Partou Little Manor Day Nursery & Pre-School is located on Manor Farm Road, just off the A58 Daresbury Expressway, providing exceptional early years childcare and education for families across Sandymoor, Windmill Hill, Castlefield and the surrounding areas.

The long-standing team is one of the nursery's greatest strengths, with some staff members having been with Partou Little Manor for over 20 years. That continuity creates a safe, nurturing and consistent environment where children build strong bonds with their key workers and the wider team. Those same strong relationships extend to families, with parents regularly speaking warmly about the care and attentiveness the team brings to every interaction.

The Partou child-led curriculum ensures every child feels safe, settled and happy as they reach their potential.

Each room has its own dedicated garden, giving all children plenty of outdoor playtime every day. Time outside supports physical, social and emotional development while giving children space to explore, have fun and let their imaginations run free.

My overall experience at Little Manor Private Day Nursery has been fantastic. My daughter has not always settled well in new surroundings with different people but the staff and management have always been extremely encouraging and supportive of her and myself as a worried mum. In my opinion, I would
recommend the outdoor areas are updated as you can tell the children enjoy being outside.

The staff in the baby room are so caring, loving and always responsive to the children's needs. They are always smiling and give huge amounts of feedback about our child at the end of the day. My child interacts well with the staff and we are reassured that he is in caring hands. My daughter is in pre-school
and enjoys her days spent running around and doing the activities put on for her. I would like some more structure to her day as she will be going to school soon but I feel the staff are working on this currently. Overall, very pleased with how our children are taken care of.
Reply from Erin Lowe, Family Care Team at Partou Little Manor Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our staff in the baby room are caring and loving towards your child. We are constantly working on improving our preschool program and appreciate your feedback on adding more structure. We're so glad your children are happy and in good hands with us!

Very positive. My son is always happy to come to nursery. I feel comfortable leaving him, knowing he will be well looked after. Staff always follows our requests.
There are always lots of activities for the children to do.
Food is good quality and my son eats well. Would like to have access to the
online portal for him so we can get online updates.

My little boy always looks forward to coming to nursery. The staff are all lovely, and care for him as if he were their own. He tries lots of new foods whilst here.
The staff have all helped his learning i.e. counting.

My son enjoys spending time at preschool - all the staff are very approachable and friendly. Always lots going on which reflects the hard work staff put into the children's learning days - this includes agency staff that are occasionally working there.
My son is very fond of all of the staff. Always
clean, well done to the manager, you and all your staff do a wonderful job.

My baby has settled well at nursery which is down to the fantastic staff in the baby room. The level of care is brilliant which makes it much easier leaving the baby to go to work.
The children are given lots of outdoor time which I find very important.
Overall, happy with everything in baby room
so far.

My daughter absolutely loves her nursery. She feels safe, secure, happy and confident when she attends. She has made many friends and is very excited to come and play with them. They often invite parents in and we get to see the children in their environment. The activities on these days are fantastic.

My little boy is an extremely fussy eater with a milk allergy. The team always make sure his food is kept separate from the other children but he is also made to feel included, I have recently had to ask the team to cut out raw fruit and veg from his diet due to problems with his stomach which they
have done and reassured me, and more recently my little boy has been trying new food which is a miracle. Every morning he runs into nursery and hugs the staff he is so happy being at the nursery which is such a relief.

My son has been with Little Manor two days a week since he was 2 years old. He has absolutely loved his days there and we have always been confident that he is well cared for. We have always been updated on his progress, daily when picking up but also with frequent reviews. The menu is fresh, healthy,
and varied. The team are fantastic and are flexible when we have needed extra days last minute. I would recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.851)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.851) out of 10 for Partou Little Manor 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.851 for Partou Little Manor Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (247 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.851
  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 Manor Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 22 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 22 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.
