Storytimes has a well-known reputation in the local community. The placement has facilities for all children and their different interests and personalities. The staff are well trained and nurturing to the children. Daily feedback on your child's day with details about their eating and daily tasks.
My daughter loves the stretch and grow sessions, and has grown, learnt and found her own little personality with the support from the staff team, having been at the nursery since being a baby. Could not recommend enough. Thankyou Storytimes.

Excellent nursery, would not hesitate in recommending this nursery. Staff are friendly, helpful and tailor services to meet individual child’s needs. Menu of meals is superior, with all fresh ingredients to cater for children’s dietary requirements.
Clean, safe and happy environment. My grandson certainly
looks forward to going to nursery and has thrived in this environment.
His confidence has increased through the interaction of daily activities. Well done in achieving and meeting the high standard expected and delivery of service.

Brilliant nursery!
My daughter has attended since she was 9 months old and still enjoys going each week. I am really impressed with how much she is progressing and her kindness for the other children.
The staff are lovely and approachable.

My son is 6 months old and has been going to Storytimes for 2 months now. I was anxious about sending him to nursery so young however he absolutely loves it and has such an amazing relationship with all the staff in the room. He always has a smile on his face when he sees the staff and when I collect
him. Storytimes were amazing during his settles and put my worries at ease. Thank you to the baby rooms for making me and my boy happy and all of the staff for all of your hard work!

I couldn’t have chosen a better pre-school for my little one. The staff are just the absolute best and he has the best relationship with them all! They are so attentive and caring to all children. All staff constantly have positive and happy personalities and are so so friendly. The setting is beautiful

Storytimes cared for my little boy from the age of 9 months old for three years. He loved his time at Storytimes and made memories for life. Each of his key workers were amazing and treated him with such care and definitely went the extra mile. I would recommend Storytimes to anybody looking for quality
childcare.

We were very fortunate to have both of our children cared for at Storytimes Nursery and I can not recommend them enough. It is daunting, and also upsetting, to drop your children off to be cared for by other people, but from the minute we walked in I've never felt anything but comfort and warmth. Both
of my children get excited to go to Storytimes and they have excelled ever since with the help of the staff there. There is constant engagement, new activities, the environment is outstanding and the relationships that have developed with the key workers and my kiddos is something a parent can only dream of when taking them to nursery, I can not thank you all enough for how amazing you have all been.

Well what can I say about Storytimes. Both my daughter and son have attended the nursery/pre-school since they were both 6 months. My eldest has just sadly left to start her new adventure at primary school and my youngest is still at the nursery. I can honestly say that they’ve been incredible in terms
of supporting, loving and caring for both my children. The growth I’ve seen in them both is remarkable and they’ve really enabled to prepare my eldest daughter for primary. Communication is brilliant and the activities they provide are both enjoyable and educational. I couldn’t recommend Storytimes enough.

My son has just left Storytimes last week to start reception, after attending here for three years. I could not have chosen a better nursery for him! The staff are wonderful, as are the management. The latest glowing Ofsted report speaks for itself. I have always been comfortable that my child has been
well looked after, loved and taught.

Being a primary school teacher, I have the opportunity to visit lots of nurseries and I can honestly say Storytimes is the best nursery setting I have been in. The environment is stunning; it’s purposeful and engaging for the children. The opportunities and experiences that are planned for the children
are so creative. The staff spend a lot of time trying to make the environment inviting for the children, going above and beyond for special events like the King’s Coronation. My little boy has attended since he was 8 months old and he loves it! The staff are so nurturing and have built positive relationships with him and us as parents. I feel like he is getting the best start in life. I would fully recommend this nursery to anyone looking.

This nursery was exactly what I hoped it would be, fantastic staff, always happy and smiling. The nursery provides great activities, my child particularly liked the self registration areas, they settled her into the nursey with ease each morning. The Food was amazing and the management team are lovely,
always happy to help and very efficient.

Both my daughters attend Storytimes and love going to nursery. The staff are lovely and friendly, and my daughters have a good relationship with them.
My eldest daughter leaves for school this year, and I know she will miss going to nursery, especially the staff in the preschool room.
My youngest
is in the baby room, and the staff have done an excellent job of helping her to settle into the nursery.

From the moment I walked into Storytimes, I knew this was the nursery for us. From the welcoming staff to the beautiful environments and all the fun, fabulous things the staff plan for the children. They always have exciting stuff going on, and the nursery always smells amazing when I arrive. The food
always sounds so nice, and it’s so reassuring as a full-time working mummy to know they are getting a well-balanced and nutritious diet whilst attending all week. Thank you, Storytimes, for all that you do!

Our family have had the pleasure of being a part of this wonderful nursery and preschool for four years, and this beautiful setting has provided a great start for our children. The amazing set-up in each room using natural resources and such creativity by the wonderful staff brings the environment such
warmth for the children who attend.
The children have encountered so many amazing activities along their early year's journey that has helped build on their fine and gross motor skills. This has been a memorable experience for our children, especially as they transition to the next educational stage of the curriculum. We are forever grateful for the staff who have assisted the children in being the best version of themselves.

My boy has been attending Storytimes since he was seven months old. The environment is amazing, so warm, stimulating and very inviting. The key worker system in place is fantastic, and he has such a special bond with his key worker. They use an online app where I receive his learning journey through
observations with photo and video evidence. They implement his interests from home with his learning at nursery. They take him out on many walks and give him many experiences outdoors in the community. The manager of the nursery is extremely approachable and always on hand with any queries and is always happy from start to finish of the day. I am extremely happy with his progression so far in the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Partou Storytimes Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.833 for Partou Storytimes Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (444 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 491 Ratings = 4.833
  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 Storytimes Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 40 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 40 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.
