Couldn't be happier with the experience my son has had so far at the nursery. The activities always seem varied and the pictures we view each evening he also seems happy and as well as playing we have seen his progression.

One of the best nurseries I know. Cannot fault anything, the staff are amazing and put the nerves of leaning your child at ease. The space of the nursery is fantastic for children to make use of the outdoors.

Fantastic nursery with excellent approach and brilliant environment. Staff are friendly and respond to every child's individual needs. They get to know your child really well and as a result are able to confidently follow children's interests, plan in the moment, observe and assess accurately. The Montessori
approach means that children are able to explore and extend their learning through play in a way which develops their knowledge and understanding of the world.

Langley Gorse is the best nursery I have come across. My child has been so settled and leaves with a smile on her face every single day. They provide me with so much feedback including pictures of my child and she has learnt so much since being there. The staff are all so lovely!

Both my husband and I adore the nursery and the care they provide for our 15 month old son. He has become more sociable and is able to relate to adults a lot better. In the future, if we have more children, we will definitely be sending them to Langley Gorse Nursery.

Since the manager has taken over this year, I cannot tell you the improvements I have seen. Firstly in parent communication, professionalism and the care for my son. The resources and activities set out are amazing, he comes home every day and tells me what he has got up to. He loves every second and
had built some lovely positive relationships with the staff. Nothing is too troublesome for the new manager she strives for improvement every day! And listens to the parents I have also seen physical improvements to the nursery environment which look great.

We couldn't be happier with Langley Gorse. All the staff go out of their way to make the kids feel happy and welcome. Our boys have thrived here and are always happy to come to nursery. I'm not sure how they persuade my youngest to eat such a variety of food (he won't eat at home), must be magic! I
would not hesitate to recommend Langley Gorse, it's a fantastic place and we are lucky to have it.

Langley Gorse is a lovely, friendly and caring nursery. I couldn't rate it high enough. Both of my children have attended Langley and have loved every minute of it.
They have made great friends with other children and love the staff.

My son has attended Langley Gorse since he was 11-months-old. He is now 3 and for him, it really is a home from home. He has developed so well since he has attended, both in the baby room, rising two's and rising three's. The staff have developed a trusting relationship with both him as well as us and
I couldn't be happier knowing he is attending a nursery he enjoys, looks forward to going to and we can be safe in the knowledge that he is safe there.

Wonderful place with amazing staff. My son needed a few settling in sessions but now absolutely loves it there. The rooms are age appropriate and the huge garden is an added bonus. It's a very safe environment and I have total faith in the staff. Truly fabulous nursery would highly recommend.

My daughter has attended Langley Gorse Day Nursery for two-day days a week since she was around 10 months old. She had several free settling in sessions and quickly established bonds with key staff.
The nursery staff are so friendly and caring. My daughter was well supported in going up to her next
room and quickly learnt the new routines.
The extensive grounds and space allow the children so much freedom to play and explore.
The use of the EY Log, the online journal, is handy for us to see what she's been up to throughout the day and allows us to add photos and videos of things she does at home too.

My daughter has been attending Langley Gorse since she was 12 months old and has just moved into Preschool.
I cannot rate the nursery high enough the staff are amazing. I have found them so supportive when my child was transitioning through the classes and always understand.
Any parent looking for
a caring, supportive and stimulating environment for their child should seriously consider Langley Gorse.

Had to remove my child from the nursery due to a lack of supervision and behaviour management. Complaint made to Ofsted regarding this and concerns escalated to safeguarding team at the local authority. The building, resources, and space are amazing, but please do not be fooled to send your child here.
My child did not learn any nursery rhymes or know of any, in their new setting they are thriving. I am very upset as a parent that I did not spot the poor education and childcare that was being provided to my children. One particular practitioner was exceptional in her care and went above and beyond and other staff members, however, it seemed that learning and development were not in place for staff to understand how to safely deal with behaviour. Risk assessments were not thorough enough to prevent children from injuring themselves of which mine did more than twice resulting in scars. This is also logged as an Ofsted complaint on the Ofsted web page. Please do your research before sending your child to this setting.

Reply from Teresa Palagano, Senior Manager at Partou Langley Gorse Day Nursery & Pre-school

I would thoroughly recommend Langley Gorse Nursery. The setup of the nursery is beautiful with so much outside space and activities in the garden every day.
There is a range of different exploration activities that the children can participate in that get changed regularly as do the setups of the
room.
My daughters have never come out of nursery with anything but smiles, leaps and bounds.

My child started nursery back in July 2020, at the age of 14 months. He started in the under 2's group. His settlement was very difficult as it was a huge change for such a small baby, especially with all the restrictions due to the pandemic. Both me and my child had great support from the whole team
that I'm grateful for and within weeks he settled very well and is loving his second home now. I was worried that changing the group for raising 2's would have an effect on him but it seems there was no issue at all and my child not only loves his new room but also adores his key person. In the morning he is waving bye-bye with a smile on his face. I would recommend the nursery to everyone looking for a place where the baby is happy, safe and loved and the parent has peace of mind. I also chose the nursery because of all the indoor and outdoor facilities. We couldn't be happier with our choice.

I have a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old at this nursery and they both love it. I was anxious about settling in my 1-year-old given the Covid restrictions but the staff have been amazing at making sure she has settled in really well - she now happily walks in like a confident little girl, which is due to
how the staff have made her feel comfortable being her. The lovely countryside setting really makes this a lovely nursery with plenty of outdoor space and activities. The nursery have been really informative given the Covid challenges and have kept us up to date on a timely basis.

I have two little ones attending the nursery 3 days a week. Rising 3's and rising 2's. The staff at Langley Gorse have been exceptional. We struggled to send in our older child post lockdown without tears every morning despite having a great time once he's there, as a parent it's heartbreaking to see
them crying, but the staff have been super supportive and using encouraging techniques and patience he's having much better mornings. The nursery app is brilliant, reassures us they're both OK and doing well.
I was worried my younger one would struggle to settle given she spent most of her first year in lockdown, but she's settled in brilliantly and can see that she has bonded beautifully with the staff and key person.
The nursery has also put in place very good safety measures around covid. It's shame we can't go inside and see the rooms and layout, but it's reassuring that they're putting the health of the children first.

My son has been attending Langley Gorse for just over a month and he has come on leaps and bounds since being there. His key worker has been amazing and has created a real bond where he feels safe. I could not be happier with the nursery and the staff are all so friendly. The app they provide for day
to day information is also really great it gives such peace of mind knowing everything without having to ask after every session. I'd 100% recommend the nursery to friends and family!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Partou Langley Gorse Day Nursery & 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 52 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 52 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 4.958 for Partou Langley Gorse Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (599 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 624 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 Langley Gorse Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 52 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8, which has been reached with 52 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.
