Partou Little Big Steps is a purpose-built nursery within a thriving community park in Knowle, Bristol, where children's early years education extends well beyond the classroom.

The building was designed with children in mind from the outset. Each age group has its own dedicated space, from the youngest babies through to children preparing for school. The most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025 observed that children were happy, confident and...

Review from L O (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter has been coming to Little Big Steps since she was a year old and has always absolutely loved it! Every room is clean and fully equipped with toys and activities suitable for that age range. The food always sounds really nice and I'm often told my daughter has second and third helpings! The staff are all so lovely and seem to have goo relationships with the children. Would highly recommend Little Big Steps to any parent.

Review from Jasmine T (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Without this nursery, I would be unable to work - the team enables me to leave my child knowing he is safe and having fun. I think as mums we deal with a lot of guilt with putting our children into childcare, but with little steps, it definitely makes me feel at ease and allows me to focus on work while I'm there. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
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.

Review from Justine B (Mother of Child) published on 25 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from D R (Stepfather of Child) published on 24 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
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!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.
