Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son had developed loads since joining Little Darlings 2 years ago.
We are happy with the progress he is making and the care that he is given.
We chose Little Darlings due to the outside space as he is an outdoor child and that was a big factor in our choice. He regularly comes home and says he’s
been outside playing with his pals.
Him being happy makes us happy.

Amazing nursery! My son has been attending since he was 9 months old and he is 2 and a half now. He loves coming to nursery and always talks about his friends and the staff members when he gets home. Whenever I have had a question somebody has answered straight away via email and the staff are all very
friendly. I would recommend this nursery to anybody!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All four of our children have been to Little Darlings. We have always found the staff to be friendly, kind, helpful and hard working. The environment is clean and bright and there are lots of activities for the children to do. The activities are child-led, and it always feels that the children are enjoying
themselves and being challenged in the different environments.
There is a wide range of food available and the children are always encouraged to try new things. I feel that the children are safe, and cared for and love spending time doing fun activities. It is an excellent nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Little Darlings since she was 9 months old and has gone through all the rooms. She is now in the preschool!
We have had a wonderful experience with this nursery. All staff in every room have been nothing short of amazing, kind and caring. I have always felt entirely confident
in them.
My daughter is very happy at nursery, runs in with a smile, tells me all about her day when she comes out and feels safe and secure there.
The nursery works really hard to do a wide range of activities with the children and she is learning every day.
The management is particularly wonderful, I feel very confident in their ability to lead the nursery.
I couldn’t recommend Little Darlings enough!

My little girl joined little darlings at 11 months old and has just turned two. I honestly believe her development has excelled because of the brilliant staff and the time invested. She constantly amazes us with new words and phrases she has learnt, as well as her counting and naming of colours, to
name a few. As she has progressed through the classes, she has settled in straight away, again a testament to the staff.
Really happy I chose this nursery and always recommend it to family and friends.

I would thoroughly recommend Little Darlings to parents looking to find a nursery for their child. My daughter has thrived since starting here six months ago, and the staff are lovely, caring and friendly. My daughter is well looked after and really enjoys attending. She gets excited in the car park,
which says a lot!

Little Darlings is a great nursery. Both my daughters have attended this nursery from being 9 months old.
My eldest has recently finished in the pre-school. The nursery has fully prepared her for school, they have helped her with her writing, maths and language skills. She always enjoyed her days
at Little Darlings.
My youngest daughter still attends the nursery and is thriving, the staff are so supportive of her development.
All of the rooms are lovely. The staff are excellent and the management is great.
The manager is very approachable and will always help with any queries or concerns.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible care and attention my child receives at Little Darlings. From the warm and welcoming staff to the engaging and educational activities, every aspect of this nursery exceeds my expectations. The environment is safe, nurturing, and stimulating,
allowing my child to thrive and develop their skills with confidence. I'm constantly amazed at the progress they've made in such a short time. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent seeking the best for their child's early years education.

Both of our sons have been to Little Darlings Nursery and we cannot fault our experiences. The staff always have a smile on their face and are extremely attentive, compassionate and caring towards the children. The management are very accommodating to any changes you may need to your child's attendance
days (nothing seems too much), and channels of communication are open and strong. The environment is very well maintained, both indoors and the copious amounts of outdoor space. The indoor areas are decorated with current themes/events (mirroring the play stations set up within each room). The children learn through play which is educational (in line with early years foundation stage) whilst child-led. The team provide regular updates on each child's development, and at daily pick-up time gives a comprehensive explanation of the child's experience that day. Both of our sons have been very happy here, and we, as a family, thank the manager and team for a lot!

Choosing a nursery for your little one is a big thing, I think most parents would agree and from the moment we stepped through the door of Little Darlings, we just knew it was the one for us. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and approachable and immediately put us at ease.
Our son absolutely loves
it, he is always so happy and full of beans when we collect him and we have seen such an improvement in his development. You can see that the staff really care about the children and it is certainly clear that our son loves being with them all.
The nursery provides a variety of well-thought-out nutritious meals and they update you on what they have eaten on a daily basis and the activities that they do with the children are varied. It's lovely to receive photos regularly on the app.
I would highly recommend Little Darlings.

My son attended Little Darlings from 2016 - 2020 and now my daughter does. Throughout the years with both children, the staff have been amazing and caring. Updates via the app have been really helpful and really put my mind at ease, especially in the early baby days. My daughter is now in preschool
and has developed so much, especially when compared to friends who are not in a nursery environment.
Thanks to the manager and team for everything you do!

My daughter has attended this excellent nursery for around 18 months. Throughout her time here, all members of staff have made her experience the most pleasant for her.
She was very shy, but they were so welcoming and encouraging for her that she now actively enjoys going to nursery and has begun
to make friends.
I cannot praise the nursery enough for their diligent, patient work. I am very sensitive to my daughter and her needs and have no reservations at all regarding this nursery. Everybody has been so lovely and we feel extremely fortunate to have gotten her a place at nursery.

Review from Stephanie V (Mother of Child) published on 6 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Darlings was the second nursery we viewed and instantly knew it was right for us and our little one.
We loved the friendly, inviting feeling we had and how the practitioners interacted with our daughter and other children on the visit. she warmed to them straight away and stayed in the baby's
room while we looked around.
They do so many different activities with the children and update daily on what she’s been up to and things she’s been interested in.
When she was ready to move to the next room I was worried how she would respond to the change, but it was managed so well by the practitioners easing her in for a few weeks. We had no tears on our first drop-off to her new room.
We can’t recommend the manager and the girls enough. We’ve recently moved house but no chance of us changing nurseries.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for Partou Little Darlings 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.946 for Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (525 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 551 Ratings = 4.946
  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 Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 46 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 46 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.
