Great nursery. The staff are fab and really connect with my lad and care for him so well. It's great to see how my boy has come on with his development since starting. Thanks, team. You're great.

My son has been going to Little Darlings Nursery since he was 9 months old and he is now 13 months. He has settled in so well, he loves the staff and is very happy to see them when he arrives. The staff are very genuine and care for the kids. He is also learning a lot while he is there and we are updated
regularly on his progress. The staff have made it easy for us as first-time parents to transition being back at work and leaving our son in nursery. I'd highly recommend Little Darlings Nursery.

My older daughter was just about to finish Little Darlings when I found out I was expecting twins so I put their names down before they were born! After such a positive experience with our first child there was no doubt we would be returning to Little Darlings with its homely environment and caring
staff. The girls have since started and despite changing hands, the nursery feels just as lovely and welcoming and they are enjoying their time there.

If you're reading this review, it's probably because this nursery is one of (if not the) best-rated in Stockport. When looking for a nursery for our little one, we saw that Little Darlings was highly rated and had great reviews. Going to visit and look around allowed us to see that there was a good
chance that it lived up to these expectations. (We have visited lots of nurseries!) Our child has now had the pleasure of being at Little Darlings for around 9 months and they absolutely love it. The nursery was very flexible with allowing extra settling-in sessions to make sure that our little one was managing the change to their new environment. This not only helped our child but helped us too. The room leaders are all very knowledgeable and professional (the current baby room leader is the best practitioner I've ever met!) and the rest of the staff are excellent too. The nursery is well-managed and standards are high.

Since our little boy started in January this year the staff have been amazing. They have really welcomed him, and it's fair to say he loves it and everyone there! In the time he's been here he's gone from not yet being able to crawl to now pretty much running about, the support and help from staff as
he's gone through these milestones has been great. He has a lactose intolerance and it's been reassuring to see how well he's catered for around it. The first time we visited it felt good and it really has proved to be an amazing nursery.

Little Darlings has been the best experience for us as a family. We have sent all 3 of our children there and haven't got a bad word to say about the place. The staff are all brilliant, the level of care is fantastic and all of our kids have absolutely loved going there. We are very sadly taking our
youngest out of the nursery soon, due to us relocating out of the area and I really wish we could pick Little Darlings up and bring it with us when we move!

My children love their days at Little Darlings Nursery. They always come home, full of energy and ready to tell us about all the great days they've had.
They're learning lots, making friends, and developing as little people really well, thanks to the care and support of the staff who take a genuine
interest in doing the best for our children.

This is my second child who has attended this nursery. Both have been extremely happy, settled and content. They have been well cared for both physically and emotionally. The food provided is excellent. Knowledge of the staff and their development of children is excellent. They always have different
activities to support growth and development. Regular feedback is given and they take care to find out how the children are and any identifying needs. Both children have thrived in such a caring and supportive environment.

Both of my children have attended this nursery since the age of one, my eldest will be leaving for school in September and it has been a great nursery for the whole 6 years we've used them. The staff are always kind and caring and my boys have formed great bonds with them and are happy to go each morning
and spend the day.
The food and activities are varied and the staff have helped the development of my boys over the years, and will flag to me any concerns as soon as possible and work with me to develop strategies for potty training, managing bad behaviour or areas where they are falling behind.
I would happily recommend this nursery to any friends or family.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. I felt happy to leave my son every morning. The team and management are amazing and ensure myself and my little boy felt comfortable and safe with him being there with them. Communication with myself was perfect, and the parent partnership the nursery gives is outstanding,
whether it be through face-to-face or emails or messages. Fantastic nursery for my little boy!

When my first child attended Little Darlings over 10 years ago, I was so happy wih her progress that when I had my second child, I was adamant that he was going to follow suit. The staff are brilliant, making my son's time there stimulating and varied. I love the feedback they give each day. The nursery
is warm and welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. I would 100% recommend.

Leaving your child in someone else's care is always a difficult thing to overcome at first. Our youngest child especially struggles with leaving his mum and I but knowing how lovely all the staff are with both of our children gives us a sense of relief and we couldn't be happier with the nursery. We've
had the great pleasure of being able to have our children in the nursery for a few years now and everyone from the management team to all of the rooms (Baby, littlies, middlies and preschool) are all friendly, capable and are loved by both of our children. The food is nutritious and I'm told "very tasty" by our eldest. Both of our children have come on leaps and bounds since being there. It'll be a sad day when both of our children take the next steps into school. If you are looking at nurseries in the area this one is the one to go for!

I don’t have the words to explain how exceptional Little Darlings is. We had a really bad experience from another nursery our son went to before Little Darlings and Little Darlings has restored my faith in nurseries.
Every single interaction contains care compassion and clear communication and the
care and expertise that our son experiences every day he attends is mind-blowing. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Little Darlings and we are so grateful to have a place.
Thank you for everything you do for our little people - we love you!

Fantastic nursery. All the staff are really caring with the children, they really made me feel at ease on my daughter’s first day. My child has really come on with her social, personal, emotional and physical development since attending Little Darlings Nursery. The nursery is well managed and is always
kept clean and tidy, The children have a great variety of healthy foods on the menu. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parents who want their child to not just be cared for but to learn in a safe and caring environment.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 52 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 52 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 4.955 for Partou Little Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (599 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 623 Ratings = 4.955

  • 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 Darlings Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 52 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 52 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.
