My daughter loves coming into nursery and spending time with the staff and the children. She talks about both at home as well as what she has been doing throughout the day. Activities provided always seem to be exciting, engaging, and challenging which my daughter loves. The outdoor areas are fantastic
and both indoor and outdoor facilities are well-resourced with well looked after toys and objects to enhance her play.
My only negative is the app. One of the reasons we picked Little Oaks to move my child to was the promise of being able to get photos of what she was doing immediately to show how settled she has been especially in the first week of her being here. Unfortunately this hasn’t been the case - it took 2 weeks for them to be available for us to see which defeats the object. This has been an ongoing issue throughout her time here with this app. Handover could be more consistent, we don’t always know what she has eaten in the day or if she has had a soiled nappy.

I was reluctant to put my child into nursery initially. The staff were very reassuring and supportive. My child was very distressed when I left her, but the staff were incredible with her and very patient. Now, six months on, she is a confident and happy child and loves nursery and her carers. They
have helped build her confidence and to build on her existing skills. Would 100% recommend this nursery.

My kids go to Little Oakes Nursery for four years and they love it and enjoyed it. Their teacher is very friendly and very kind to them. They did an amazing job, excellent. I would like to highly recommend the Little Oaks Nursery.

My daughter has been at this nursery since 2021. Having been born in the Covid pandemic, she wasn't confident around new people. The nursery team have been fantastic. My daughter has made many friends and has loved every minute of her journey at nursery. The team are always happy and very friendly.
I have never come across any issues. My daughter has really come out of her shell.

Absolutely amazing nursery, my daughter enjoys all the activities available for her and also her little friend group. She has bonded and responds to all of the staff, they are friendly and polite and I have been with this nursery for over a year. The children also receive a well-balanced diet along
with a structured meal plan. The best nursery I could have ever entrusted with my daughter and we will continue to go here. The staff have gone above and beyond to ensure she is well looked after and also has fun.

My son started at Little Oaks Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Accrington roughly 3 months ago. I can't praise the staff enough. He has a meltdown on drop off but they always reassure me that he's fine after a few minutes. He didn't say many words when he first started however I feel he is learning
more and more. He only started 3 afternoons a week to start, now he does 5 as we feel the care he receives is impeccable so as parents we feel very confident leaving him there. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Little Oaks to other parents. Brilliant nursery and very friendly approachable staff.

Very helpful and always going the extra mile when it comes to feeding my child and comforting. This nursery has made my child improve so much socially and also with his speech. Every day they will take a minute out just to let me know how my child has been.

My son is two and a half and absolutely loves coming to nursery to spend time playing, learning and being with his friends. All the staff are lovely and seem to really look after my son’s best interests. Each day they provide me with an overview of how my son has been in the day, what he has eaten,
slept, what he’s had fun playing with etc. The nursery has a low turnover of staff which to me shows the staff enjoy their jobs and are treated well.

My son has been going to Little Oaks Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Accrington since September 2022. He absolutely loves going and does not hesitate to wave me goodbye. He has managed to build up a very good bond with his keyworker but also with the staff in the baby room. I feel my son has come
on leaps and bounds, with good interaction with staff but also with his friends he has made. The staff are always happy to speak to you at any time of day when checking in on how your child is doing. The staff have positive attitudes and very approachable. They love the children as their own. At first, as a first time parent I was very anxious about leaving my son, but now I have no worries at all. I'm very happy with my son's placement I recommended a placement for a friend of mine. Superb nursery, superb staff, happy child, happy mummy. Keep up the good work.

Excellent nursery I highly recommend. My eldest used to attend Little Oaks Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Accrington and it was a brilliant experience for him. Now my youngest lad has attended Little Oaks nursery since September 2022 and they have been absolutely amazing with him knowing my son
has a disability and is nonverbal they are doing everything to put things in place to suit my boys needs

I am so impressed with the level of care my child receives at Little Oaks Nursery. All the staff are welcoming, friendly, and enthusiastic. My son started the nursery when he was twenty months old, and just after a couple of months, I believe he has built some strong bonds with the staff members. All
the activities are well planned and engaging. They are attentive to his needs and give thorough feedback at the end of the day and via the learning book app. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Oaks.

My grandchild has been at Little Oaks from being a baby. I take him each day and am really impressed with the professional and caring nature of all the staff. My grandchild always has things to tell me about his exciting day and the friends he has. When talking about the staff it is obvious he respects
and likes them. When arriving in the morning the smell of delicious homemade food is mouthwatering. Before Covid, I would take him into nursery and the range of interesting and educational toys was huge and the nursery has a warm family feel. I would recommend Little Oaks.

My daughter has been attending for about three years now and loves coming each day and always asks when it’s nursery time again. The staff are amazing, they are very welcoming and caring. My daughter has progressed loads and I couldn’t be happier with the care and education they give.

My baby started nursery when he was eight months old. Having never interacted with children due to lockdown, the staff were very understanding and helpful and allowed him to ease into the nursery setting. He now loves going and has become very sociable. It's great to see him come out of his shell and
be able to explore and try new things.

Little Oaks Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Accrington have been fantastic with my daughter. Her confidence and social skills improved almost instantly and all staff, not just her key workers, have been so understanding and supportive. She enjoys coming to nursery and always has something new to
talk about or has done new activities each day, the food is all homemade on site which she thoroughly enjoys and I have felt as comfortable leaving my daughter in the care of the nursery staff as I would leaving her with my own family. We will be sad to leave for school come September!

Little Oaks of Accrington is a wonderful nursery with nurturing staff. My child started attending at 10-months-old, and the staff were great with helping my child settle in. Children are encouraged to shine through various activities. There are opportunities for parents to be involved with their child’s
development by sharing their child’s interests outside of the nursery. Overall, a fabulous nursery that I cannot recommend enough!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.791)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.791) out of 10 for Partou Little Oaks Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.791 for Partou Little Oaks Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.791

  • 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 Oaks Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 25 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
