Absolutely love this nursery. The staff are accommodating and friendly and the nursery itself is clean and well organised. I especially appreciated how they handled the COVID changes and new regulations and appeared well prepared. They have fun activities for my daughter and I really like the tapestry
system that permits parents an opportunity to peak in and see what their child is up to as well as the care provided. Truly very pleased!

When we viewed Children’s House we were greeted with a warm welcome, beautiful grounds, kind faces, great resources and an informative tour which really showed us that this was the perfect place for our daughter. She has been at this nursery for just under a year and she has learnt so much in that time.
Every day she comes home excited to share what she has been up to and using all these new words she has learnt. The staff at Children’s House are outstanding and you can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do and care about the children. My daughter comes home and pretends she talking to the staff on her toy phone! I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a nursery where your child will be happy, cared for and given a fantastic start to their learning journey. Thank you all the staff at Children’s House for what you do, we can’t wait to see what new things she learns in the next year.

Reply from Amy Bennett, Nursery Manager at Partou Children's House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for your lovely words Helen. She has grown so much and we are looking forward to watching her grow even more as she continues her journey with us. We look forward to seeing you back in September

I couldn't recommend Children's House enough. The staff are amazing and have gone above and beyond helping my daughter settle back in after lockdown. I really appreciated the calls after I left her upset to let me know she was OK and having fun.
I love their concept of learning and they have lots
of outdoor space, which is a big win for us as my daughter loves to be outside (come rain or shine!). I also love the app (seeing pictures and the daily updates of what she's done).

Reply from Amy Bennett, Nursery Manager at Partou Children's House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Hi Rachel, thank you for the kind words. We have loved settling your daughter back in and seeing how much she has grown over the lockdown has been amazing. We are so looking forward to continuing to watch her grow and develop during her time with us.

My Son has been at Children's House for nearly two years and he loves it. He comes home so happy and he has developed so well being in the nursery setting. The staff really care about the children and I would recommend this nursery to any parent/carer.

Reply from Amy Bennett, Nursery Manager at Partou Children's House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you, Hayley. We have loved watching your son grow into the confident, clever and sometimes cheeky boy he is today. We are looking forward to continue watching him over the rest of his time in the nursery.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for almost a year, started in the under twos room and is now in two to three's group (but currently in the under twos bubble due to the current situation).
My daughter loves her time at nursery. The outside space is amazing and there’s so much for her to
do/explore. The staff are very attentive to her needs and have really helped with her potty training. My daughter has grown in confidence since attending nursery and has even made some friends. It’s a lovely nursery and would highly recommend.

Hi Laura, Thank you for the lovely words, we absolutely love watching your daughter grow and she is becoming such a kind little girl. We can not wait to see her grow over the next couple of years

Lovely staff who go above and beyond with the care of my son. They have made fantastic changes inside and out of the nursery to make it a great place for nurturing the early years learning ethos.
All about the curiosity approach which means lots of wooden toys and exploring through learning.

Reply from Amy Bennett, Nursery Manager at Partou Children's House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for the lovely words, we are very proud of how hard the team and everyone have worked to really develop the nursery inside and out over the last year or so. It has been amaing watching both your sons grow with us and we will miss them when they are both at school

My 13 month old son started at Children's House just over two weeks ago and absolutely loves it there. He had 8 settle sessions which I thought was a generous amount. Then, since starting nursery he is just so happy.
The staff are amazing. So attentive and caring towards the children. They provide
so much enrichment with various indoor and outdoor activities. I am so pleased my son is at this nursery. I feel entirely comfortable and at ease leaving him there and he is nothing but smiles every day. Thank you Children's House.

My grandchildren love the nursery. They are developing well and thoroughly enjoy the variety of activities to do including the amazing outside space. They love the variety of meals provided which gives them the opportunity to try new foods.

Reply from Amy Bennett at Partou Children's House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for your kind words, Clare. We love seeing your grandchildren develop. The children are extremely lucky to have such a variety of foods to try. We look forward to watching your grandchildren grow and develop through the nursery. Amy.

Both of my children have attended the nursery from about the age of 2 give or take a couple of months, and they have both loved their time there. The nursery is well organised, keeps the kids stimulated with different activities and offer a great variety of food. This is important to me as a parent
because I want my kids to eat healthily when they are away from home. The staff listen to parents and follow their lead when it comes to next steps such as toilet training or dropping naps. My youngest, who currently attends, asks regularly over the weekend if he is going to nursery as he has such a good time. He eats well, sleeps well and is an all-round happy child which I definitely attribute to the great staff at Children's House.

Really lovely place for my nearly 4 year old to go to. The staff are lovely and frequently demonstrate how well he is learning via blog, photos and videos and take time to talk at every pickup to discuss the day. The office staff are very friendly, helpful, patient and understanding too. There is a
lot of lovely and interesting space inside and outside to play and learn in and the numbers aren't too big.

Thank you ever so much for your very kind words Nick. We have loved seeing your son grow as a person. We love getting to know the children and their families as individuals.

We have been delighted how our twin girls have settled into the baby room at 10 months. The baby room is spacious and the outdoor area is amazing for them to enjoy. All our communication with the staff has been positive and they take an interest in each twin, how their week has been and their routines.
The staff have communicated well with us to establish a settling and welcoming environment every session. Our twins are only too happy to go to the staff and we are well informed about their day at each pickup.

Reply from Amy Bennett at Partou Children's House Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for your lovely words. The twins are gorgeous and we love watching their characters come out and seeing them grow and develop

My daughter has been in the nursery since the baby room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the preschool and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised
through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

We love seeing our children grow and watch them from babies to preschool. Your daughters are such a pleasure to look after. You will be missed when they go to school.

My eldest daughter came to nursery first at age 3 and she enjoyed it. The reason I chose this nursery is because of the spacious building, a lot of outdoor space, all rooms are organised and spacious and children are free to explore with natural resources. Also at that age, they were preparing for school
routine, I liked that very much.
After 2 years had gone, I had my second daughter and had to go back to work when my baby girl was nearly 5 months old. The baby room is once again spacious, organised, the girls there are great with little ones, they communicate with me asap. I love how much observed freedom toddlers are allowed to explore indoors and outdoors and the toddler indoor gym, what an amazing idea when weather is bad. In time, after more years, I'm planning to have my third one and my other baby will surely be returning to this same nursery too. Also, it's always clean and tidy I really like that.

This nursery has been amazing for my daughter. My daughter is always so keen to go to nursery to see her key workers and also all of her friends that she has met.
As a disabled parent it is sometimes hard for me to get my daughter due to the steps etc as my daughter has got older and moved classes
but if ever I am picking her up there is always a member of staff willing to bring her to my car and help me strap her in, nothing is too much for them.
My daughter starts school in September and we are really upset that she won't be attending the nursery anymore but won't forget how they have helped her become the confident young girl she is and am thankful for all that they have taught her.
Would highly recommend this nursery.

Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words, we endeavour to meet everyone's individual needs and pleased you have felt satisfied with the nursery and staff. We will certainly miss you all as a family once you finally move on to School in September.

I have used Children's House for a number of years and always have rated their childcare and team. They are accommodating, have lots of resources for all ages and really build great relationships with the children. I would highly recommend the nursery. The admin team are also extremely helpful and easy
to book and amend.

Hello Lauren,

Lovely people, excellent site, my son loves his time there. He learns and has fun. The use of the app lets me see how my son is developing and the activities he is taking part in. Nursery weekly newsletters also keep me updated with what he will be doing that week.

Great outdoor space for each of the different age groups. My eldest son is very shy and the staff in the pre-school room have done a great job at helping him settle in. My youngest in the toddler room really enjoys his nursery day especially all the 'messy play' activities.


Recently started using

the Tapestry app which I think is really good and it's nice to see photos of my children doing different activities at nursery and reading about their day.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.715)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.715) out of 10 for Partou Children's House Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.938 for Partou Children's House Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 272 Ratings = 4.938

  • b) 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 4.777 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Children's House 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 148 number of registered child places is 29.6. 23 Positive Reviews ÷ 29.6 = 0.777

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2008

I am qualified at ‘Level 3’ in Early Years and have been working in nurseries since 2008. I have worked my way up the ladder, first as a Nursery Assistant, then onto Room Leader, working with different age groups of children, before becoming a Nursery Manager. I have a real passion to ensure the children have an environment in which they can fulfil their dreams and reach their full potential.


As a parent myself, I know how important it is to find the right childcare setting for not only your child but for you also.
