My son has had a great time settling in at nursery. It gives me peace of mind that the EYparemt app is updated daily with what my son has eaten and how much he has slept. The app is also updated with activities that my son takes part in. I am very happy to send my son hear until he is ready for school

We had to move my son from his previous nursery last year due to certain circumstances and the nursery were so accommodating for not only a worried mum but also for my son who didn't understand what was going on. All staff are so friendly, welcoming and professional. My son is so happy there, I could
not fault it.

My daughter joined this nursery when she was one year and a half. She loves the place, I can see a huge growth on all levels, communication, speaking, playing, solving problems. My daughter's skills are definitely more developed by their different ways in learning through playing.
It's always easy
to reach to anyone.
Staff one by one are amazing, helpful and always happy to help. I am for sure grateful to everyone who is helping in my daughter's growing journey.

I can’t fault the staff, they are attentive informative and accommodating regardless. The manager is also very approachable and accommodating to our needs for our little girl. I know from the minute I drop her off to the second I pick her up she is: well fed, well stimulated and well looked after. The
staff are always trying new activities- no idea how they come up with these amazing ideas. Since starting the setting in January my daughter has come on leaps and bounds and her confidence has skyrocketed. We were unsure about nurseries as she is so young, but this place is the best. Couldn’t hope for any better.

My son has been attending Playtime Nursery for eight months. He absolutely loves it and runs in every day - it's his second home. All the staff are so gentle and nurturing, and they provide him with so much care, attention and positivity. We feel very lucky that we've found such a nice nursery that
suits us and my little one so well.

My three almost four years old has been going to this wonderful nursery for almost a year. Due to Covid-19, he had a delayed start date due to the lockdowns. He goes three and a half days a week and loves both the staff and his peers alike. The staff regularly update the online platform so we know both
his educational, social and food development/progress. We would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a small nursery. This nursery also encourages the children to “do things themselves” which we love. They have an abundance of imaginative and stimulating toys, as well as toys that introduce them to real everyday objects. Every time we pick my son up it is clear the staff care about him as an individual and it makes such a difference. Thank you to the manager and the wonderful team, we will be so sad to leave this summer when we start “big” school.

I have been using Playtime Nursery since 2015, currently, my daughter attends there and the nursery know both my children very well. I would highly recommend this nursery and have always felt comfortable in the care they provide. During the recent pandemic, the nursery has been fantastic and have done
all they can to remain open. Whilst they remain open always ensuring they adhere to guidelines and making the relevant changes as required. The teaching staff are fantastic and the manager always remains on hand to discuss anything no matter how small the topic. I am so grateful to the staff for all they do.

Playtime Nursery has been great for our eldest daughter. We wanted a smaller setting so that she would be able to get real tangible time with key workers and other children. She's become very close with the children there and her key worker and other Nursery staff have been great with her. The little
outdoor area with mud kitchen is a lovely element and we've seen her vocab flourish and when we potty trained they were really supportive.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.143)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.143) out of 10 for Partou The Thames Club 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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 4.861 for Partou The Thames Club Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (62 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.861

  • 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 4.282 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou The Thames Club Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.682

  • 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.
