My child has been at this nursery since he was 9 months old. The staff are lovely, he gets extremely excited to see them in the morning and makes the handover very easy. Management responds to emails promptly and answer any questions really quickly. Everyone is always happy to help. The only thing that
could be improved, which I understand can be tricky, is when the children are eating. Multiple times my child comes home covered head to toe in food and greets me multiple times without socks. However, overall the nursery is lovely and a great value for money. Especially with me having to extend the daily hours, it's easy to fit around our work and other commitments.

My son is 2 years old and he joined Field View in February 2024. They offered settling-in sessions where I could stay with him and help him get settled. We gradually started leaving him and if he wasn't settling, they would call me to come back. The settling-in process was difficult, as it is for most
children, but it's amazing to see how much he's come on. I now see photos and hear stories about him playing with the other children and being his usual cheeky self, having fun all day. He still cries at drop off, but never for long and all the staff know him and know which toys he likes and how to settle him as quickly as possible. He always eats really well at nursery too and comes home exhausted and ready for bedtime.

My daughter started when she’d just turned 3 and having never been to any form of childcare before she was not keen on being left. However, all the staff have been amazing at settling her in and made us both feel comfortable during this process which didn’t take as long as we had expected. Now she loves
nursery, will happily go in without saying goodbye and tells me all about her day when she’s home. All staff members are so lovely, caring and friendly. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is considering nursery for their little ones.

My little girl loves Tiddlers! The team are fantastic with her and she comes back happy and full of beans! I love seeing what she's been doing when they post pictures on the app and they keep us up to date on anything we need to know! The nursery manager is lovely and really helpful, if we need extra
days or hours added she will always try and help where possible! Highly recommended.

I cannot rate this Nursery Enough. All of the staff at Tiddlers are amazing with my three children and go above and beyond. My children absolutely love coming to 'school' and always have lots to say about their day, especially the yummy lunches and outdoor play!

The staff at Tiddlers have helped my child so much since she started in the Rising 2's room, they have helped her with her confidence and speech, as well as her approach to food. All of this can be seen when she comes home from nursery.
She is now transitioning into preschool and can't wait to attend
the nursery in the morning! I can't thank all the staff enough and would recommend Tiddlers.

We absolutely love Tiddlers Day Nursery! Our little boy attended Tiddlers and absolutely loved it. He grew up with the staff and as a really shy boy, it meant a lot that he was so confident with them. His key worker was an absolute star.
We loved the environment so much we wanted our youngest to attend
too. She started just before Christmas and she's absolutely loving it! Comes home happy every day and we always feel welcome at drop off and pick up.
My little boy who is now at school loves to go and say hello to the familiar faces too.

My child has been at Tiddlers from age one. It's a wonderful nursery with great staff. My daughter loves it. She used to be very shy and didn't mix well with others. She is like a different child now and looks forward to preschool every week.

Wow! What an amazing place Tiddlers is! Right from the get-go go the staff have been amazing and so caring for my child and her needs, making her feel so welcome when she was so shy.
The staff have done exceptional work with her throughout the 2 short months she's been attending but she's come on
leaps and bounds! Choosing Tiddlers was definitely the best decision I've ever made for my child and would highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a nursery! Thank you all so much and I can't wait to see what the future holds for my child and her growth throughout her nursery years!

My son has attended Tiddlers Day Nursery since he was 12 months old and is now almost 4. I have seen so much development as he has moved through the different age groups, and staff have gone above and beyond at times to follow through with bringing favourite activities from home into activities at nursery
to support consistency and familiarity. I am always impressed by his varied vocabulary, and consistently witness staff modelling kindness and respect for others, which he is now able to display himself both at nursery and at other settings. Tiddlers also has an amazing garden area so if you have an active child the outdoor space is fantastic.

I cannot praise this nursery enough in every way since my little girl has been attending the pre school room, the difference in her confidence, social skills and speech has been amazing! I just wish we had found and sent her sooner! Every single member of staff is a credit and has made her transition
into nursery so easy and for that we are extremely grateful!

I cannot sing the praises of the caregivers more, they are amazing and we love the setting. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about management and I feel compelled to share my experience to warn other parents, as I do not believe mine was an isolated incident. Since being taken over by All About
Children, I have had no end of problems relating to invoices and payments. I would advise any parents using the nursery to go through their invoices with a fine-toothed comb, as I was overcharged for over 6 months, all the while being chased for money that I did not owe. Had I not been vigilant and pressed for an investigation, this would not have been discovered. The whole experience has been awful from the start, I have never received any form of apology or explanation from those involved higher up the chain, and am still receiving incorrect invoices. I will never again use a nursery owned by All About Children, which is an awful shame as the staff on the ground could not be better.

My little girl attends the baby room here and the nursery has got better and better since she started in August.
The current new management team are doing a fab job, we are kept up to date and informed of what's happening in the wider nursery, also fun charity weeks etc are great.
My little girl
is so happy in the baby room, the staff are brilliant with her, so kind and caring but lots of fun too. The girls do a fantastic job. In the morning my child runs into the room and doesn't want to leave.
We have dietary requirements of dairy free and these are accommodated perfectly. There's lots of equipment to play on and now there are new investments into the garden and sensory walls.
I go to work feeling happy and confident my little girl is having the best day and is safe and cared for. Totally recommend.

My two girls love it here at Tiddlers Day Nursery, my youngest is in the baby room and has settled in so quickly and my older daughter is in the preschool room, she has been attending since she was one and will be leaving in August.
All the staff are great and their positivity, passion and drive make
the nursery an amazing place to be. It's lovely that my eldest child comes home and talks to me excitedly about all the things she has been doing and mentioning staff members' names, singing songs etc.
There have been a few different managers since All About Children took over the nursery a few years ago and the current manager is really enthusiastic and dedicated to the success of the nursery and this shows immensely.
Special thank you to all the staff who really are the heart and soul of Tiddlers, without their hard work it wouldn't be what it is today - a wonderful place for my children and others to learn and grow.

I have two children at this nursery, with my eldest starting in January 2020 and my youngest starting in February 2023.
They have continued to support both of my children to their utmost! My sons love going to this nursery!
There have been many changes in management while we have been there and I
can hand on heart say the current manager has stepped into that role with her heart first. It’s so amazing that my eldest comes home talking about her, knowing she is so involved with the children as a manager.
The staff who work in the rooms are incredible and go above and beyond to make the experience educational but exciting.
There have been occasions when we have needed last-minute childcare and everything has been done to help us!
It saddens me that my eldest leaves in August for school; but they have given him so many skills to achieve the world and more!
I’m just glad we get to do it all over again with baby number two!

Lovely nursery, great facilities and staff. They have really helped me out recently with extra childcare due to family illness. It’s great that I don’t have to pack nappies, wipes and snacks as they are all provided in the price.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) out of 10 for Partou Field View Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.934 for Partou Field View Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.934

  • 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 Field View Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 14 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
