughout the pandemic, it was a safe, clean space where I felt confident my little ones would not only learn and develop but could also be cared for as if they were their own children. I have recommended it to
many other parents.

We have nothing but positive things to say about the team at Progress House. Our son sprints to the door as soon as he gets out of the car, which shows how much he loves it here. I would have no hesitation in recommending Progress House as a place to watch their children develop.

Throughout my daughter's time at Progress House she has been provided with the best care, and support with her learning and development. They also interacted with us the family, keeping us well informed. It has been a pleasure to know that my daughter has been prepared for her next journey at school.

Both my children have attended Progress House and the staff have always been amazing. My children have loved going to the nursery and I am sad that it's my daughter's last day today. It's always lovely to be greeted by big smiles at 7:30am in the morning. Love this nursery.

We have used Progress House for over nine years. Always recommend them to everyone I know, cannot fault them at all. My family and I love all of the staff and will miss them all dearly when we no longer need nursery care.

Progress House has been wonderful from the moment I came to look around. They have been fully supportive of not only my child but myself as well. My child has blossomed under the care provided and when we have needed help with access to SEN support, the staff's knowledge and support has been amazing.
They are a wonderful team that really feel like family.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.840)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.840) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.840 for Partou Progress House Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (369 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 431 Ratings = 4.84
  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 36 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 36 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.
