My daughter has been attending Best Friends nursery since 2018 and she has grown into a confident young girl. Each class my daughter has been in they have gone the extra mile to help and support her in whatever she needs to develop her skills.


My daughter is excited every day to go to Best Friends

to see her friends and her key worker.


Well done team and keep up the good work.

Best Friends Private Day Nursery is outstanding and I confidently leave my 2 year old there when I work. He adores his key worker and gets on brilliantly with all the staff and other children. He has been attending part-time since he was 9 months old and has developed from a painfully clingy baby into
an outgoing, brave little boy. We have every intention of sending him to Best Friends until he is ready for school. The staff are highly skilled and have lots of fun and inventive ideas to fill the days. The food is fantastic and my little boy eats everything he is given, usually asking for more. The new management team are very responsive and never hesitate to help if I need to ask about anything. Five stars!

I couldn't compliment this nursery more, my son has been here a little over two months and there has never been an issue. He has settled very quickly, within days to be exact. He is very content with his key workers, who are absolutely lovely and clearly in the right job. And as a mother, this makes
me very happy to know that he clearly enjoys himself here and is not unsettled in any way.
From day one we were impressed with everything from the overall welcome we received, the information we were given (particularly in regards to Pre- School years and helpful information/help with choosing a possible primary school) and general first impressions - everything is clearly very clean and hygienic. Staff are friendly and professional, we knew we didn't need to view any more nurseries after visiting Best Friends. This nursery more than earns the monthly fee - which considering the hard work and long hours they do - is very reasonable.
Overall we are very happy we chose Best Friends!

Our girls like attending the nursery, they enjoy the activities and they get along with the staff and other kids very well. We recently moved to Manchester and was pressed for a place for our kids due to work commitments, they provided flexibility with the notice period we had to provide and this really
helped us especially with having a set schedule. However, I should mention that their policy of providing four weeks notice before changing any sessions is imperative but overall they are very understanding and fair.
There was a time we battled with collecting the girls on time and no matter how many times it happened, the team offered their support and waited for us to arrive, we were so impressed with this and cannot be more grateful for them.
Overall, the team is amazing and the quality of the education and care is outstanding.


Thank you Best Friends team.

Open and welcoming setting.
Staff are very friendly.
The rooms are open, clean and fun to look at.


The only problem is the lack of communication between staff.
I also feel that it is slightly overpriced for what is offered.

My daughter has been attending Best Friends since 6mths, she is now in Pre-School. Every room she has been in she has loved, and the staff have always been helpful and absolutely brilliant with her. The inside ball pool means that even in wet weather she can have some fun exercise, and with each room
having their own dedicated outdoor play area she gets loads of fresh air. I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a place to send their little one. The food they eat is top notch, even if she wouldn't eat some of the food at home, amazing what peer pressure does!

My daughter attended Best Friends nursery from October 2014 until leaving earlier this year due to relocating.
The staff in the baby room were excellent, so were the staff in the toddler room who were very helpful in supporting her with potty training.


What I feel was a slight let down was the constant

change in staff, either from one room to another or leaving altogether (some excellent ones too). I lost count of the amount of times the manager changed. This had a knock on effect as I don't think issues were addressed as proficiency as they should have been and it certainly lost the personal touch it once had.


Overall, a good nursery which I'm sure could be great again with a long-term manager who gets to know the children and parents and looks after their staff.


Reply from Charlotte, Admin at Partou Best Friends Day Nursery & Pre-school

Hi Laura,
Thank you for your lovely comments about the staff in our baby room and toddler room. We’re very lucky to have such a wonderful team and I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to them all. Of course, we recognise that a long-term manager is important for our nursery and appreciate your frustrations in this regard. We're delighted to say that our manager has settled in wonderfully and has made lots of positive changes to our setting. Thank you once again for taking the time to give us your feedback - we hope you’ll keep us up to date on how your daughter is getting along.

My daughter has been going to Best Friends Nursery from the age of 4months, I have always been really happy with everything.
The girls in the baby room are fantastic and I feel they really care for my daughter. She really enjoys nursery and now goes 4 days a week.
I have recommended the nursery to
lots of friends.
The only bad point I would say, is there have been a lot of staff leave the baby room, which they haven't replaced. The girls are amazing but I think they need one more full time to support them.

I have had 2 children through this nursery. Management change within last year- great improvements in natural play and outdoor provisions. Staff enthusiastic, motivated and very knowledgeable. Menus great for children and support healthy eating. A fabulous, stimulating and nurturing environment where

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.869)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.869) out of 10 for Partou Best Friends 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.869 for Partou Best Friends Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (319 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.869

  • 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 Best Friends Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 30 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 118 number of registered child places is 23.6, which has been reached with 30 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.
