My son has been going here for a year now and we've never had any issues. Friendly staff always willing to do more for you and my little one. A good breakdown of younger ages upstairs and older down, which he will be going into.

My son has been attending the nursery for 2 year now since he was 1 and he has loved every room he has been in. Now in preschool, he is thriving and happily goes in every day. The room leader and the team make sure to have meaningful interactions with kids while also instilling good daily habits. We
are very happy as we can see the benefits and the positive impact the nursery has on my son's social and life skills.

Partou Playtime is such a kind a friendly nursery. The staff are amazing! My son and daughter have loved it here and now our third child will also soon be starting. The bright and airy interior is a lovely atmosphere for the children to play and learn in and the staff take great care in keeping it nice.
The garden area is wonderful. We feel and have always felt so happy leaving our kids here.

We have a had a wonderful experience so far at Playtime nursery, we were supported very well all through our daughters settling in period and now feel very comfortable leaving her with the team there as a home away from home.

Sent my firstborn from 2016. My daughter now currently goes to this nursery and still love it . She's comfortable with all of the staff and we have thorough handovers for nappy changes/ food, what she's been doing during the day and what toys she plays with and new skills she's learnt. All of the staff
are absolutely lovely

My youngest daughter has attended this nursery since she was 1 years old. She is now 2 1/2. She goes in happy every morning which makes me feel reassured. I like the fact that there is lots of space in the nursery and lots of outdoor space too. Having an indoor soft play to use on rainy days is another
bonus.
I feel the nursery has come on so much since my eldest attended and the changes which have been made are for the better.
My daughter enjoys the variety of activities and enjoys playing with the other children too.

My little boy has been with the nursery since October. He is our first child and therefore I was extremely nervous about the whole experience but the management and staff made me and my husband feel so at ease. They gave us settling in sessions so that my little boy was able to get used to it to start
with. He now absolutely loves nursery and has come on leaps and bounds. Everyone there is so friendly and it feels like a big family. Ebony in the under 2’s room is amazing, always a smiley face to welcome us in the mornings, my little one adores her. I couldn’t be more happy I have my little boy with them all.

I cannot recommend Playtime Nursery Shepperton enough as a nursery or preschool to send your little ones to. Our journey as a family has not been an easy one with finding out that our Son was profoundly deaf whilst he was just 6 months in attendance. To say the nursery have been supportive is an understatement
as they have very much been on this journey with us. They have gone above a beyond to listen to expert advice and put into place everything they are able to support our son’s development. My son’s Key worker keeps us informed of his days with them, what they have been up to and truly cares about him. She has even gone as far as to attend British Sign Language courses in her own time. I truly feel that the environment that the manager and her team breed at Playtime Nursery Shepperton is one that is safe, fun, caring and inclusive.

We now have two children at Shepperton Playtime. Our son joined when he was about 9-months-old (now 4-years-old) and our daughter when she was just over 1-year-old (now 18-months-old). While the nursery went through some challenges during COVID, like most others that we know of, the management now in
place is truly excellent and the staff who look after the children have always been exceptional in our opinion. The key workers genuinely care, keep us fully informed, and have developed strong bonds of trust with our children. They eat well, play well and socialise well. Our son remained in nursery during much of the COVID lockdown period and his personal development, including speech and language skills, compared to children who stayed home is very evident. The nursery is safe and clean and provides a warm and welcoming environment for the children. We would not hesitate in recommending Playtime Shepperton to any other parent.

Our boy has been at Shepperton Playtime from 15 months old and is now 4 and a half years old. We have always had a very pleasant experience from being greeted in the mornings by the management to child exchange with the key workers. All the staff are so very attentive and friendly with all regards.
Our boy doesn't need any motivation to get ready for nursery as he's always excited to see his friends and key workers. Not only the care the food is also raved about when he's home. We are also lucky the nursery has such amazing facilities to keep the children engaged all through the day. Highly Recommended!

The new manager and her team are amazing. The interaction between the parents and the nursery team is amazing. We are informed about everything via email and get instant replies to any requests. They are always helpful and friendly. Our daughter is attending only 2 days a week so can't have any high
expectations regarding her education. But I know one thing, she is being cared and safe.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.222)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.222) out of 10 for Partou Playtime Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.611 for Partou Playtime Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.611

  • 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 4.611 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Playtime Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 11 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.611

  • 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.

I have worked in daycare for the majority of my career, including 25 years of managing successful nurseries.
