Partou Stockwood Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School

Staff at the nursery are all very friendly and approachable. My son is very well looked after whilst attending the nursery. Staff at the nursery take on board any changes to my son's needs or any concerns I have. I am kept up to date well by any changes at the nursery by email.

We've had our baby at this nursery for a couple of months now and it's been a really positive experience. She's settled in well and seems happy, which is the main thing for us. The staff are friendly and approachable, and communication has been good - they keep us updated and are always easy to talk to. The environment feels safe and welcoming, and overall we're pleased with how things are going so far.

My daughter attending this nursery from 9 months old. They are really lovely and accommodating. Always helping with the settling seasons and tips for me regarding the feeding as she had allergies. She seems happy and playing now and I am relieved. Great job they are doing. All the staffs in the baby room are kind and hard working.

Our eldest also attends the nursery and has done so since 10 months old. We used to have issues with communication, high staff turnover and reliability however in the last year, new management has resolved these and I am pleased to now give 5 stars.

We've had a wonderful experience with this nursery. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's development. My daughter has been very happy here, and we've been especially impressed with how supportive and well-managed her transition to the next room was. The activities are always engaging, and it's clear a lot of thought goes into creating a nurturing environment. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend this nursery to other families.

My daughter started the nursery in rabbits this month, she is absolutely loving it. The staff are so friendly when she first arrives and theres always a warm welcome, my daughter has come home singing all the new songs she's learnt and talking about the nursery. Staff are always keeping me up to date on what she's done and what she's ate for the day.

We honestly couldn't praise the girls enough and it has taken a massive worry off our shoulders that he is getting on well and enjoys nursery.

A great nursery with lovely attentive, caring and enthusiastic staff who really get to know the children. The facilities are great - good outside play areas and lots of varied activities inside - and it's located off a quiet road. Paige and the team have done a great job over the past year. Would recommend.

We have had 2 children attend Stockwood Lane (one still there) and despite there having been a few issues over the last few years this last few months we feel they've really turned a corner and we are now super happy that our son has a place there. There is now good consistency of staff, much better parent communication and our son is very very happy with his key worker Madi. Paige & Carla always have tike to listen to any queries and they are a very friendly and welcoming team!

My daughter however loves it here and has reached all her development milestones whilst attending the nursery and the staff are always polite and super friendly. My LG has her favourite key worker and looks forward to seeing her!

100% recommend!

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and seems to have so much fun during the day there. You always worry that your child might not be happy or might not enjoy their time at nursery but we can tell from the way she talks about her days there that she's having the best time.

My child has been attending the nursery part-time for just over a month in the baby room. We have had a good experience. I have had regular updates and good communication from the manager and the baby room lead, both by phone and through an app. The staff all seem experienced and have bonded with my child well. They are kind and affectionate and do their best to help children settle. The children eat very well throughout the day, with lots of variety and inclusion of organic dairy products. It may just be luck but my daughter has not become unwell since starting, unlike lots of my friends' children who seem to be constantly bringing home illnesses from other nurseries, though I do think staff experience, hygiene and lots of time spent outdoors all play a part too. There are thoughtful touches throughout the nursery - from family photos for children to look at during the day, to a bowl of refreshments at reception for parents to help themselves to.

Both really enjoy attending and my eldest daughter has been supported well with her development.

The shortening of hours (currently 8am-5pm) has made it challenging for us due to work commitments but we are hopeful this may change due to more consistent staffing levels.

Communication has improved although it is still inconsistent. The use of the app to record daily food, sleep etc. is intermittent but we are receiving more pictures and updates about our children's learning.

Our children attend term time only but we appreciate being able to book extra sessions in the school holidays and being able to add one-off extra days as needed.

My daughter has been attending Stockwood Lane Day Nursery for over a year now and has loved her time here, taking very little time to settle which I credit to the caring and friendly staff. My top priorities, which I'm sure many parents share, are that she is happy and safe and I never had any concerns otherwise. Although I would say that communication over how the day is spent is somewhat lacking and there wasn't enough information shared regarding progression from the baby to toddler room and how that would happen. I know management have been working hard to solve staffing issues and once progress is made here it would be lovely to have more touch points (father's/mother's day, summer party etc) which would provide an informal way to see how they interact with staff, other children and their environment. That said, my child has thrived over the time she has been at the nursery and is excited to go in on her 'baby university' days and my youngest will be joining this summer.

My eldest child (6) attended this nursery and my 2.5 year old currently attends. Admittedly a few years ago the nursery had some issues whilst they were trying to solve staffing problems (which as far as I'm aware is an issue across many nurseries) however we have had no issues since three members of staff have been running the nursery. You can tell they care greatly about the running of the nursery and ensuring it is a safe, happy and engaging environment and they have implemented several positive changes. My 2.5 year old really enjoys going to nursery, there are lots of activities to help his development, he eats well, sleeps well, has made friendships with fellow children and developed strong bonds with the nursery workers, who now know him very well.

My child has been at the nursery since 2023 and is thriving there. Since extending the amount he attends, his communication and language skills have improved as well as his social development and empathy. He is genuinely excited to go to "school" and is full of smiles and stories once collected. The staffing has changed a lot since he started however this does not appear to have impacted on the level of care or activities provided.

There was some issues with staff shortages but we have always been kept up to date with what's going on and what us as parents would prefer with methods of keeping things running smoothly.

Amazing nursery, such friendly staff and my girls absolutely love going. Always willing to help with questions I have and such a nice nursery too. The space, toys and care from staff are brilliant too.

There have been some issues with staff, which meant amended opening hours, lack of continuity of care and no trips/ activities outside the setting itself. Hopefully they'll improve shortly.
