There's a tremendous progress in my wards social skills, eating habits and overall growth. This would have not been possible if he was homebound. I'm glad he is getting nurtured under fantastic hands. Kudos to Petite Mayfield.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have had my 2 daughters in petite feet and my youngest is currently in the preschool room.


I can honestly say the staff are absolutely fantastic at what they do, they go above and beyond to make sure your childs needs are met on a daily basis. The most important thing is you feel at ease going

to work knowing they are in safe hands. I love getting wee photos throughout the day getting to see what she has been up to.


Phoebe absolutely loves going into nursery and seeing Abbie, Chantelle and Tehmina she always talks about how much fun she has had during her day.


Thank you so much

Petite Feet has been such a welcoming and warm environment. The regular updates and photos throughout the day are great and the staff are so inventive when creating activities to help little minds and personalities grow. Our daughter has settled so well and gets excited each morning when the staff come
to greet us. We have peace of mind knowing our daughter is in a safe place and all her needs are taken care of so well.

We are delighted by the care provided by Petite Feet in Mayfield. The staff are all amazing and it is evident that they genuinely care about the wee ones and take great pride in their work. We love the welcoming environment and the variety of activities provided, both indoors and outdoors. The kids
really enjoy the theme days, so much effort is put into creating a fun, positive and safe learning and playing environment for the children.

Petite feet are an amazing nursery, they have made our transition to daycare for our son seamless and made sure we are informed every step of the way. Reassuring us as new time parents and offering a kind nature to make us more comfortable with this new world. Our son loves the staff and is always excited

Excellent staff very knowledgeable
Highly qualified. Great empathy with the children, amazing learning opportunities including sensory play
My little one loves her time there. Asks to go on the days she isn't signed up for. Can name every member of staff and is clearly happy and enthusiastic. Her
development has improved since joining petite feet, her social skills have soared. I am beyond happy with the care provided. Highly recommend this daycare

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a first time mum I was very anxious about returning to work and how my daughter would adapt to the setting. My daughter settled in incredibly well and I believe this is all down to the staff. The staff are absolutely amazing, my daughter has such a great time here, she has made so many friends and
there are so many activities (sensory, reading, role/free play etc) throughout the day which both stimulates and encourages her development. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds and truly enjoys attending. The food provided is excellent and this has helped my daughter experiment and sample some things that she may not always get at home.
We are kept updated during the day and also on our daughter's development by her key worker.


I think of the staff as an extension of my family due to the level of care and support they provide for my daughter. This helped me when returning to work as I knew my daughter was really well looked after. I couldn't not recommend enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.903)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.903) out of 10 for Petite Feet Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.903 for Petite Feet Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.903
  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 Petite Feet Day Nursery is based on 12 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 37 number of registered child places is 7.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
