Overall, my child's progress leaps and bounds at St Mary's. I am delighted with the staff members' efforts, and one thing I love is the food on offer. This has meant that she rarely says no to anything.

All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. More importantly, the way they trail, look after and develop my child is exceptional. Her development is really impressive, which I put down to the staff of this nursery. Not only that, they are really flexible with my shift pattern and look to accommodate
extra days when needed.

Amazing nursery. Previously used another and not a patch on this one.
I love everything about it, and my child is so happy and settled.

Our experience with the nursery has been mainly positive. Summer is an issue as my child has hay fever, and going out last summer was an issue. My child has moved up classes - this hasn't been an issue as of yet. I'm very happy with my child's development and social skills as a result of nursery.
Issues
with the finance side of things with the nursery - usually have to query our bill monthly.

All the staff are kind and transparent with feedback. I feel like my daughter is well supported and that she is developing at a great rate. There is also a wide range of activities that the children undertake.

My child loves nursery. She is kept active and entertained. Food seems to be of good quality and varied. Staff members remember your name and include you in their day. More prompt updates of the app would be great, with perhaps more pictures.

My husband and I are really happy with the care and education provided. Two ladies, in particular, are excellent room leaders. They are caring, kind, patient, focused on education, and the children love them. Very happy.

Review from E K (Mother of Child) published on 19 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our child is in the maple room. Whilst there have been several staff changes recently, the staff ethos from the regulars seems to be consistent, and most important to us, is that the staff are kind and loving, always willing to give cuddles and reassurance. I asked our son recently who his best friend
was at nursery, and whilst I meant a child, his reply was a key worker, she is so patient and understanding with him. Two members of staff take great pride in keeping the nursery tidy and always send our son home with a clean face; they are both his go-to people for reassurance. We look forward to getting the daily updates and pictures via the app and love the artwork that comes home. The food served always reads as tasty and homemade with a few treats, which is a great balance. Academically, we are really pleased that it has given him the best start possible ahead of school, thank you.

We cannot fault this nursery. The staff are incredible - it feels like I’m leaving my child with a family member! My child runs in in the morning and chats all the way home about the day. The staff give thoughtful and detailed feedback- they’ve even helped us out with a few things that I’d deem ‘above
and beyond’- with care and love. We will be really sad to leave in July! Thank you all for giving my child such a wonderful start to their journey in education.

I am happy with the care my child received at the nursery. The staff is friendly and helpful. My son is always well-fed when he comes home. I can see big improvements in his development, he talks and learns more. I just want to mention that many times after the children have been playing outside, he
comes home with wet shoes or trousers. I think the outside play area has puddles or is not dry.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
To begin with, I came across of few issues with the nursery that concerned me, however, I raised these with the nursery, and they were quickly addressed and sorted. Since January 2022, the nursery has massively improved, this may be due to new staff and a change around. I feel confident that my child
is in the right care. I am happy sending my children there, knowing they are being looked after and in a happy safe environment.

The staff at St Mary's over the last three years have been great! The facilities are good, regular daily feedback is always detailed, and also captured on a phone app with photos. Management communicates changes and updated regularly. Very pleased and happy with the care and support provided. Thank
you, team St Mary's.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.649)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.649) out of 10 for Partou St Mary's Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.649 for Partou St Mary's Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (355 Excellents x 5) + (123 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 502 Ratings = 4.649
  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 St Mary's Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 42 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 149 number of registered child places is 29.8, which has been reached with 42 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.
