I would highly recommend this nursery! We were overwhelmed about making a decision about which nursery to choose our 9-month-old son. There is so much choice to choose from and all with different pros and cons. My son is now 16 months old and I have nothing but praise for The Little People Day Nursery.


Staff

are friendly, caring and built an excellent relationship with my son. He was well cared for, exploring outdoors and nature. He learnt to crawl and walk at the nursery as well as learning to feed himself at meal times.


Meals were varied and well adapted from puree foods to solids. A handover at the end of the day from his key person was well organised and thorough.


We are relocating out of the area due to family support and I can only hope that my son enjoys his new nursery as much as this one. We will miss all the staff at the nursery and wish them all the best - I will be recommending highly of this nursery! A big thank you to his key workers - you have been amazing!

My son loves to go to the nursery in the morning. He always enjoys the outdoor activities mostly when they involve water.


He enjoys the food that is always various and balanced. He has good relations towards his key person. He is happy and this is the important thing.

Lovely nursery and my son has settled in well. He has made lots of friends and really likes the staff. However, sometimes I feel the preschool room can be unorganised and he is left without a peg (I have addressed this already).

Reply from Melanie Russell at Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School

Hi Hannah, Thank you for your feedback. I know that you have spoken with the team and I hope this has been rectified for you. As you know it can be very busy first thing, and at hand over time, it can take a while for the staff to get all the children calm and into their activities. I hope you are seeing some improvement in this now and I am sure I will speak with you soon. Thanks again and I will have a chat with you when I see you next. Melanie.

Totally delighted with this nursery! My 2 (aged 3 and 2) have come on leaps and bounds, socially, emotionally and physically. Attending 2 mornings a week - it's a mission to get them to leave for pick up! Recently they transitioned to older groups and it's been flawless. Staff preparation created easy
settling in stages with lots of enthusiasm and excitement from the children - no reluctance or wishing to go back to their familiar rooms. The key person for each child has been highly motivated, caring, ensuring a personal touch and specific interest in developing and maximising each of my children's interests and skills. Every member of staff knows my children, from the wonderfully professional, friendly manager, to bank staff and even the lovely chef! They take the time to say what my children have been doing and there is never any rush to just drop and leave or collect asap.
The nursery offers great facilities and activities to keep young minds stimulated and developing, but overall, the fantastic staff that create an unbeatable environment. I cannot recommend enough.

A wonderful nursery wanting to help nurture your child to be all they can be. Daily reports on what your child has done help to make parents feel at ease and know their child is safe and happy. I especially love the reports on how your child has developed since they have been at the nursery as well
as goals to achieve to help your child develop and grow. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

This nursery is fantastic. My little boy has a number of additional needs and behaviour problems and they are so good with him.
The whole setting has trained in Makaton to help him communicate and make him feel happier.
They are a very caring and supportive setting.

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our chosen nursery for our son. I'm not sure what caught my attention first, the incredible, friendly staff or the wonderful effort made by key personnel, ensuring our son's needs are met.
Every day you walk in and the day's activities are laid out, you get
a glimpse of what your little one will experience. As a parent, all you want is to see your child enjoy the experience.
Our son has double portions for lunch because the food is so good, and he's not even a big eater.
We are so happy with the nursery, the management and our son's progress and development.

The Little People Day Nursery (2-3 years) are very friendly, welcoming and any changes/comments are quickly sorted. For example, my little girl was fussy with food and not sleepy at night, so they tried fewer snacks and less sleep. My little girl loves the staff at The Little People Day Nursery and
she is very happy!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.652)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.652) 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.993 for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.993

  • 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 4.659 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Hucclecote Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on 12 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. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.659

  • 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.
