My children are always happy to go to nursery and always seem to enjoy themselves. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Even though they do not usually offer alternatives to meals they recognised that my daughter does not like food with spice so worked with the chief to provide an alternative to
ensure she did not miss out on meals. Thank you.

My son literally loves attending. separating the rooms off he has been a lot calmer and excited to attend. I suspect his glue ear gave him issues with loud, open spaces, so in this regard, it has helped him tremendously. In a nutshell, the idea is genius.

Our daughter has had some challenges when she has been dropped off in the mornings but the staff have been very helpful with ideas and support. This has definitely helped. She is very happy in pre-school and is developing well.

My son has recently started pre-school, he has been made to feel very welcome. The staff are always on hand in the mornings to welcome him, as he is sometimes reluctant to go in the mornings. I know, when I pick him up that he has enjoyed his day. His counting is also improving every day.

My eldest daughter attended this nursery before she started Reception and now my youngest daughter is there. The under 2s room is brilliant as they are located upstairs away from the older children which is reassuring for new parents returning to work. One room houses the mobile under 1s and the other
is for the mobile active little ones. All rooms at the nursery are amazingly spacious for the children to explore with a variety of sensory and development toys reflected against their age and abilities. My little one always has big smiles and runs to sit with her friends at breakfast and is doted on by the friendly staff who enable her to be active and outgoing. The food is of a very high standard and provides a good variety to the children's diet and very considerate of allergies. One big plus in my books, compared to other nurseries, is they have a no COI policy which means any upset children are very much cuddled and soothed by the staff rather than left to cry.

Our daughter started age 2 in January 2018 and absolutely loves going to The Little People Day Nursery. She has made great friends and loves the staff. She has had a few key workers since starting there but all have been lovely and make time to tell us all about her day at pick up. Security is brilliant
there which was a big plus for us.
Our daughter comes home with paint in her hair, mud on her knees and sand in her shoes - a sign of a good day playing and exploring!
The food choices are varied and healthy, she probably eats better than us.
They were really supportive through toilet training and helped us get it cracked quickly.
Overall I would highly recommend and we'll be sad to say goodbye in July when our daughter goes to big school!

Our daughter started at the little people in January and enjoys going here; she loves the staff in the baby room! The variety of activities is great and perfect for their age e.g. messy and sensory play. Food is varied and made fresh for the children.
The only downside was our first impression to
the nursery - we had to chase for paperwork and when we turned up for our arranged viewing, they didn’t seem to know we were coming. It would be nice to receive a record sheet each day at pick up, I think the nursery does do these as I have had 2 sheets over the 4 months our daughter has been here but it would be nice to get these every time, or an online record. Overall, it’s a great nursery!

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

Thank you for your review. We are so sorry about your first impression. I hope we have been able to rectify this since you've started with us. We thoroughly enjoy having your little one with us, please don't hesitate to speak to us about anything else you'd like to see!

My daughter likes her nursery a lot, she likes the big garden and the slide. She has good food, healthy and varied. She has access to lots of different toys and "real" things like teacups and wool balls. We really like the ethos and that the children are encouraged to play rather than make a final product.
There has been a definite change in the atmosphere in the last 6 months, feels more happy and welcoming since the new manager started.

Management has improved in the last 6 months the manager and the office team are very approachable and caring towards the parents and always ready to answer our questions.
The pre-school is very organised and the children seem happy when I'm picking up my son. He is excited to go to nursery and has
made lots of friends.

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.
