Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son is extremely happy in the Big Babies classroom and he always leaves with a smile on his face. We can see that the staff take so much care in looking after him and have really developed a loving relationship with him. His confidence and speech has really come on over the past few months which
is down to the staff and the environment that he is in.

Excellent daycare nursery, with lovely staff and great activities for the kids - especially the swim class - don’t know many other nurseries that do this. The stretch and grow are also fantastic and have taught my child a lot.

My son has been at Best Friends Nursery since January 2023. He has specialist needs due to limited mobility and the staff go above and beyond to ensure he is safe and included in all activities.
His communication and social development has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery and he is
very happy and excited to be left in that environment.

My daughter has just finished preschool here and she loved it. She learnt a lot doing letters and numbers. The nursery helped her to prepare for school.
All staff are great and the food is really good, she always ate it all.
Thank you Best Friends!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely adore this nursery. With two of our children currently attending, and our third one signed up, we couldn't be happier.
They leave happy every day and have created such wonderful bonds with the staff. We are thrilled with their personal development and staff always have time to talk, listen
and collaborate with things we've been doing at home too.
Highly recommend.

My son has attended best friends nursery from being 1 year old to now being almost 5.
He has always enjoyed his time at nursery and made lots of friends. The staff have all been lovely and caring throughout his time here and we can't thank them enough. In particular, my son's key worker in pre-school
for the past 18 months. He has such a passion for his job and the children's learning and wellbeing which really stands out. He is always thinking of new ideas and activities for the children and we have really appreciated his hard work. My son has enjoyed spending lots of time outside in the preschool garden/play area and also swimming and Spanish lessons.

My little boy has absolutely loved his time at Best Friends. He had a slow start and took a while to settle in but was paired with the most amazing key worker who really took it upon himself to make my boy feel happy, safe and settled in nursery. My little boy's confidence has improved so much and he
made lots of friends at Best Friends. I really cannot thank the staff, in particular his key worker, enough. He really is a superstar.

Our daughter has attended Best Friends Nursery full-time since she was nine months old and we are very happy with our choice of nursery. She settled in really well in both the 'babies' and 'tinies' rooms. She is so excited to go to nursery each day and always has big smiles when we pick her up. She
loves all the activities, particularly 'stretch and grow' and the outside areas and all the staff are lovely. She is also a big fan of the food!

Best Friends is an excellent nursery. The staff are caring and friendly. They clearly enjoy their roles and caring for the children. They communicate well about daily activities. I really appreciate the nursery and all their hard work. They are diligent in helping support my son's allergy.

I am very pleased with the services they offer. The kids are always happy and the nursery has got lots of activities for the kids. Everyone is treated fairly. Coming from a nursery that is very discriminative, I am impressed with Best Friends and would highly recommend the school to families.

The nursery is great. Staff are always available and happy to have a conversation and listen to any concerns. When my daughter was settling in they were in regular contact updating me on how she was after I’d left. My daughter is vegan and they have always been really accommodating with this also.

We don’t have visibility on the learning as there are minimal updates on the app. My child seems more than happy and we are happy with the nursery, it would be great to just see more of what she is doing. The staff in my child's class are excellent.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I feel overall the nursery is good. My concern is the cleanliness is not at their best either the rooms, stairs or main hall.
I don't receive any information about what activities my son is engaged in or enjoys the best. Actually, I haven't been informed about what they do during the day or week. I
know they play outside or in the soft play area which I think is amazing but knowing what they're learning would be beneficial for us so we can set some activities at home.
The staff are friendly and caring and I think my little boy likes being there which as a Mum is something less to worry about.

Current Review Score: 7.9 (7.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.889) out of 10 for Partou Best Friends Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 5 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 4.181 for Partou Best Friends Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (40 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.181
  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 3.708 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Best Friends Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.208
  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.
