We couldn't be happier with the care the team show our two little boys. Would highly recommend this nursery. Our boys are happy, the staff are lovely and they seem to get up to a lot of interesting stuff every day.

Our daughter has been at Little Big Steps for just over a year and is really happy there. The team are kind and professional and takes a real interest in her learning and social development. The rooms are kept clean and there is a real variety of equipment and activities for the children to take part
in each day.

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.

Both our children attend Little Big Steps Private Day Nursery & Pre-school, Knowle from an early age. The staff are amazing, professional and communicate well, just overall brilliant.
The facilities are clean and well presented, we would highly recommend anyone considering child care in the area
to at least check this place out, our kids absolutely enjoy and have developed so well from attending.

Great facilities and caring staff. My son loves his time at little big steps. As a single parent, I have been so grateful for the flexibility the nursery offers for half days and full days. New facilities are set up really well and the team have created a wonderful environment for the children.

Fantastic nursery! The staff in my daughter's room are brilliant, so friendly and my daughter loves going. She gets the chance to do lots of outdoor play and messy play and is always tired out after a morning there!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had to pull my daughter out of her previous nursery due to safeguarding issues so was dubious about sending her to another one.
From the moment she walked in she absolutely loved it here. She has progressed so much with her speech and personality all thanks to the amazing nursery workers here.
She loves drawing and painting and they always find the time to do this with her.
She has made friends now and loves going to see everyone, she talks about all her friends and the workers there all the time.
I can not thank Little Big Steps enough for giving my daughter the confidence she has gained. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

The nursery have been great with my daughter. She’s been going for almost a year now and although she is a little shy, she enjoys her days here and is making friends. I think communication with parents about what is happening in the nursery and also what my child is up to could be better. But the staff
care for my daughter very well, so I can’t fault it on that front.

Our son has been at Little Big Steps Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Knowle for two years and we have been extremely happy. The staff are professional, friendly, helpful and know the children and their needs extremely well. Our son has continued to develop in a safe, secure and fun environment provided
by all the hardworking staff. In relation to the current pandemic, the nursery and its partner sites have continued to provide continuity of high quality of care in a very challenging environment. I have already recommended Little Big Steps Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Knowle to friends and they have been as pleased as we are. An excellent choice for childcare and thank you to everyone there!

I can't express enough how fantastic all the team are at Little Big Steps. My little boy has been there since December and he loved it from his first day! All of the staff are so kind and caring and we really feel that they know him so well. We were very impressed with the number of activities they
do with the babies, forever coming home with a new piece of artwork or a decorated biscuit! The special occasions are also acknowledged well, even with a valentine's card for mummy and pancakes on Shrove Tuesday! The staff keep the learning book updated, usually weekly, with lots of lovely pictures showcasing what they've been up to which is lovely to see and so easy to access. The days that my son goes to Little Big Steps, I feel very content that he is in a safe environment, cared for exceptionally well and above all so happy to see the staff and his little friends.

My son started Little Big Steps in the baby room and is now in preschool. He loves going to nursery learning new things and often will come home talking about his day at nursery. The staff are really friendly and always tell me about my sons day in detail. The nursery has good outdoor space for the
children which my son loves as he always wants to be outside.

Wow, what more can I say, this is definitely the best nursery I have ever had a pleasure of being with and I have had a few, the managers are top-notch and make me and my little legend feel very welcome. The rest of the crew are so welcoming and make a point of telling me how my son’s day went, what
he did, what he ate, what he played with etc! They constantly upload observations and their security which was a very big factor for me gives me such peace of mind!
My little man loves going to nursery and always leaves with a massive smile on his face, if you are reading this, do yourself a favour and listen to what I am writing you won’t regret it!

My daughter has been attending the nursery full time since a baby. She has learnt so much since her time here and is always excited to come and tell me about the different things she has done that day. Staff are really helpful and friendly and have ensured I know details about her day and how she has
got on, I also get to see the different things they have been doing through the learning book app and also their Facebook page. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Simply put, they are amazing. The team are friendly and my son is always happy to go in with them. The handover at the end of the day is never rushed, even with the strictures of covid, I think the team have handled it really well. They have raised really helpful points and are always happy to discuss
any requirements we may have.
As for the main reviewer, he is always demonstrating new skills that he's picked up. He likes to sing and comes home with a new song every week it feels like.
The updates on the learning book are great, and it's lovely to see what he's up too.

My son loves attending nursery here. The staff are really friendly and informative. He completes a range of activities each day and loves interacting with all the children. He often talks about the lovely snacks that he’s had during the day and the meals offered are a real good variety. I love that
he learns about all different events that happen and love seeing the little pictures that he makes. I look forward to receiving updates on the learning book to see what he’s been up to. I’m really glad we chose this nursery.

My child loves coming to this nursery, so much so she cheers when we enter the car park and is sad when we pick her up! There is a lot of outdoor space which is so important to us because she loves being outdoors. Her online learning log is regularly updated so it is lovely to see what she is doing
when she attends and she brought home a lot of arts and crafts at Christmas which was lovely. At pick up the nursery staff always fill me in on what she has been up to and they are so friendly to talk to I feel confident leaving my child with them. Their opening hours is also so convenient as I found a lot of nurseries didn’t open until 8 so having that extra hour helps with work flexibility.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.213)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.213) out of 10 for Partou Little Big Steps Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.106 for Partou Little Big Steps Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (14 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 104 Ratings = 4.106
  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 4.107 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Little Big Steps Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.407
  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.
