My baby turned one this week. The staff made a cake to celebrate as well as a crown. Thye shared the pictures with me over email. The staff are always so thoughtful. Not once has he cried when going to the nursery. They always welcome him with a smile and lots of cuddles which make him feel so loved.
Merchant Square is excellent caring day care.

My 2-year-old son goes full-time to the nursery. He really enjoys meeting other children and loves his day care staff who are wonderful. Although English is not his first language, he learnt English words within 4 months and is perfectly integrated into the 2-3 years room.He regularly brings home drawings,
paintings or cards (New Year, Valentine's Day ...)that he made during the day and that is lovely to keep these 'homemade' drawings. Also, I have the feeling that his rhythm has been respected (nap) and that he is able to nap up to 2 hours at the nursery. The only thing I could say is that the price is high, but I believe this is a general and common case for London nurseries, unfortunately.

The nursery offers excellent facilities for children to thrive and develop. It is a clean and friendly environment. Staff work collaboratively with parents and I feel that my child is benefitting from her nursery experience. I am happy and confident when going to work that my child is in a loving environment.

We are extremely happy with Merchant Square Nursery. They take great care of our 11-month-old son and have been looking after him since he was 5 months. The ladies are very sweet and loving. Our baby goes there with a smile and is always so joyful when being dropped off in the morning. The activities
are great, there are lots of toys and things to do.

My daughter has been with Merchant Square Day Nursery since she was six months old. She is now nearly a year old and we cannot be happier with our choice. The staff are caring and the environment dynamic. Over the course of her care, she has become more social and eats very well. We wouldn't hesitate
in recommending the nursery to anyone.

After looking at many nurseries I came across Merchant Sq and couldn't be more pleased. The staff were amazing at settling my 2 year old and after only 3 days she was waving me off with no tears (from either of us). The stories she tells on the journey home just confirm what a great day she has had.
Fantastic nursery with brilliant staff.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.416)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.416) out of 10 for Partou Merchant Square 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.766 for Partou Merchant Square Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.766

  • 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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Merchant Square Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.75

  • 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

I hold a level 4 qualification in Childcare and Education, and I have had the privilege of working with children of all ages during my childcare experience since 2005. I am very proud to be able to work with children in their Early Years; being an educator at the most crucial stage in children’s lives. I believe that the first five years of a child’s life are the foundations that support happiness, health, social skills, and emotional intelligence. I am lucky enough to be in a position where I can inspire, support and provide training to driven and dedicated team members who share our vision.
