I think my grandson likes being here. Every time I wait for messages and photos to see how his day is. I like that he eats well and sleeps well. It's fun to see him playing and reading books. Good to see him in a great mood.

This nursery has been wonderful from day one. My child took a little longer to settle but all the staff were great and I never worried about leaving him. He did many settling sessions and I was offered extra if needed which was great. The children do so many activities every day and it is lovely to
see. Any concerns have always been addressed by the staff, however, it would be nice if consistent feedback is fed back to me at pick up as that has considerably dropped over the last 6 months. More pictures loaded onto the app would be nice to see as well

Our son has been attending this nursery for just over a year now. He is really happy there and we are always happy/confident leaving him in their care. The staff are all amazingly supportive, especially recently when we expressed that we felt he was ready to move into preschool class. We would have
no hesitation in recommending the nursery to others.
Huge thanks to all of the staff at the nursery. They genuinely care and have the children's best interests at heart.

My daughter has now moved down to the preschool room and settled in quickly. It has been really special having familiar staff stand at drop off so not everything is new. We really appreciate how well-supported she is and encouraged to develop in all areas. Thank you all for your care!

My daughter attended Sucklings Yard from the age of ten months until 3 years old. The care from all the staff there over the years has been exceptional and they have all been fundamental in her development. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The team at Sucklings Yard are honestly outstanding, they genuinely care so much and go above and beyond to look after the children in their care. They looked after my daughter so well and she loved every day at the nursery. The learning programme was brilliant, with monthly recommendations of how we
could support our daughter's development at home. They were so supportive of us as a family when we needed additional ad-hoc days, and showed us time and time again that our daughter was number one priority. We were so sad when our daughter moved up to the local primary and I would wholeheartedly recommend Sucklings Yard to anyone. It is a very special nursery. If it weren't for our daughter's move to the local school, she would absolutely still be at Suckings Yard. Thank you so much again to the whole team for looking after our daughter so well. You're an absolute credit to your profession and individually amazing at what you do.

I was lucky enough that my child settled in extremely well to nursery, but I know this is because he is well looked after and he feels happy and safe to be there. Whenever I pick him up he comes out with a smile on his face. He has had a very positive experience so far!

Our daughter started in February, she has settled in so well and the staff are so caring and kind. She always has a big smile on her face when we arrive in the morning and happily goes to the staff and is still smiling at pick-up. We get regular updates and a handover each day to see how her day has
been. The staff keep them busy and are nurturing.

Very pleased with the nursery, my daughter's development has come such a long way by socialising with other children and carers. It is great that the nursery measure against key milestones and support and encourage them to develop and grow. You get an update each day via the app and you know that your
child is being well looked after without any worries whilst at work! The staff are always extremely friendly and welcoming and have been a great support.

Absolutely loves the nursery. My son is very happy here. He struggled to settle initially, but all the carers were patient with him and helped him settle. He is adopted, and although his needs are minimal, the nursery has been extremely accommodating.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.534)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.534) out of 10 for Partou Sucklings Yard Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.534 for Partou Sucklings Yard Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 176 Ratings = 4.534

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Sucklings Yard Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 15 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
