Mine and my daughters experience with Small World Day Nursery has been amazing. The staff are all so accommodating not only to my daughters needs but my own too, as a parent who was extremely reluctant to put my daughter into another persons care my daughter is so happy and settled. Everyday I drop
her off she is so excited to spend the day there. During the first initial settling in period I asked for a few extra sessions to help myself and my daughter cope with the transition more smoothly. Small World were more than happy to offer this. My daughter is fed a variety of healthy balanced meals to support her development. She is well rested wtih staff being able to read her sleep well and she is happy wihch is what a parent needs to know. Thank you to everyone at Small World.
Reply from John Nielsen, Manager at Partou Small World Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you so much! It’s wonderful to hear how happily your daughter has settled and how confident you feel. We’re glad the extra sessions helped make the transition smoother. Thank you for trusting us with her care.

We have been at the nursery for over a year now, and I am so pleased with how my son is doing. It's all because of the staff, they care so much, they listen, I couldn't ask for anything more. My son settled in so well, and his key workers have gone above and beyond. The communication is amazing. Couldn't
rave about them enough!!
Reply from John Nielsen, Manager at Partou Small World Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you, Paige. We’re thrilled your son settled so well! Your feedback about the team’s care and the way they go above and beyond means a lot. We can’t wait to share more moments and celebrate his next milestones.

Both of my children are at Small World. My little girl was a delayed walker and the team encouraged and helped her to get on her feet and now she is running around in pre-school. My little boy has had a rocky start in life but is now a healthy little boy who is enjoying nursery. The team are so welcoming
and he loves his days there, especially the messy play! I would recommend Small World to anyone with young children.
Reply from Rachel Fryer, Home Manager at Partou Small World Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so glad to hear that both your children are thriving at Small World.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Partou Small World 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 22 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 4.947 for Partou Small World Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (249 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.947
  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 Small World 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 92 number of registered child places is 18.4, 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.
