Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school

My older daughter was just about to finish Little Darlings when I found out I was expecting twins so I put their names down before they were born! After such a positive experience with our first child there was no doubt we would be returning to Little Darlings with its homely environment and caring staff. The girls have since started and despite changing hands, the nursery feels just as lovely and welcoming and they are enjoying their time there.

If you're reading this review, it's probably because this nursery is one of (if not the) best-rated in Stockport. When looking for a nursery for our little one, we saw that Little Darlings was highly rated and had great reviews. Going to visit and look around allowed us to see that there was a good chance that it lived up to these expectations. (We have visited lots of nurseries!) Our child has now had the pleasure of being at Little Darlings for around 9 months and they absolutely love it. The nursery was very flexible with allowing extra settling-in sessions to make sure that our little one was managing the change to their new environment. This not only helped our child but helped us too. The room leaders are all very knowledgeable and professional (the current baby room leader is the best practitioner I've ever met!) and the rest of the staff are excellent too. The nursery is well-managed and standards are high.

Since our little boy started in January this year the staff have been amazing. They have really welcomed him, and it's fair to say he loves it and everyone there! In the time he's been here he's gone from not yet being able to crawl to now pretty much running about, the support and help from staff as he's gone through these milestones has been great. He has a lactose intolerance and it's been reassuring to see how well he's catered for around it. The first time we visited it felt good and it really has proved to be an amazing nursery.

Little Darlings has been the best experience for us as a family. We have sent all 3 of our children there and haven't got a bad word to say about the place. The staff are all brilliant, the level of care is fantastic and all of our kids have absolutely loved going there. We are very sadly taking our youngest out of the nursery soon, due to us relocating out of the area and I really wish we could pick Little Darlings up and bring it with us when we move!

I would highly recommend.

They're learning lots, making friends, and developing as little people really well, thanks to the care and support of the staff who take a genuine interest in doing the best for our children.

This is my second child who has attended this nursery. Both have been extremely happy, settled and content. They have been well cared for both physically and emotionally. The food provided is excellent. Knowledge of the staff and their development of children is excellent. They always have different activities to support growth and development. Regular feedback is given and they take care to find out how the children are and any identifying needs. Both children have thrived in such a caring and supportive environment.

Definitely recommend it to prospective parents and children.

I would happily recommend this nursery to any friends or family.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. I felt happy to leave my son every morning. The team and management are amazing and ensure myself and my little boy felt comfortable and safe with him being there with them. Communication with myself was perfect, and the parent partnership the nursery gives is outstanding, whether it be through face-to-face or emails or messages. Fantastic nursery for my little boy!

When my first child attended Little Darlings over 10 years ago, I was so happy wih her progress that when I had my second child, I was adamant that he was going to follow suit. The staff are brilliant, making my son's time there stimulating and varied. I love the feedback they give each day. The nursery is warm and welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. I would 100% recommend.

The manager is always happy to help with any requests I may have.

Excellent communication from staff. My child always looks forward to attending nursery and comes home happy. His development has come on leaps and bounds since he started here. He is set individual development framework objectives and we are kept informed of his progress regularly. Thank you!

Leaving your child in someone else's care is always a difficult thing to overcome at first. Our youngest child especially struggles with leaving his mum and I but knowing how lovely all the staff are with both of our children gives us a sense of relief and we couldn't be happier with the nursery. We've had the great pleasure of being able to have our children in the nursery for a few years now and everyone from the management team to all of the rooms (Baby, littlies, middlies and preschool) are all friendly, capable and are loved by both of our children. The food is nutritious and I'm told "very tasty" by our eldest. Both of our children have come on leaps and bounds since being there. It'll be a sad day when both of our children take the next steps into school. If you are looking at nurseries in the area this one is the one to go for!

Thank you for everything you do for our little people - we love you!

Little Darlings Day Nursery is superb and I'm so pleased we chose this nursery for our daughter. The staff and management are fantastic and professional. The care and love that my daughter receives is so comforting to us that we would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to friends and family.

Fantastic nursery. All the staff are really caring with the children, they really made me feel at ease on my daughter’s first day. My child has really come on with her social, personal, emotional and physical development since attending Little Darlings Nursery. The nursery is well managed and is always kept clean and tidy, The children have a great variety of healthy foods on the menu. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parents who want their child to not just be cared for but to learn in a safe and caring environment.

My little boy loves coming to Little Darlings. The staff are all amazing with him. He started in babies and is now in middles. The manager is amazing and works really hard to make sure the children, staff and parents are well looked after. Me and my husband would recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Little Darlings for over a year now. She has progressed leaps and bounds over this year largely due to the experience she has at her nursery. The staff are wonderful and make every day a different little adventure for her. She loves her time at nursery and long may it continue.

My son loves going to nursery and enjoys all the activities.
