Little Big Steps is a wonderful nursery. The manager is kind and accommodating and all the staff are professional and caring. Little Big Steps' response to the pandemic has been amazing and I feel very confident that the nursery is safe and following all the guidelines. As a key worker family, Little
Big Steps have been really flexible to our childcare needs and communicated with us consistently and clearly. My son really enjoys his nursery days and enjoyed a range of activities, as well as the food! I get the sense that all the staff really care about the children. Thanks Little Big Steps, we love you!

My daughter loves Little Big Steps!
At first, she was very scared about going but they have all been very good with her and now she loves going,
She’s always learning new things and singing new songs! She’s made lots of friends too and loves the teachers.
Would 100% recommend this nursery!

I have nothing but good praise for the staff at the nursery, my daughter has developed so well since starting and the staff appear to encourage her at every stage!
My daughter has grown in confidence and appears to be able to interact well with others because of the engagements she gets at the nursery.

Great nursery, our son has been going here since six months old and is now in the pre-school. He loves going every day and always comes back at the end of the day having had lots of fun, as well as eager to tell us about all the things he's learnt.
Would definitely recommend.

Both of my children have attended Little Big Steps for a few days a week and the staff have been excellent at helping them settle into nursery life. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. They do lots of fun activities inside and out. The space is great with outdoor areas also to explore. Never
had any issues at all in any regards and would highly recommend.

My daughter started here aged 2. She has loved it there. Staff are helpful and friendly and great with her. She has progressed so much and it will be a sad day later on this year when she leaves. I'd definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a wonderful nursery. My son really enjoys his time here and is always singing a song he has learnt or telling me what he’s been doing. It has helped him try new foods too which is helpful at home. The staff are really friendly and they make me feel safe leaving my son with them, he cries every
drop-off but that’s just because he doesn’t want me to leave, and the staff are so good with him, he’s gradually getting better. They update his pictures and let me know what he is doing which is nice to see.
Would certainly recommend this nursery. I chose this on a recommendation from two separate friends and I am glad I did.

My son has been attending for a month now and the staff have been outstanding. Starting nursery for the first time during a pandemic raises a scary and difficult prospect, but the staff have made it so easy and I feel that my little one is safe and happy. They give good feedback on what they are doing
each day, how he's got on and what lovely, tasty, healthy food he's eaten!

Our little one has been attending Little Big Steps for over two years and has loved his time here, his experience of the baby room, toddler room as well as the preschool room has been overwhelmingly positive. All staff members have encouraged him in his learning and development and have been kind and
supportive, particularly through this unsettling time of the covid pandemic, the nursery has remained positive and a constant in his life. We would definitely recommend Little Big Steps, thank you for being so wonderful.

Review from Rhiannon L (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely nursery, our daughter started during lockdown so I haven't been able to see inside too much but have been really reassured by their health and safety procedures. All the carers know her (and us) by name and always give a good summary of her day, they seem to genuinely enjoy seeing her in the
morning and she's definitely happy to see them! Really flexible and supportive with excellent communication - I love seeing pictures/videos of what she's been doing when uploaded to the app.
It looks as though they do a wide range of activities - often involving messy play which she loves and means I don't have to do it at home! Her communication is really coming on with good speech development - she often sounds like her key worker so I can tell they've been practicing!

Excellent nursery, my children are really happy coming here in fact, they don't want to leave. They seem to enjoy the food. They do lots of activities and have a lovely garden area. The staff are compassionate and caring with the kids. Certainly comfortable leaving my children here.

Our little boy is 4 and has been attending Little Big Steps in Knowle since he was 9 months.
We love the team there and most importantly so does our little boy.
He is a bright boy and they really nurture and encourage development. His key workers are fantastic and I always know he's in good, safe
hands.
I couldn't recommend this team and nursery more. We are so sad that it's his last year. We will miss them all.

Just a wonderful nursery, from the moment I went there I knew it was the one and got great positive vibes from my visit! The staff are so friendly and attentive to the children's needs. They give time each day to run through that day and anything that needs feeding back. They always spare extra time
to answer any questions, and do a great job updating Learning Book so we as parents can see real updates, pictures and videos of our boys progress. They always have great activities, my son loves going there every day and could not be happier.

Staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating. My son has been here for over 2 years and has been so happy throughout that time. He loved the gymnastics sessions in particular and recently has enjoyed learning Makaton which he shares at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is very welcoming and supportive to children. When my child first joined he was very resistant about going in, and all the lovely staff were very calm and friendly towards him. He now runs in happy to be there. He enjoys the food which is given and often asks for seconds or more, which they
are happy to give him. The range of activities is great and seeing pictures on his electronic diary is lovely. The staff always explain what has happened in the day and are open and honest. It feels like a safe and secure place to send my child with lots of safety protocols to keep all children (and staff) safe.

My daughter loves nursery and it has driven her to be very sociable, confident, and has begun her learning with English and Math which is great to see.
In terms of the team they have always been helpful, particularly through the pandemic and always answer or raise questions when needed.

We absolutely love this nursery. The staff are all really lovely. There is loads of outside space which is really important to us. Our 3-year-old is always happy going there. Just before the post COVID return to nursery she told me how she "loves her nursery so much". They did a series of gymnastics
lessons, they seem to do fun things. We just can't recommend this place enough.

My son went to Abbeywood Tots from 11 months old until he left for primary school. He loved it there and all the staff were great at every stage of his development. My other son will be starting in a few months time and I can’t wait to be part of Abbeywood Tots again.

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.
