We only joined a couple of weeks ago, but since joining we have been made to feel welcome and kept informed the whole time. We were nervous leaving him for the first time, but felt safe and reassured. We would definitely recommend, our son loves his time at nursery.

Our daughter joined Little Acorns Nusrery this month and we are so pleased with how she has settled. We love the communication in her diary of what she has been up to and all of the pictures posted. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming and it has been reassuring. Our little girl is now full
of smiles when she comes into nursery and we can't wait to see her progress and have lots more fun.

As a first-time mum, I was very apprehensive about the nursery. The guilt and separation anxiety. However, after a few days, I was reassured to know that I had made the right choice in nursery and my child was happy and being looked after. Can't thank the staff enough.

The staff at Little Acorns have looked after my child so well since he has started there. Every morning he runs in excitedly smiling and it makes having to leave him to go to work so much easier. He has learnt so much from nursery and his speech is coming along so well from all the singing, reading
and playing that the staff do with him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!

My child enjoys coming to nursery. He always says he's had a good day. He is quite a quiet, sensitive boy so I think sometimes gets himself a bit overwhelmed when it comes to dropping him off, but all the staff are fantastic with him. I am very happy with all the tweenies staff. Thank you!

I have used Little Acorns for a number of years with two out of my three children. The first time I walked into Little Acorns 14 years ago, I knew my first child would flourish so I had no reservations when it came to choosing a nursery for my second child, who has also flourished. When my third child
is ready they will also come to Little Acorns. All the staff are helpful and friendly and treat all the children as they would their own. Something I wanted in a nursery when it comes to my children.

My child has loved her time at Little Acorns and I feel her experience there has set her in good stead for her new experience to come at primary school. My child loves the nursery teachers and I have always found everyone to be very helpful and accommodating.

Amazing nursery. All staff are very caring and have a genuine bond with my children, even after my eldest left for school, he is still welcomed by all staff when he comes to collect his sister. Both my children have developed well with the help of Little Acorns providing an amazing environment. They
offer swimming lessons and Spanish lessons and also do just nature days which my daughter especially loves. I will be very sad when my youngest leaves for school as Little Acorns has been a big part of our lives for the last 4 years

We weighed up about five nurseries before choosing this one and we’re so glad we did. Our daughter was a lockdown baby so we decided to put her into nursery earlier than planned, at six months old, in order to socialise. She was a very shy baby, but the staff have gone above and beyond with her. We
had her parents evening recently (she’s nearly three now) and the difference in her is phenomenal. She’s chatty, confident, plays well and all this has really been taught and nurtured in her whilst at nursery (she’s in five days a week). I also love that the nursery make an effort to put on events for the kids (and parents too). We are looking forward to the garden party next week. Huge praise for the staff, if we have another child we know where we’re sending them!

Our son has attended since he was 6 months old, we looked at several nurseries in the area but once we visited, we were in no doubt where we wanted him to go, the nursery stands out from the rest. There are a lot of long-standing staff, management are approachable. The nursery is run to a very high
standard. There are daily posts on social media which are amazing, and the activities the staff create are so engaging. There are lots of extras too; swimming lessons, French and Spanish lessons, Just Nature Days, we have recently attended a parent's evening where we got to stay for a 'stay and play session' and hear all about his development, there was also a delicious buffet. The food is all freshly cooked from scratch by the nursery cook, I wish I could eat there! There is a garden party in a few weeks with a mobile farm. The outside area is a hidden gem. The staff are nurturing and treat the children like their own, they go above and beyond each and every day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) 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 64 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 64 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 4.923 for Partou Little Acorns Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (712 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 768 Ratings = 4.923

  • 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 64 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 64 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.
