My daughter has been attending Smileys for almost a year. The staff are very experienced and friendly. They pay attention to each child’s needs and get to know them really well. They give regular feedback and keep parents in the loop. My daughter enjoys her time here and always goes in with a smile.
Kids always seem happy here.
The staff are very patient.
Smileys also offer flexible hours, which is very helpful.
Always recommend Smileys!
Keep up the good work.

My 2 and 3-year-old attend nursery and love it here. Plenty of activities and separate outdoor play areas for different age children. I work changeable shifts and without the flexibility, the nursery offers I would be unable to do my job. Staff all know the children and its lovely that they have seen
them from babies through to preschool. They have taken sensible and reasonable measures during COVID without detriment to the children's wellbeing.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.614)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.614) out of 10 for Partou Smileys Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 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 4.692 for Partou Smileys Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.692

  • 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 4.922 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Smileys Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 19 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 103 number of registered child places is 20.6. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.6 = 0.922

  • 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.
