My daughter has been at the nursery just over 3 months. She took a little time to settle, during this time the staff were so caring and went out of their way to help her settle, cuddling and consoling her.
The only slight disappointment I had was with the food on occasion - there was no alternative
to sardine or salmon so my daughter was left really hungry as she didn't like those. Thought they are strong tastes and some children won't like these tastes.

My twins came last year and always have the zeal to come to the nursery every day. The staff are kind and engage with them in activities. My twins are always coming home with artwork to show me what they did that day. It's amazing!

Stonehouse is a huge nursery with lots of space for all the children indoors and out and the staff always give detailed handovers at the end of the day and make sure they pass over everything. Having everything included in the price makes it easier as well as your not having to remember everything in
the morning or forgetting to re fill the bag with Nappies!

After our first visit, we knew this was the place for us. Not only is the place massive, both inside and out, but the level of care given by every member of staff is plain to see. The children were all actively engaged with the staff, and smiles were visible on every face. The assistance provided by
the staff to my partner and me as first-time parents helped ease our concerns even further. Since starting, our daughter's development has progressed in leaps and bounds; best of all, she is excited to go and is happy at handover time. Couldn't have asked for a better nursery! Thank you!

Stonehouse is a fabulous nursery.
My little girl is in the baby room, and she absolutely loves her time there, to the point where she squeals with excitement when we're dropping her off.
Two particular members of staff are absolutely amazing. As a first-time Mum, I was so worried about leaving my
daughter with strangers, but four months on, she is loving it, and I think she would rather be at nursery than at home!
She does lots of arts and crafts, has lots of time to play and explore her surroundings, and she loves meal times too.
Thank you, Stonehouse; keep up the good work.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for nearly two years, and it was the best decision we ever made for her. She is always happy here, and the staff constantly keep her stimulated with different activities and adapts them to her needs/areas of development. Particularly for preschool, they help
with learning/getting them ready for the transition to school, and I feel confident my child is going to be more than ready for later this year for school. The staff are friendly, welcoming and always willing to sit down and listen to you if there are any concerns or you want to chat about anything - they have a lovely parent room adapted for this. The space at this nursery is second to none, and unlike any other nurseries we have seen, giving the children so much more freedom with activities/toys. The only thing I would like to see more of is more encouragement for home learning/reading; there used to be a scheme where children could choose a book to take home; however, this seems to have gone.

My daughter has been going to Stonehouse since her old nursery shut abruptly in 2022. They were very welcoming, and my daughter settled straight in. The staff are truly wonderful, and my daughter loves her time here. The range of food and activities is fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone.

My daughter started at Stonehouse in Nov 2022 after we moved to the area. She'd been at another nursery for 18 months before that, and we were worried she wouldn't settle, but we really needn't have worried at all. From the first phone call I had with the assistant manager to enquire about availability,
I knew we'd found the right nursery. The owner is very clearly passionate about what she does and takes great care to ensure the nursery setting reflects that. The staff are incredible, always so friendly, passionate, kind and caring. We take our daughter to Stonehouse every weekday, knowing she is well looked after and, most importantly, in safe hands. We value the communication with the team as well; they're happy to work with us on our daughter's development and always so approachable, even the staff that don't work directly with our daughter smile and speak with us when they see us; it's such a warm environment! If you're looking for a nursery in the Leyland area, this is the one!

My son has attended Stonehouse nursery since he was 1 year old, and now at the age of 4, he is about to move on to school. From babies all the way through to preschool, the staff have been amazing, and we are going to miss seeing them so much. My little boy has learned so much from everyone at Stonehouse
and made some lovely friends. I highly recommend this nursery.

My little girl has loved coming to Stonehouse for the following reasons:
1. The staff are just absolutely gorgeous! They have been so caring, and I know they know my little girl inside out!
2. She enjoys the play and activities. She is never bored!
3. She loved the food! Fussy at home but loves
nursery food.
4. The cuddles!
Thank you for everything, and we are sad to be moving. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

My son is currently at Stonehouse and has been for over a year now. He started in babies and since moved up to toddlers! I can not fault anything they have done in the whole time he has been there! They have a fantastic team, and everyone who has worked with my son has been amazing! Nothing is ever
too much hassle for them! Thank you so much, Stonehouse!

I would highly recommend Stonehouse Nursery to all of my friends and family, and strangers too!
My son has been there for over two years and is now coming to the end of his nursery journey and is ready for “big school”.
All the staff have been beyond incredible - they are highly trained and amazing
with the children. No request has ever felt too much.
The nursery has fantastic resources, and the interests of the children are of paramount importance. Please do take a visit; you will not be disappointed!

Stonehouse is an amazing, nurturing environment for all children. I’d like to say a very special thank you to one of the most caring nursery workers. She works extremely hard in the baby room and has formed a great bond with my baby daughter, who started here at just 10 months old. They all work tirelessly
to ensure the children are happy and well cared for.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.410)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.410) out of 10 for Partou Stonehouse 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.813 for Partou Stonehouse Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.813

  • 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 3.597 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Stonehouse Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.222

  • 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.
