Review from L P (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl has absolutely loved her time at this nursery. The staff are all so lovely, welcoming, and genuinely caring, which made settling in so much easier for both of us. She has built such strong bonds with the team and always looks forward to going in, which says everything. It's clear how much effort goes into creating a happy, safe, and nurturing environment. Although she will be leaving this year, I am currently pregnant and feel completely reassured knowing my second child will also attend. It's such a comfort to return to a place I know and trust.

Review from Kerry N (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending since March when he was 11 months old and has settled in really well. The staff are all friendly, caring and approachable, which gives us confidence that he's being well looked after.

The nursery is always clean and well maintained, with lots of different toys and activities on the go. We've noticed a huge amount of development in our son since he started and he always seems happy when he's there (the updates on the app are great!).

The meals are varied, nutritious and always sound delicious!

We'd happily recommend Little Darlings to other families.

Overall Experience
Little Darlings is a fantastic nursery. They have taken amazing care of our daughter from her being 10 months old through to 3 years. The staff really do care about the welfare of the children. The nursery itself is full of activities, toys and books; whenever I pop in to drop off or pick up staff are always engaging with children and ensuring they are happy.

When it was suspected my daughter had a speech delay they were really quick on picking up signals that she might be falling behind and they helped me in getting a referral for a speech therapist. They were really invested in her care and now she has caught up to where she should be. The nursery is also very safe and secure, I've never felt like the building wasn't secure. I also love the updates we receive on the parenting app throughout the day from the staff. Highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Alice M (Mother of Child) published on 19 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Excellent nursery, staff are kind and supportive especially those in the baby room supporting my daughter settle into starting nursery - she took sometime to settle but extra sessions were provided to ensure we all felt comfortable with her beginning full days. She now waves goodbye in the morning and clearly has a great time whilst she is there. They do daily activities to support her learning and development, as well as being accommodating to days required whilst being flexible.

Overall Experience
This nursery has been so amazing with our child. The staff are so wonderful with her, especially when she asks to read the same book 40 times a day. We get regular updates on her monthly development targets and what we can do at home to help. They also send us fun updates like photos of her playing with her friends or painting.

We would highly recommend this nursery.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. My daughter absolutely loves attending and has come on so much since starting here. The staff are incredibly caring, friendly, and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe, happy, and valued. The team always goes above and beyond to support each child's development, and it's wonderful to see the variety of activities they provide to encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed about my daughter's day and progress. Can't recommend enough. Thank you

Review from S F (Father of Child) published on 18 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My children have been going here for five months now and I can't recommend this place enough. the induction sessions were great for letting the babies get used to the people and place, and now they're in properly, they always keep me in the loop whenever anything happens. They have been very understanding of any and all requests I've made as well.
Food seems excellent and varied, different toys out every time I walk in, I always get a report on everything they've done throughout the day and most importantly the staff really seem to love taking care of the kids.
Their safety policies and processes seem top notch and they helped with advise on tax free childcare and other admin tasks.

Lastly they consistently help me get the babies upstairs, which is always helpful whenever there's two of them

Review from Felicity J (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with our sons nursery. He has been attending since he was around 10 months old and will turn 4 this year, Sadly soon to move onto primary school! From the very beginning the team have been incredible. He has moved through each room so smoothly, and that is down to the relationships that the team have built with him. He feels safe, comfortable and genuinely happy there, which as a parent means everything.
There was a period where he struggled with separation anxiety quite only a couple of months back and the way the team handled it was above and beyond. They were patient, reassuring and so supportive, Not just to him but to us too. He settled quickly and now absolutely loves going in.
The level of care, security and communication is excellent. We always feel confident leaving him there knowing he is well cared for and understood. The food is great as well. We're so grateful for them and genuinely will be sad to leave later this year!

Highly recommend!

Overall Experience
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Ever since starting nursery, we have seen a massive change in our child. We were apprehensive at first but the taster sessions prior to starting helped us and our child settle. It took a few weeks but it started to become part of his routine. Michelle and the team helped us with everything from setting up the app, funding and of course, with our child. His social skills have improved a lot along with his motor skills. It has been a breath of fresh air being able to leave him there and know that he will have a great day, learn a lot, explore a lot and he is in safe capable hands.

Thanks!

Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended the nursery since she was 10 months old and from the start she was so happy and content there. Now at the age of 3, she still loves going to nursery which to me is the best review there is. The staff have always been attentive and caring. Security is good so no safety concerns. Food has never been an issue, she enjoys the food and there seems to be a nutritious menu with good variety. And I really like they have large outdoor areas with decent equipment to encourage play in the fresh air. Highly recommend Little Darlings and my 2nd daughter will be starting later in the year around the same age.

Review from Alistair K (Father of Child) published on 16 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been extremely happy with this nursery and cannot recommend it highly enough. The security measures are excellent, which has always given us complete peace of mind when leaving our daughter each day. The environment is thoughtfully set up, with a strong focus on high-quality wooden toys and resources that encourage creativity, and learning through play with plenty of outside play which does wonders for independent play.

The nursery staff are truly outstanding - caring, attentive, and passionate about what they do. Thanks to their dedication, our daughter has grown so much in confidence, knowledge, and social skills. She has learned a great deal during her time here and feels well prepared to step into the next stage of her life.

Review from Alex T (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are so happy with how our child has settled into the nursery. She struggled with separation anxiety when she first started but the staff members in her room really took the time to settle her in and alleviate our worries. We have noticed that she has learnt a lot in her time at the nursery. We also really like that all the members of staff seem to know her really well, not just her key worker.
The room that she is in always looks very clean and tidy and feels calm when you drop off and pick up.

We looked at quite a few nurseries before selecting Partou Little Darlings, and we did so based on the feeling we had when we looked round. I'm happy to say we picked correctly!

Overall Experience

My little one suffers from separation anxiety and i was very nervous over her starting nursery for the first time. I looked around various nurseries and was very unsure but the moment i walked into Little Darlings i knew it was the nursery for us. My little one was unsure of me leaving her at first but now she absolutely loves going to nursery and runs straight in without even saying goodbye to me which just shows what a good job they are doing as she's gone from never wanting to leave my side to happily running to the staff! My little one is also very fussy eater but nursery have her eating almost everything they serve up. I can not recommend the nursery enough from the minute we looked around to months down the line we know she's well looked after , happy and learning new things every day what more could you ask for.

Review from Dani B (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery has great security which makes me feel happy knowing my child is very safe with plenty of gates to the surrounding and security keypads to get through different doors and be let in by only the team in the nursery. Lots of outdoor space for the children to run around and explore the environments differently to how they would indoors. The staff are amazing, so helpful with any questions asked, informative on my child's day with letting me know what she has been getting up to and what we can also do at home to support her development. My daughter has great relationships with all the team throughout the nursery which i love as she will talk not only about the girls who look after her in her room but the other rooms too. This shows me how close the team are together. She is so happy there, has lots of fun and will tell me all about what she has been getting up to when she gets home. I am so sad that she is moving onto her next adventure but cannot recommend the nursery enough
