Partou St Mary's Day Nursery & Pre-school

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
