An excellent nursery in all respects. The staff and management are highly professional and excellent at what they do. The facilities are fantastic and they have a really good variety of activities for the children. My daughter has really advanced under their care, they are great at feeding back how
she is doing and working with us as parents to progress in certain areas. The food is also excellent. A lot of care, effort and consideration obviously goes into all they do at the nursery.

My daughter has been attending Best Friends since she was 8 months old, her development throughout has been excellent. The staff have always communicated with me regarding any concerns, how to overcome them and how to enable my daughter to develop in the right way. I am also impressed with the menu
provided which covers everything it should for the benefit of my daughters health. A great nursery, with friendly experienced staff.

My son has been in this nursery since he was 9 months old. He leaves for school in September and we'll be so sad to leave. Staff are fantastic and so caring and supportive to both the children and parents. They have made me feel so comfortable about my sons progress and development, giving him cuddles
and encouragement when needed. Special thanks to his key person who has been incremental in his development and confidence. Excellent nursery, fantastic staff!!!

My son loves nursery. The staff are courteous and treat each child as individuals, they do lots of group activity work like singing, dancing, painting and lots of outdoor play. The staff are professional and enthusiastic, always really to discuss your child's development. They are approachable and I
have full confidence in the care, attention and learning they provide for my son. He is now 19 months having started the nursery when he was 4 months.

My daughter has been here since she was age 1 (she is now 3). She has been well cared for and she has developed really well. Her interactive skills, her confidence, her speech, empathy. She's always enjoyed her days at nursery, and told me how much fun she has had with her friends. I am amazed by the
stories she comes home with. I think Best Friends is a great nursery as they are always looking for ways to improve and always take parents views and concerns on board. I had no hesitation to put my second baby in - she is 1 now and has been here for two months.

My son has had fantastic support during his time at nursery. The staff have gone above and beyond as he had delayed speech and so the support has been exceptional in helping and encouraging his development. In my opinion, the nursery is very safe and secure with 'FOB' entry access or via intercom, the
staff are professional, friendly and above all, caring. I am confident that every time I leave my children that they are safe, happy and will have lots of fun.

Our daughter has only been at nursery for 1 month and we are amazed at how quickly she has settled in. She is a very happy and confident little girl. She is no longer upset at all when I drop her in the mornings as the girls have been so good with settling her. It's harder for me - but the staff are
always brilliant when I call 10 times a day to see if she is okay!!
We are really happy with everything, everyone is really friendly and our daughter enjoys her time at nursery, staff go the extra mile to make sure mummy and baby are happy.

We have two children in the nursery and are very happy as are our children. The nursery provides a friendly, warm and comforting atmosphere for our young daughter. They do age appropriate activities and have toys that encourage their development, she loves the nursery and lights up when we pull up in
the car park. The pre-school class offers extra activities such as swimming and french lessons, which I couldn't be more impressed with. The outdoor area is great and the children are encouraged to embrace outdoor activities, recently sports day. Much more than I expected from a nursery.

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.
