Safehands is a really lovely nursery with lots of space for kids to run around and play, but also many areas for learning and development. We knew we were going to choose Safehands as soon as we finished the tour. The staff are very friendly and amazing with little kids and babies. We are very happy
with our choice.

The nursery has undergone a series of changes in recent months and has now settled into a fantastic routine and structure. Our daughter is excited to attend which is the only review I need! It feels like a warmer and welcoming environment for both staff and children. The manager has stepped into the
role with ease and has had a wonderful impact. Our daughter’s key worker is such an important part of her life and she speaks so warmly of her.
It’s been refreshing to see an influx of new toys, resources and books too. It looks like a new nursery.

Since the new manager took over there seems to be a really good energy about the nursery. There are lots of new initiatives and it feels like the team are trying hard to bring a great experience. The nativity in particular was so lovely and clearly everyone had worked hard preparing it.

My daughter has been attending Safehands Day Nursery now for two months and has settled in really well.
She was very unsettled to begin with, but the staff were very understanding and consistent and she has now formed secure attachments with her room leaders and is very happy to go into nursery.
I'm
very happy with the menus and know my child is getting three good meals a day, plus snacks. I am updated on her day and development on the parent app regularly and get a breakdown of her day by staff at pick-up time.
My daughter has started potty training now and the staff are supporting us with this.
I would definitely recommend Safehands Day Nursery.

Great nursery and staff. My daughter has settled in so well. Staff are able to settle her quickly if she becomes upset and she is happy to go to all staff and not just one particular member. This gives me confidence my daughter has a good relationship with all the staff members in her room. Good selection
of meals and great outdoor space. Would happily recommend this nursery.

My little girl has been attending Safehands for three years. She loves attending twice a week, is always happy at drop off and never wants to leave! Her key workers have been great, especially in preschool. One lady is amazing with the children. My little girl adores her!
There's great outdoor space
and a ball pool inside to tire the children out if it's dreadful outside.
She's learnt so much from being at Safehands and is definitely now ready to face school.
A great team of girls - highly recommend it.

My son has been at SafeHands for four months and absolutely loves it. He is well taken care of. He’s very comfortable with all staff who make an effort to get to know all of the children, even if they aren’t the usual caregivers for them. He spends lots of time outside, doing messy play and reading/singing.
He always sleeps well there and comes home well-fed.

We are so happy with our nursery (Safehands). Our little boy loves going there and looks forward to all the different activities they do. We love it when he brings home new artwork he created or new skills he has learnt.
The staff are so helpful and friendly; they really make my little boy feel at
home when he is there.
We are happy with the choice of food he gets, and he is trying lots of new foods.
The staff kept my son's routine he follows at home, which helped him transition from nursery to home smoothly!

I can't recommend Safehands enough! My son has been attending since he was 7-months-old (Jan 2019), and he has loved it from day one. The staff, in particular, are amazing and incredibly welcoming, and always provide a full update on his day when he is collected. The communication is excellent, and
we have always felt comfortable approaching them about any queries we may have. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Both of my children have attended Safehands, and both have flourished as a result. The activities planned individual care is given to each child, and the focus on treating each child as an individual is a testament to the hard work and dedication from all members of the team.

Safehands is a wonderful nursery. I have two children that have attended and cannot rate them enough. Staff are amazing and form such a great bond with every child. The setup and safety of children are second to none.
I personally think the empathy and understanding they show is outstanding. I was
having anxiety issues about leaving my youngest child and they made the process so easy for me. Giving regular updates and photos to show how he was settling in and enjoying himself. Just wonderful.

Safehands is a wonderful nursery that provides me with total peace of mind when I drop my daughter off. We’re always excited to receive updates on what imaginative activities our daughter has been taking part in and how she has been supported to develop. The manager and staff team are friendly, caring
and enthusiastic and have helped my daughter settle in well. I have no hesitation in recommending Safehands.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.242)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.242) out of 10 for Partou Safehands 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.778 for Partou Safehands Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (28 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.778

  • 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 3.464 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Safehands Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.214

  • 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.
