Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We are happy the care our child receives here. The staff are caring, attentive, and have helped our child build her confidence, improve her communication, and overcome her shyness. It's been amazing to see her progress. The team are always willing to listen and act on any feedback, which makes us feel
supported as parents. We love the activity bags provided to use at home - our child has been so excited to take in what we've made before and share it. The little library where children can borrow books is a lovely idea and something our child really enjoys. The facilities are excellent, including a sensory room and physical room that the children use regularly. We also really appreciate how they encourage children to try new and different foods.

My daughter has attended stonehouse since July 2022 and is due to start school in September. Stonehouse have honestly been amazing right from the start. The staff are so lovely and really get to know each and every one of the children and build such a lovely relationship with them. It's such a warm,
friendly environment and my daughter always leaves in such a good mood after having the best day.
The app they use allows you to see how your child's days going with photos/ videos of activities and what they've had for meals and snacks.
They also provide activity bags to take home along with a fruit bowl which the children can help themselves too at the end of the day. They also provide stay and play sessions so you can see what your child gets up to on a typical day. It's honestly such a lovely nursery, we couldn't have asked for anywhere better. Highly highly recommend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two sons have attended stonehouse nursery since 2023. My oldest son has now started school and my youngest is in preschool class. The nursery is fantastic. It is a friendly, warm and welcoming environment and they support children very inclusively. They have an app which they update daily with photos
of activities and how they have been during the day. They are very supportive to parents. They provide a stay session at the end of every month for parents to come for food and hot beverages as a way of social networking with other parents. They also provide bags you can take home which have different activities to do with your children at home. All the staff are lovely and approachable, offering advice when needed. My oldest son has complex needs, they have supported him and us as a family with relevant referrals and specialist services required to ensure his transition into school was as smooth and right for him as possible. They love it at stonehouse nursery and are always happy.

The staff are always lovely and pleasant. They take the time to get to know the childrens likes/dislikes. I love hearing about what my child has been doing or being given the paintings etc. The nursery itself has plenty of indoor and outdoor space to explore!
The only disappointment is that their
isn't an app that the parents can view as and when which I know a lot of nurseries do have but the staff do show pictures they've managed to take on some days

My daughter has been at the nursery just over 3 months. She took a little time to settle, during this time the staff were so caring and went out of their way to help her settle, cuddling and consoling her.
The only slight disappointment I had was with the food on occasion - there was no alternative
to sardine or salmon so my daughter was left really hungry as she didn't like those. Thought they are strong tastes and some children won't like these tastes.

Stonehouse is a huge nursery with lots of space for all the children indoors and out and the staff always give detailed handovers at the end of the day and make sure they pass over everything. Having everything included in the price makes it easier as well as your not having to remember everything in
the morning or forgetting to re fill the bag with Nappies!

Stonehouse is a fabulous nursery.
My little girl is in the baby room, and she absolutely loves her time there, to the point where she squeals with excitement when we're dropping her off.
Two particular members of staff are absolutely amazing. As a first-time Mum, I was so worried about leaving my
daughter with strangers, but four months on, she is loving it, and I think she would rather be at nursery than at home!
She does lots of arts and crafts, has lots of time to play and explore her surroundings, and she loves meal times too.
Thank you, Stonehouse; keep up the good work.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for nearly two years, and it was the best decision we ever made for her. She is always happy here, and the staff constantly keep her stimulated with different activities and adapts them to her needs/areas of development. Particularly for preschool, they help
with learning/getting them ready for the transition to school, and I feel confident my child is going to be more than ready for later this year for school. The staff are friendly, welcoming and always willing to sit down and listen to you if there are any concerns or you want to chat about anything - they have a lovely parent room adapted for this. The space at this nursery is second to none, and unlike any other nurseries we have seen, giving the children so much more freedom with activities/toys. The only thing I would like to see more of is more encouragement for home learning/reading; there used to be a scheme where children could choose a book to take home; however, this seems to have gone.

My daughter has been going to Stonehouse since her old nursery shut abruptly in 2022. They were very welcoming, and my daughter settled straight in. The staff are truly wonderful, and my daughter loves her time here. The range of food and activities is fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone.

My daughter started at Stonehouse in Nov 2022 after we moved to the area. She'd been at another nursery for 18 months before that, and we were worried she wouldn't settle, but we really needn't have worried at all. From the first phone call I had with the assistant manager to enquire about availability,
I knew we'd found the right nursery. The owner is very clearly passionate about what she does and takes great care to ensure the nursery setting reflects that. The staff are incredible, always so friendly, passionate, kind and caring. We take our daughter to Stonehouse every weekday, knowing she is well looked after and, most importantly, in safe hands. We value the communication with the team as well; they're happy to work with us on our daughter's development and always so approachable, even the staff that don't work directly with our daughter smile and speak with us when they see us; it's such a warm environment! If you're looking for a nursery in the Leyland area, this is the one!

My son has attended Stonehouse nursery since he was 1 year old, and now at the age of 4, he is about to move on to school. From babies all the way through to preschool, the staff have been amazing, and we are going to miss seeing them so much. My little boy has learned so much from everyone at Stonehouse
and made some lovely friends. I highly recommend this nursery.

I would highly recommend Stonehouse Nursery to all of my friends and family, and strangers too!
My son has been there for over two years and is now coming to the end of his nursery journey and is ready for “big school”.
All the staff have been beyond incredible - they are highly trained and amazing

The nursery has fantastic resources, and the interests of the children are of paramount importance. Please do take a visit; you will not be disappointed!

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.411)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.411) out of 10 for Partou Stonehouse Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.633 for Partou Stonehouse Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (38 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.633
  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 3.778 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Stonehouse Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.278
  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.
