My son started at Little Dragons in January and absolutely loves going. He gets involved in all of the fantastic activities that they offer, such as singing and signing. He eats and drinks incredibly well whilst he's there. I love hearing about what he gets up to on his day there. The staff are all
amazing, so friendly and I know my son is in good hands whilst attending nursery. The nursery is well equipped, the outside playground is brilliant, with climbing frames, slides, mud kitchen and other toys. The nursery is always clean and my son always comes home clean, dry and happy.

Our kid has attended since April 2022, and we have had a fantastic experience in the different development stages our kid has experienced. Our kid loved attending, and we feel he is in a safe and caring space that has helped to develop his creativity and mental health with activities such as yoga and
wellbeing. They have been supportive in reaching milestones such as potty training. The team has also supported us during difficult situations at home; management and staff have helped us navigate hard times and have been attentive to ensure our child is coping with disruptions at home.

My daughter loves Partou Little Dragons Day Nursery and Pre-school. She cried on day 1 drop off but has never cried on subsequent drop offs. She is happy every day when my wife or I go and pick her up, that is the most important thing to us. The nursery have given us some good advice on any issues she
has had. She hasn't had many issues at all though as of yet touch wood! I would recommend Little Dragons highly. She is developing really well thanks to the nursery and always seems to love spending time there.

The Little Dragons team have been fantastically supportive of our family. The team is very longstanding and seem happy, which creates a nice atmosphere and good relationships.
Our two children have loved their time at nursery and gained confidence and skills to start school.
During bumpy times, the
nursery managers and key workers have been absolute rocks, providing advice and support, and being very positive.

We've had two children attend from babies. Both have had the most amazing experiences, tailored to their personalities and interests - from drumming/ paint sensory play to phonics fun!
The Nursery Manager and the team work tirelessly to provide a caring safe environment where the kids can have fun,
explore and learn. Outdoor time is high on their agenda, as is singing and dancing!
They have been so accommodating with odd work patterns and always available for a chat on the phone.
We couldn't ask for better, we'll genuinely miss them when we start school!

I absolutely love this nursery! My little one looks forward to going everytime we pull up. She yells friends when we get there and runs right up to the door. She loves the food and is always happy to see the nursery teachers everyday. She gives them the biggest hugs. I'm just happy she is happy and
looks forward to going there.

Highly recommended! Little Dragons Day Nursery & Pre-school has gone above and beyond to care for our two children and to support us as a family.
The friendly and consistent staff team offer children a warm and stimulating environment. Take potty training troubles, behaviour challenges or whatever
a toddler can throw at you completely in their stride. Our children came home happy, tired and well fed. We really appreciate all the extra weeks and parent initiations, which give a great insight into life at the nursery.

We have been part of Little Dragons since 2019 and now have our second child there. We are consistently pleased with how caring and qualified all the staff are. Food is of a high standard and the facilities are clean and perfectly suited to each age group. The whole team work together so well ensuring
the best for children in their care. The range of activities is engaging and educational. Children are prepared and ready for school thanks to a fantastic pre-school team. Extra learning is offered from external providers for song and sign, wellbeing and yoga. We couldn’t be happier with the nursery and recommend it to anyone we know.

My 2 children attend Little Dragons Nursery. We’ve just come home from a gorgeous Mother's Day stay and play and afternoon tea. Little Dragons are forever doing parties and activities not only for the children but for parents to come along too! We’ve had a lovely time this afternoon with it not being
a “normal” nursery day my children have yet again had a great time!
Thank you so much to all the amazing team for all you do.

Little Dragons has by far exceeded all my nursery expectations - my two boys both absolutely love going there and I know how well they are looked after which gives me total peace of mind when they are there. They have a very low staff turnover which has been fantastic for my boys. All the staff know
all the children and are so friendly which gives the nursery a lovely homely feel. I would particularly praise the staff in the babies room who have been so kind to my son who suffers from allergies and severe eczema. They have spent lots of time soothing him and massaging cream into his sore skin a few times a day. 5 stars.

My son has been attending Little Dragons since he was 15 months old (he is now 4) and has spent time in each of the rooms. He really sees it as a home-from-home and is very comfortable in the environment and with all the staff. I have noticed that there seems to be a very low turnover in staff which
has helped him feel settled and secure in the setting as he is so familiar with all of the adults and those with him, so can tell immediately if he is not himself.
His continued development has been obvious to us and the staff are quick to point out and celebrate when he has achieved something new. I am always impressed at how dedicated the staff are, including organising and supervising special events such as Halloween and Christmas parties, and nothing is too much trouble. As he gets ready to start school in September, Little Dragons are helping to ensure that he has the practical and social skills that he will need to settle quickly during this transition, which is very reassuring.

The nursery has been so supportive and the staff are brilliant at their jobs. My son always comes home with a smile on his face and lots of stories to tell about his day. I've also seen lots of new toys and apparatus in the garden for the children which is always nice to see. My son has come a long
way since he started at Little Dragons Day Nursery.

I am pleased with my daughter’s progress under Little Dragons Day Nursery. All their staff are well-trained and know how to look after my little girl. My little girl can now independently eat and go nap on her own. My daughter especially likes the singing and painting activities they give her. I like
it that my daughter knows every staff that looks after her. She bloomed so well under their care. I highly recommend them to those working parents.

Our daughter has been with Little Dragons since she was 11 months old. She started in Babies and the staff were great at reassuring me about what she was eating, sleeping, playing with etc. This was just what I needed. Now our daughter is in Toddlers and we have seen her go from strength to strength.
We are shortly enrolling our little boy in Babies based on our good experience. What clinches it for me is the staff. They don't come and go. They are here to stay and that continuity is so important. We trust them implicitly.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.886)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.886) out of 10 for Partou Little Dragons 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.886 for Partou Little Dragons Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.886

  • 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 Dragons Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 22 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 22 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.
