Partou Worcester Royal have taken care of my daughter since she was 9 months old. They have provided an excellent service and made the transition back to work easy. My daughter has loved her time at the nursery and looks forward to going every day.

My children adore attending this nursery and they have come on leaps and bounds. Staff will always go above and beyond to meet their needs. At each stage/room change staff have got to know my children so transition has been easier and when it has been overwhelming adaptions have been made to make the
process easier for them. Management is also very supportive and I know I can raise worries or concerns and this will be supported in all aspects.

My niece and nephew love coming to nursery. They are always talking about their days, their friends and what they have got up to that day, from playing, eating and new things they have learnt. When I've picked them up, security checks have been thorough, which makes me feel they are in a safe environment.
It's also nice to hear what they have done on a daily basis

Great staff team who have been incredibly welcoming and supportive of my son! He has been at the nursery for nearly 2 months and is absolutely loving it. It was a big change for him starting nursery and he was very nervous but the incredible staff have supported him with the transition and now he doesn't

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Partou for the past two years, and she has absolutely loved her time there. She's always looked forward to going to nursery, which is a testament to the warm and nurturing environment the team provides.
The entire staff are incredibly dedicated to ensuring the children
feel safe, secure, and are continuously engaged in ways that support their development and curiosity. It's been so reassuring to know that my little treasure has been in such capable and caring hands while I've been at work.
As a parent, I've also felt genuinely supported by the whole team throughout our time there. Although my daughter is now very excited to start school in September, I know I'll feel a real sense of sadness when we say goodbye to this wonderful nursery.
I honestly cannot recommend Worcester Partou highly enough - they are truly superb.

Such a lovely place to send your child, my little boy absolutely loves it there, staff are caring and compassionate always ask whether they need to know anything when dropped off in the morning.
Food is varied for the children and lots of snacks and fruit offered throughout day.
Great in hot weather.
Safeguarding is very good there alway keeping an eye on injuries from outside the establishment. Amazing care and lovely people.
Wished we could receive more pictures and updates through the day of what they have done

We so happy with all the team do for my child at the nursery, he is absolutely thriving.

my child loves coming to nursery. She enjoys Playing with friends and talks about her day when she gets home. She likes her key worker and other care givers in the nursery.

the menu can be a little odd at times.

My son loves the two days he is at nursery, every day feels unique in terms of what he does and he loves the outdoor space.
The staff are fantastic and as they get to know your child they can tailor activities to support their growth and understanding. Plus they follow the interests of the children
- world book day led to a lot of underpants drawing / designing based upon a book they all read. It's just a fab nursery and my son has settled well.

The care and kindness towards my son has been second to none. Although he didn't enjoy drop off it didn't take long for him to be having a great time playing and interacting with other children. My only feedback would be regarding communication, the observations were often not uploaded until the next
day and there were few pictures/info on the daily activities. It would be good to have more info on what they had done each day. Overall an amazing place for my son to begin his developmental journey. The staff are so lovely!

Nothing is too much for the staff at Smileys, they are all friendly, caring and compassionate. My extremely shy son has really come out of his shell thanks to all of the staff and he has started to engage well and play with the other children. Returning to work was much easier than expected and I have
always felt comfortable leaving my child in their care. I’ve since had a second child and we wouldn’t consider any other nursery. I find that not only do they do their best by my child, they have been very supportive and a comfort to me when needed. They are all simply wonderful.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Partou Worcester Royal 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.847 for Partou Worcester Royal Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.847
  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 Worcester Royal Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 23 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 23 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.
