My child always receives a warm welcome each morning and I have noticed he is much happier going in now than before the nursery changed to Partou. The activities always look fun and educational, and I love seeing photos of them on the app. I also like that the food my child eats is nutritious and varied.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My little boy has come to this nursery since he was 7 months old and has loved it. That being said since the manager joined back end of last year (2023) he has come on leaps and bounds. I have given some real concerns about previous management/advice or lack of received and the manager has literally
turned both my husband and me around the other way. She has been on hand and supported further things we have needed that were never done. The staff are more relaxed and can see they are thriving and it’s such a lovely thing to see. Sad for my little one to be leaving in September and so glad the manager came in when she did, only sad it wasn’t sooner. The staff are so lovely and engaged with the kids and the activities that now happen with parent interaction are amazing.

Fantastic nursery! My twin boys have been here for eight months now, and they absolutely love it! They run through the door without looking back. Staff are kind, caring and really do take great interest in the children. They make such a fuss of them both, and the boys love them all. They listen carefully
to special requirements and are very good at working together with parents and the children’s home-nursery life, keeping the routine the same. The manager is very supportive and listens to any concerns around the children and will do her best to help.
The nursery is clean and colourful and has a huge garden space. They are always celebrating holiday occasions days doing activities and making things.
They have a special app that is updated with photographs of the children, a message of what they’ve been doing for the day and what they have learnt. Since attending, both boys have come on so much with their understanding and speech. But most importantly, all children and staff look happy! Highly recommended

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Jack and Jill Day Nursery Upton for almost two years. He runs in almost every day and talks a lot about the staff and other children when he's not there.
All three of my children have been to this nursery, and the consistency of care has been high throughout. The staff clearly
know the children very well.
I particularly appreciate the daily updates we have via the app, which allows me to see what kind of activities he has been doing during the day.
The staff have always been supportive and flexible, and have been great in supporting my son through potty training.
I recommend this nursery to any friends of mine who live locally!

I have had two children attend Jack and Jill Day Nursery Upton. My youngest is still there, and he runs into the nursery every day and is always excited to go. He loves the bond he's made with the staff, and they always do their best to make sure he is happy and safe. I can see what he's been up to
every day through the learning book, so I don't miss out on anything. The team here are so friendly and do such a great job with the kids.

My daughter has been attending Jack and Jill Day Nursery after moving from another nursery in the local area, and I can honestly say it was the best decision we made moving her. Every morning she is so excited to attend and always comes home in a brilliant mood and full of energy. The learning book
app, in which the staff upload personal pictures is a great insight into what my daughter gets up to during her time at nursery, and it’s really lovely to see the variety of activities which encourage her learning.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Partou Upton Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.910 for Partou Upton Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.91
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Upton Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 13 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
