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 Rachelle M (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Nicola L (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

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
Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience
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.

Review from Julie M (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Sue L (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Staff are overall very caring. Children are involved in lots of different activities within and outside the nursery.

Communication with parents could be improved at times.

Overall Experience

Nursery staff are very friendly and easily approachable. Facilities are great, the only thing is a bigger garden for a 3-year-old group. It's also very convenient that you can drop my child just after 7 am, this has allowed me to extend my working hours and skip morning traffic.

Review from Michaela F (Mother of Child) published on 7 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When the changes from paper to online learning journals are made, I think it would change my recommendation from likely to extremely likely.
It would be nice, to be able to settle your child when they are sad at drop off (you are able before 8 am) or to come in and collect from room so you can see them in the setting but I understand the safeguarding behind this and again when the online journals are active, it will be reassuring to see them once they are settled or engaged.
Staff really get to know the children and at parents evening this is reflected in what they say. When children are unwell they take great care of them and communicate any medicine given.
They celebrate religious events from around the world which I personally love!

As my child loves outside space, I truly value the grounds they have and each room has it's own outdoor space. It will be fantastic when he is old enough to also enjoy forest school that is offered.
