Over the years that my child has attended, he has formed bonds with both his friends and the staff who have all been amazing with him. He has experienced so much that has helped him grow and develop into the boy he is and I am forever grateful. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

My daughter has been attending four days a week from April. The staff have been amazing, helping her settle quicker than I imagined. No activity has been the same and each one has been carefully thought out, considering my daughter's interests. I have seen her come on leaps and bounds, including her
confidence and independence. I am extremely happy with her care and would recommend!

Excellent experience for our son who is making so much progress each day. Thank you to all, the activities and hard work/imagination the staff are giving every day. Our son is happy going to nursery every morning and progresses so much each week. We also like the new app so much and being able to see
pictures of the daily activities.

Excellent nursery. My son absolutely adores his key worker, she has put 100% into him and really helped to develop him. I have a child in another nursery which is nowhere near as good as Little Acorns. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to place their child here.

We couldn't recommend Little Acorns enough. The staff are incredible and listen to our every question about our child. It is clear to see that a lot of thought goes into what the children need and how to help their development. Everyone is caring and kind at Little Acorns and you really feel like a
part of the community and family here. Our child is thriving here.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Partou Little Acorns 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 65 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 65 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 4.924 for Partou Little Acorns Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (724 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 780 Ratings = 4.924

  • 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 Little Acorns Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 65 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 65 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.
