My son has been going to Little Dragons for over three years now, his time here has made him into a sociable, confident boy. He has bonded well with all of his key workers and made some great friends. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, happy to answer any queries face to face, by telephone
or email.

My daughter has been attending Little Dragons for over three years and she loves it! She only attends one day a week now and is due to start school this year but I have no doubt that the staff, nursery and experiences she has had whilst attending have given her a great start in life. During the last
two years when it's been tough, the staff have looked after my daughter and given her support and made December Xmas 2021 a great time. Thank you all - you are the best.

My daughter has been attending Little Dragons since she was four months old. She is now almost four and in pre-school, she loves it!
I can't praise the staff enough for the level of care and their energy to make the nursery such a happy place. There is a strong emphasis on teaching the children to
be kind to each other and having caring manners. The Deputy Manager always finds the right words at drop-off when my daughter is a bit sad to leave Mummy in the morning. She is never sad for long when she tells her about all of the exciting activities that the team planned for the day! I like looking at the daily posts on social media and see what the children have been up to. The team give you a verbal report on everything that happened during the day, from what your child has eaten, not eaten, enjoyed, tried etc..on a daily basis.
The class sizes are small. Each child is very well known by the staff but also by other parents which gives a strong family feel.


Thank you Little Dragons for the hard work!

Little Dragons is a fabulous nursery who returns our child tired but stimulated every time she attends. The staff are great and always seem to have time with each individual child. Our daughter is always excited about to going to pre-school which makes life so much easier. My only grumble is the cost
of childcare but I don't think this is a reflection of Little Dragons but rather a reflection of how much childcare costs overall. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son really enjoys his time at Little Dragons - we can tell that he loves the activities that are provided and feels very at home here. He took a long time to settle at his previous nursery, but he settled much more quickly here. He enjoys the busy nature of the Toddler Room; one of the nursery's
many strengths is the very wide-ranging and highly imaginative activities that are provided each day. It is clear that a lot of effort goes into devising and preparing the activities, and they are always visually appealing to children - we can access frequent updates on the day's activities via the nursery's Facebook page. When appropriate, the activities are also tailored to current events, e.g. Bonfire Night, Valentine's Day, Australia Day, etc. The staff who work at Little Dragons are kind, friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional, and take a real interest in the children. Our son's confidence and social skills have improved significantly since attending this nursery.

Our little boy has been going to Little dragons day nursery for over 2 years now and he absolutely loves it, he rings the bell and runs to the door to get in. They have lots of different activities every day inside and out which our little boy loves, he likes to keep busy.
All staff are welcoming,
polite, and friendly. Always happy to discuss any concerns about child development and give a full report on the child’s day.
They do their utmost to accommodate if for any reason you have an emergency and need child care or you need a different day due to unforeseen circumstances.
Little Dragons is a great nursery, run by lovely staff and supported by a lovely manager that is very prompt in returning calls or emails.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going to Little Dragons Day Nursery for nearly two years and she enjoys every single day there. The staff are all very friendly and great at letting us know how my daughters day has been and everything they have been up to. The children seem to get plenty of outdoor time when the
weather permits as well as plenty of crafty activities and messy play indoors. The nursery is very flexible and easily changed the days my daughter attends for us when my wife changed her job. The only bit of constructive criticism we would give is that sometimes they seem to have a hot meal for evening meal and sometimes it is nibbles, like bread, meats, cheese and vegetable bits. So sometimes my Daughter can be more hungry when we get home but it could also just be because she chooses not to eat so much some days. Most of the time the food seems to be good and is always healthy which is great.

Little Dragons have looked after both my daughters from ten months old. They settled in great and I too was made very welcome. In the last few months, their care and attention the detail has been amazing. I feel my babies are safe and happy. Communication is of a top-level with both staff and management.
I am a very happy parent. My first daughter is now four and the youngest is 18 months.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was nine months old. The staff have always been so cheerful, welcoming, friendly and made me feel at ease leaving her there for three days a week. I'm happy with my daughters' achievements, she is excited to go to nursery and see her friends. Her
confidence has grown. Nursery meals are varied, nutritious and are being emailed to me. No doubt that this is a very good nursery with professional staff. I would strongly recommend it.

I love the Little Dragons Nursery, my daughter has been going there for 2 1/2 years now and she always comes home in such a good mood. The staff are friendly, kind and are great at describing her interests and what she has been getting up to. The nursery and staff have been very flexible for us and
have been able to accommodate extra days when we’ve needed them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son goes to Little Dragons and with him being my first I was apprehensive as to where he would go and if people could look after him as well and as caring as I do and Little Dragons have definitely exceeded at this. He has allergies and they cater for his needs. He has fantastic meals (even I'm jealous
of) and has so much fun and activities to carry out through the day. All the staff are welcoming, caring and really nice and really take that extra time to speak to the children and parents and this makes me feel so comfortable. I honestly couldn't ask for a better childcare setting for my son to go to as he is happy, loved and has learnt so much already. Luckily we have a few more years there but it will be sad to say goodbye when he reaches school age.

I can't praise the nursery and all the amazing staff enough! My little girl has been with them for over a year and absolutely loves it! She is excelling in all areas and is such a happy child. The food is nutritional and good sized portions, the staff are always eager and on the ball. It's just an all-round
amazing nursery and I couldn't recommend them enough.

I have used Little Dragons Day Nursery from when they very first opened with my daughter and now my son. I cannot express how much I love this place and how I feel like the staff are family. Most of the staff are still the same from the very first day my daughter went to now with my son 6 years later
and that in itself is really reassuring. They go above and beyond not just for my son but me too. They genuinely care so much about each and every child. I looked around other nurseries for my son but once I looked around Little Dragons it had that warm feeling of comfort like home. I honestly couldn't ask for more loving, caring, genuine people to look after my children. Both my children have allergies and they have tailered to both of the needs above what was expected. They truly are amazing and I am so glad I found them.

This nursery is fantastic. The staff members are so friendly, helpful and caring. It is exactly the setting I want my child to be brought up in. From experience the staff members use structured educational play which is so great to see. During the height of the Covid-19 lockdown I couldn't have asked
for more from this nursery. The key worker at the time for my child went above and beyond my expectations to make sure my child still felt safe and had some continuity. They kept all parents fully informed all the time of all changes. I cannot praise the way the nursery is run under the management and the deputy management. They certainly know their stuff and know how to run a happy educational learning safe place.

My daughter loves her time at nursery and staff have been very accommodating to her needs, taking into account a new sibling at home. We have noticed positive changes in her behaviour. We are very happy with our daughter’s development and love that there are opportunities to watch her play at stay and

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Partou Little Dragons 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.887 for Partou Little Dragons Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (373 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 417 Ratings = 4.887
  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 Dragons Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 35 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 35 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.
