We couldn't recommend Little Acorns enough. The staff are incredible and listen to our every question about our child. It is clear to see that a lot of thought goes into what the children need and how to help their development. Everyone is caring and kind at Little Acorns and you really feel like a
part of the community and family here. Our child is thriving here.

We only joined a couple of weeks ago, but since joining we have been made to feel welcome and kept informed the whole time. We were nervous leaving him for the first time, but felt safe and reassured. We would definitely recommend, our son loves his time at nursery.

Our daughter joined Little Acorns Nusrery this month and we are so pleased with how she has settled. We love the communication in her diary of what she has been up to and all of the pictures posted. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming and it has been reassuring. Our little girl is now full
of smiles when she comes into nursery and we can't wait to see her progress and have lots more fun.

As a first-time mum, I was very apprehensive about the nursery. The guilt and separation anxiety. However, after a few days, I was reassured to know that I had made the right choice in nursery and my child was happy and being looked after. Can't thank the staff enough.

The staff at Little Acorns have looked after my child so well since he has started there. Every morning he runs in excitedly smiling and it makes having to leave him to go to work so much easier. He has learnt so much from nursery and his speech is coming along so well from all the singing, reading
and playing that the staff do with him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!

I am so pleased with the dedication, attention and care provided for my daughter. the staff are always well presented, polite and take the time to speak with you. My daughter has come on so much since being there and absolutely loves attending. The staff have undergone extra training for my daughter's
needs and always involve me in her care. They plan fun activities around my child's interests. Overall, I think the nursery is fantastic.

My child enjoys coming to nursery. He always says he's had a good day. He is quite a quiet, sensitive boy so I think sometimes gets himself a bit overwhelmed when it comes to dropping him off, but all the staff are fantastic with him. I am very happy with all the tweenies staff. Thank you!

I have used Little Acorns for a number of years with two out of my three children. The first time I walked into Little Acorns 14 years ago, I knew my first child would flourish so I had no reservations when it came to choosing a nursery for my second child, who has also flourished. When my third child
is ready they will also come to Little Acorns. All the staff are helpful and friendly and treat all the children as they would their own. Something I wanted in a nursery when it comes to my children.

My child has loved her time at Little Acorns and I feel her experience there has set her in good stead for her new experience to come at primary school. My child loves the nursery teachers and I have always found everyone to be very helpful and accommodating.

Amazing nursery. All staff are very caring and have a genuine bond with my children, even after my eldest left for school, he is still welcomed by all staff when he comes to collect his sister. Both my children have developed well with the help of Little Acorns providing an amazing environment. They
offer swimming lessons and Spanish lessons and also do just nature days which my daughter especially loves. I will be very sad when my youngest leaves for school as Little Acorns has been a big part of our lives for the last 4 years

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.983)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.983) out of 10 for Partou Little Acorns Day Nursery & 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.983 for Partou Little Acorns Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (295 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.983
  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 Little Acorns Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 25 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
