Review from Bryony A (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Just wanted to say a special thank you for my sons nursery experience. It has been so lovely this week to see him walk straight into the toddler room with ease and it's all thanks to the lovely staff at Hilltops! I was very reluctant for my son to go to nursery before he could talk, but I know he has so many enriching experiences and relationships there. He chatters on about his key worker, even his previous key worker despite him not being in the baby room anymore. I wanted to let you all know that it is very much appreciated and you all do a brilliant job.

Review from R H (Mother of Child) published on 23 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I really would not recommend this nursery. My son aged under 2 attended March-November 25. I removed him in summer & the area manager promised issues would be resolved but things only became worse.
Legal ratios for staff to children are not adhered to, I have witnessed countless times where there is 1 staff member & 10+ children in the toddler room. There are unknown agency staff in the nursery every day, many are not fluent in English. I witnessed an agency staff member dragging a child by their hood through the hall which was stopped by Casey.
This nursery cannot keep staff & should be looked into, they really aren't doing things as they should be & it's very worrying. The new manager Claire is rude & ignores parents wishes.

I would however like to thank ex staff members Jo & Hannah for their care, always respecting our wishes & trying to address concerns. I would also like to thank Casey, for her care for my son & helping him to settle in to the toddler room so quickly.

Review from K T (Grandmother of Child) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Although I appreciate the hard work of staff looking after my grandson, there is a concern about the lack of help and support given for children with SEND needs. My grandson went from being a toddler until he left to go to school. There were concerns early on and my daughter expressed her worries on numerous occasions were Partou said they would put in extra support but that never materialised.
My daughter was asked to shorten his hours at nursery were other parents were not approached to do the same. My daughter was so upset my husband asked for a meeting and told them this wasn't right as my daughter attends work full time.
I feel this nursery has not prepared my grandson for school and he is now struggling at school.

Why did Partou not address my grandsons needs and get him the support he obviously needed?

Reply from Rachel Fryer, Manager at Partou Hilltops Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We deeply value the well-being and development of all children in our care. We are deeply sorry for any lack of support and we will look into this in more detail to understand more. Please do reach out to us directly if you would like to provide more detail customerservice@partou.co.uk.

Review from A W (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We recently moved our two sons to Hilltops, and I can honestly say it's been one of the best decisions we've made. As any parent knows, changing nurseries can be a big transition, but the staff here made it incredibly smooth and reassuring for both us and the boys.
From the first day, the team welcomed them with warmth and care, taking time to understand their personalities, interests, and needs. It's clear that the staff genuinely love what they do - their patience, energy, and attention to detail really stand out.
Both of our sons have settled in beautifully and come home every day happy, confident, and our eldest is full of stories about what they've learned and done. We've already seen growth in their communication and independence, which is so encouraging.
The nursery is clean, well-organized, and offers a great balance of structured learning and play. Communication with parents is also excellent.

We're really grateful to have found such a nurturing environment for our children

Review from Samantha D (Mother of Child) published on 21 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was extremely nervous about leaving my son for the first time. The Nursery manager was extremely patient and followed my son's lead in terms of settling in. On the first visit I knew I wanted to send my son here as the staff in the room was so kind and patient. The resources were lovely and they had some really unique ideas about how to get a child's voice into the activities that they provide. For example they told me preschool children have a meeting each week and talk about how what they have liked and what they've enjoyed each week. my son took a very long time to settle but there was no rush to start him. I called lots of times to check on him and they sent me lots of pictures too. I would recommend this nursery very much!

Overall Experience

After attending a walk around viewing at Hilltops I was elated with what I saw. The location is ideal and the nursery itself is presented so beautifully. The boho inspired decor throughout is so calming, honestly I could move in haha. I was impressed with everything on offer, especially the meal plans. The fact that everything is home cooked and no microwave on site is such an important feature for myself as a parent. The outside area is large and accommodating for all ages, the bunnies are a super cute addition.

My little girl started attending for her settling in sessions wc 7/7/25. She instantly looked comfortable and had no problem with me leaving her. The staff provide regular updates via the app which I like. My girl has looked so happy each time I've collected her. Today she attended for her first full session and both myself and little girl are happy and comfortable.

Thank you to to the manager and the team for making our experience so far such a pleasant one.
