Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Big Steps has been and continues to be a fantastic nursery for both of our daughters over the past 4 years. They both settled in quickly due to such attentive and caring staff and have always been happy to go there. Staff are friendly and I have always felt comfortable and happy knowing my daughters
were in their care. The sensory room and large outdoor play areas are huge assets and it's convenient for dropping off/collecting with the site car park. The new facilities of the nursery give it a great modern feel and it is always clean throughout. Would certainly recommend it.

Little Big Steps provide a fantastic service. My son has a brilliant time at nursery and the staff really consider his interests when setting up activities.
It’s great that everything is included in one price too!

Little Big Steps is absolutely brilliant place to start, our son has enjoyed every day of going to nursery despite he is not good at English. Our son was welcomed with open arms, by such a nice and professional staff. The team have been great at helping him settle in, it is great to see staff inform
us daily on the collection of what our son did and enjoys/is upset with, also receiving information and pictures of what he is doing each day is great. The most our son enjoy is the outdoor area which is brilliant. We can see he has improved a lot in the last year and we highly recommend Little Big Steps to any of our friends and family.

My son has settled well in nursery after starting buttercup room in January.
The staff are friendly and very accommodating. The range of activities and resources they provide are top quality- using open ended resources to promote the children’s imagination and creativity whilst playing.
He’s very
excited to move to the big room for his last year before starting school next September.

Really happy with Little Big Steps, on the whole, our daughter seems to be really happy which is the most important thing. The staff and facilities are lovely, nice outdoor play area and she seems to enjoy the food. The only criticism would be communication. Would be nice to have more information on
how my daughter is getting on and how the staff feel her development is going. We see some photos in the learning book and get some info when we pick her up which is great but would be nice to get more detailed info. Also if any areas of learning are being focused on at any time would be good to know.

This is a fantastic little nursery, they care so much for our little ones. The baby room staff are brilliant, really responsive to the little ones, and the toddler room provides great on site activities. On site sensory room and large outdoor space. They also now have a mini bus so looking forward
to seeing our kids go on adventures further afield.

My son enjoys going to nursery at Little Big Steps. The staff are always very good at communicating and were supportive when we had input from Speech and Language therapist. My son especially enjoys the outside space where he can run around and play with other children. There is a good flow between
the inside and outside.

My little boy has been going since April 2023, and we haven’t had any issues. The staff inform us every day on collection of what he’s done throughout the day as well as what he’s eaten and drank. The nursery has a good vibe to it and all children seem happy when arriving/leaving.

My girl started nursery more than a year ago and enjoys going to Little Big Steps. She’s excited to go every morning and very happy when she gets back. They do a lot of activities every day: sensory, role play games, singing, arts and crafts and she built her confidence to speak and interact with other
children in all environments. Staff is very friendly and very close to children, treating them with care and empathy.

We chose the nursery initially because of the way it felt when we came into the nursery. It was clean, bright, open and we liked the fact that all rooms had easy access to the garden. The staff are welcoming and friendly and my stepson has really settled into his room. We get lots of information about
his day and the communication is really good. He eats well and it's actually helping him, because he is quite fussy at home.

We are really pleased with Little Big Steps Nursery and feel happy and confident dropping our daughter off there in the mornings. She took a little while to adjust to nursery life, but the staff have all been great at helping her to feel comfortable. Now nursery is a happy part of her routine and her
days seem filled with lots of fun activities.

The team are absolutely amazing. You can so clearly see the care and attention they put into each child - my daughter loves it and they worked so hard to settle her in and it’s really paid off. She loves going to nursery! The activities always seem to be varied and lots get packed into the day which
is great.
Sometimes communication/ emails seem to get a bit lost but at the same time I can completely appreciate the pressures nurseries are under at the moment, and that caring for the children is obviously the top priority!

Our twins have been going to Little Big Steps for over a year. The nursery has moved to a new building in this time and the setting is a new building and spacious. A good set-up in each room for the ages. Also, have a sensory room and garden. Nappies, formula and food are all provided by the nursery.
The staff are lovely and friendly and the twins are (mostly) always happy and playing when we come to pick them up.

The staff are really friendly and the staff really care about the children. Communication with parents about the day-to-day of what my children do could be better and more uploads to the learning book app. But overall really pleased my children are here. They love it and are very happy. I would recommend
it to other parents.

Everything about this school is amazing, down to the staff and how caring they are. My son has never ever settled in the schools he’s been to! But this nursery has been a blessing, from day one my child has been happy. I’ll be sad to see him leave here for big school as they have made my son feel so
safe and happy, so caring and loving, thank you for being the best for my baby boy. The school is clean, the toys and education are incredible, and I love how healthy the school is.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.506 for Partou Little Big Steps Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (14 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.506
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Little Big Steps Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 18 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 = 3.95
    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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2, which has been reached with 18 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.
