Both of our children have been through Leaps & Bounds, and through that time there have been a lot of changes. The nursery is currently at its strongest, with good management, fantastic practitioners and a great format and set up for the children.
I can't speak for all the rooms anymore, though I
know the practitioners in the other rooms and know they are great, but the pre-school room is the most organised it has ever been. We're very happy with the support and activities our young one has access to in that room.
I have recommend Leaps & Bounds to friends, and still do to this day.
Well done team!

I have had two nieces attend this setting in the last 3 years and they both have had great experiences. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and have taken amazing care of both girls. The baby room is great and take great care when settling children into the environment. They are helpful and go
above and beyond for each individual child and their families. I feel delighted to have had such a positive experience!

My children have attended Leaps and Bounds since 2018 with my youngest now in the pre school room. The nursery is excellent and is going from strength to strength. The staff are fantastic, giving so much attention, love and support to the children. It is lovely to have seen my children grow and develop
through their early years.
The management of the nursery is no doubt challenging but the managers are excellent. They are responsive, welcoming and willing to support as much as they can.
It really is a lovely nursery.

Leaps and Bounds has nurtured and cared for all three of our boys since 2020 and we are so grateful for their care, genuine kindness and flexibility. Preschool was such a fun time for the older boys, and the little one going through babies is delighted to arrive on his days there. The little trips they
organise, the outdoor games, the imaginative use of the tuff trays and play set ups, and the cleanliness is really second to none. The atmosphere is healthy, happy and really kind between the children and any issues are dealt with calmly and respectfully. The care workers know him so well, are so delighted by all his progress and see to his needs in a respectful and intelligent way. We are so grateful for all Leaps has done for our boys.

My son has been at Leaps & Bounds for 7 months and we all love it there. The staff are so caring and friendly. We wanted to change our days just before he started and the manager was able to accommodate at short notice. Our son has settled in so well and we couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

Good nursery with great staff. Only downside is small outside space but everything else is great. My daughter is loving her time there and was made to feel very welcome when she joined from another nursery. Always seems to be lots of activities going on.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery & Pre-school

'Thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter is loving her time at our nursery and is being well taken care of by our amazing staff.

Running a nursery has to be one of the toughest gigs out there - it's very hard to find and retain great staff, there are constant challenges in and around sickness and absence management and ultimately a lot of pressure on delivering a high standard of care to children at critical stages of their personal
development.
Sometimes parents (us included) give them a hard time, but it should be said that the staff do an exceptional job with the resources they have available and we have been exceptionally lucky to send our 2 daughters to such a great establishment. All the room leaders, key workers and other staff come together to provide a supportive and cohesive environment in which our 2 daughters feel safe and empowered to explore, learn and grow.
Thanks especially to all the staff who help to create such a wonderful environment and keep up the good work!

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for recognizing the hard work and dedication of our staff at the nursery. It is truly a challenging role, but we are grateful to have a fantastic team who strive to provide the best care to children. We appreciate your support and are honored to have your 2 daughters in our care. We will continue to create a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for all the children at our establishment. Thank you!

We feel so lucky to have a place at Leaps and Bounds in the preschool room after moving from another nursery in January 2025 due to a change in opening hours at our old preschool. We were a little nervous about moving our son but the team settled him in seamlessly and made us all feel very welcome.
Our son is thriving after only being there for one term, we see lots of updates on the app and he has made so much progress in such a little time. His key workers plan activities to fit the time of year, the children's interests, key learning aims and after identifying areas that those in their group could develop. For example when our son started staff noticed he wasn't using the other children's names so they played a game where he could learn and use the other children's names. He excitedly tells us all about his day and the friends he has made.

The baby room staff have been outstanding at helping our baby settle. Even though he's only there one day a week he's formed strong bonds with the staff, and we can tell they are caring, inventive, and very competent at helping the children develop in all areas. They have taken the time to give us detailed
updates on the app while he's been settling in, putting our minds at ease and giving us an insight into his world there, and we're really grateful. Thank you, team!

We feel really lucky that our daughter has a place here - the staff are so friendly, they all seem to know every child's name (even in different classes!) and we always feel like they genuinely care about each and every child in their care.
Our daughter has been attending since she was just 2 and is
now in preschool; she loves it and often doesn't want to leave at the end of the day.
The communication with the office is also great so we feel heard if we ever have any questions.
Really fab nursery!

The kiddo is coming up to almost a year at Leaps and Bounds at this point, and she's thriving. The staff are amazing with her - She struggles a bit with separation at drop-off, and they very kindly collect her at the front door to minimise her upset.
When we come to collect her in the late afternoon
we walk in to see her engrossed in whatever she's doing, and the nursery offers a wide range of activities. The staff genuinely care and happily celebrate of the kiddo's achievements with us at the end of the day.
Communication is good from the team - for admin-related updates, they're good at sending emails. The nursery uses an app that allows them to share updates throughout the day, note milestones, and share photos of the kiddo.

My daughter hadn't been with many other adults prior to starting her at nursery as our families are out of Bristol, so I was worried about settling in but she has made amazing connections with the adults as she progresses through each room, she has been there for 1.5 years now. She doesn't look back
when I drop her off.
The staff are friendly, open, and kind and always have something personal to say about her at pick up on top of the feedback through the daily app updates. They encourage independence when getting to the toddler stage and have different themes and activities planned each week/term in the various rooms. For example, they had a hairdressing station last week which she was delighted with. There is a great range of food, cooked off-site.
Most of all they are open and transparent, any accidents or other issues I get a call when at work to update me. When something new is suggested for my daughter they ask my opinion and are happy to be led by that which means a lot to me.

My daughter has attended since she was a year old and we have been so impressed with the care she has been given. Every key worker and member of staff who works at the nursery is so kind to our daughter and we have no reservations about leaving our daughter for the day. Amazing resources for the children,
excellent communication with parents, and lovely friends for our daughter to play with. Highly recommend.

We have been really impressed with the nursery. Our boy has settled in so well and absolutely loves it. The staff are so friendly and always give us an update on his day on pick up. They do lots of activities and spend plenty of time outside in the garden. We feel confident leaving our boy at the nursery
knowing he will be well looked after and enjoy his day.

I'm so grateful to the Leaps and Bounds team for taking care of my girls for the last five years. Times are hard for childcare providers, but the manager and his team always do their best. The staff are full of energy and enthusiasm, and my children always looked forward to going. I know they were safe
and well cared for, and they always seemed to eat well! The recent expansion of the pre-school room has really given the children more space (and I love the art set-up). Thank you and well done Leaps and Bounds.

My child is thoroughly enjoying their time at Partou Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery and Pre-school. The staff are so caring and compassionate. They have looked after my child from the baby room through to preschool, so have been a big part of our lives over the past few years. I'm sure I've been an annoying
client, very needy at times, but they have never shown any frustration and are always willing to help where they can. It's lovely to be able to have a chat with some friendly faces at the end of the day when I collect.
To provide a balanced review, the only negative I can think of is that the billing can be confusing at times and it's frustrating having to pay for consumables on bank holidays when the nursery is closed and clearly nothing is being consumed. However I expect that's the same at most nurseries.
Thank you to the whole team for supporting our family.

Partou Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery and Pre-school is a fantastic nursery. The staff go above and beyond to make sure every child has the best start at early education and it is clear how much fun they all have every day. My son was always so excited to go to nursery and he had a wonderful connection
with both his key workers during his time there. As a parent, I felt secure and happy that my son was being well looked after and that he felt safe and happy. If there were ever any issues or concerns they were addressed head on and it always felt collaborative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Leaps and Bounds and we are really sad to be moving on.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for Partou Leaps and Bounds 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.809 for Partou Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (406 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 488 Ratings = 4.809

  • 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 Leaps and Bounds Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 41 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 41 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.
