My son has been at The Little People since 2018 and he's heading off to school soon. He absolutely loves going here and we've been very happy with them too. The staff are very attentive and nurturing.
We've been particularly happy since the preschool was split into two groups as the children became
more focused as it was more peaceful.
The staff have dealt with Covid-19 very well and I have felt that it was a safe environment.

We have had children in this nursery since 2014 and I must admit, we weren't overly happy when my eldest attended but then management changed shortly before he left for school and before my youngest attended. It has improved a lot since then and we are finding there are not a lot of staff changes now
and we are being kept informed of any general changes. It has been a challenging time recently and the nursery has handled the whole situation so well. We felt it was a very safe setting for our child to return to and he has been very happy there. He will be moving up to preschool soon and I am looking forward for my son to spend his preschool year at The Little People. I can't recommend it enough. All the girls are lovely and they really do care.

The Little People Day Nursery has done everything it possibly could to welcome children back following the global pandemic this summer. From managing the personal belongings system, to entrances and exits, from safe activities they set up to the care and affection they give my son, they have been immense.
At no point did our son feel nervous about going in, and he has loved seeing his friends too. Thank you to all the staff who are wonderful, two in-particular who have been the main staff in our son’s bubble. We are so grateful for all you do for him.

Our son has enjoyed his time at Little People. He has formed firm friendships and received excellent care over the 4+ years he has attended. The staff are excellent at picking up on the children’s interests and using them to extend and develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the world.
Measures put in place for reopening after lockdown meant we felt confident in our children’s safety when returning to nursery. The staff have been outstanding in communicating with us as the children have resettled including updating us during the day by phone or email as well as at handover times. The actions of the staff show a clear interest in and a genuine affection for the children meaning we feel they are really valued and well cared for when we can’t be with them.

My little one is in bubble 2, or the toddler room, obviously due to the virus and keeping everyone safe I haven't been inside, however, I was worried about dropping him off as he can be very shy, however he loves ringing the bell on the gate and he runs in excited every time I drop him off, he is always
happy and smiley and this shows how much he loves being at nursery and the feedback I get when I collect him shows how much fun he had had, what I love the most is they find something your child is interested in and then expand it, he loves dinosaurs so they make his play and learning based around his interests.

Both of our sons attend the Little People Nursery and have very much missed attending during lockdown. Our eldest (two) returned yesterday and the joy he displayed at being back speaks volumes. During what has been a difficult time for all, we have been kept up to date with the changes that are happening
at nursery, all in a very positive way and we've felt fully supported. The team are amazing and we can't wait for our youngest (who we have been shielding) to return.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Little People. Every staff member we've encountered has been friendly, welcoming and full of smiles. Our little girl has been here since last September and has just thrived. It's wonderful seeing how excited she is to go in the morning and hear how much fun
she's had in the afternoon. Little People have a holistic and child-led approach to learning and really get to know and understand children as individuals - the staff really are just as invested in your child as you are. Our little girl has recently moved into the rising three's and is just besotted with her new keyworkers, and asks to show them pictures on days she's home (this is where tapestry comes in handy as it's so easy to upload a picture or notes on what you have been up to and to see what happens at nursery). They've been so supportive during lockdown, and communicated and adapted superbly, which speaks volumes to both the caring nature and proficiency of the team.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery here; she happily waves goodbye and always has a great day. The staff are lovely and returning back after lockdown, has been really well managed. Her two keyworkers are really genuine and care. Recommend to anyone looking for a nursery place, she has been
there for just over 2-years since she was a baby and I’m glad we chose this place!

Reply from Emily White, Manager at Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School

Further to returning during Covid-19 in alignment with government guidelines, we have been extremely impressed with the arrangements put in place. The risk assessments and applications of the government guidelines have been fantastic. A special thank you to the two ladies and the team.

My little one has been attending for over a month now, and absolutely loves it. I like that they try and do different activities with them every day, and are helping him with his development (trying to walk). The app gets updated every day, so I feel like I'm not missing out on anything and I can see
how he's developing. Our keyworker has been fantastic and have no worries about leaving him there.

We have been very pleased since enrolling our child. He has developed lots of skills which I believe are aided by the interaction and activities provided. Settling in wasn't easy but two particular members of staff, as well as every other member of staff made him feel comfortable. Can't fault.

Our daughter loves coming to nursery. The staff are knowledgable, friendly and love our children. They work hard to make sure my daughter's interests are explored. The preschool annexe is calm and there is always evidence that fun has been had! Our younger son has settled in well and his needs are met
- his walking and talking has really come on since he started in September.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.708)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.708) out of 10 for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.994 for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.994

  • 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 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on 13 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 91 number of registered child places is 18.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.714

  • 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: 2021

I have over 24 years experience working with young children. I trained as an apprentice in my early days and have worked in mainstream, SEN and diverse early years settings.


I have a business management and leadership qualification alongside my Early Years skills. I have been a Deputy Manager for over 10 years, but over the last few years I have worked at our sister nursery in Cheltenham, sharing the management role and really enjoyed this side of the job.


I’m a busy, working mum to two beautiful children, a teenager and a baby, so I can empathise with parents during their children’s journeys through the early years experience and beyond.
