Partou Chiltern Avenue Day Nursery and Pre-School has been an incredible experience for our family. The staff are consistently friendly, welcoming, and deeply caring, creating a warm atmosphere where both parents and children feel instantly at ease. The facilities are excellent- clean, bright, and filled
with a wide range of engaging toys and learning materials, plus a fantastic outdoor play area. One of the standout features is their communication through an app, where I receive regular updates, photos, and notes about my child's day. This constant connection reassures me that my child is in good hands. The nursery's inclusive and all-welcoming attitude ensures that every child feels valued, which is crucial for their development. The support from the staff is exceptional; they are always ready to address any concerns with care and understanding. If you're looking for a nurturing, supportive, and enriching environment for your child, I highly recommend Partou.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for almost two years (since she was 7 months) and she loves it here. The staff truly care about the kids and are so kind, welcoming and nurturing. I feel so happy dropping her off here - even on the tough mornings, the level of care they give is brilliant.
I feel really lucky my daughter goes here. Thank you to all the team.

My daughter has been attending Daybreak Nursery Amersham for almost seven months, and we have been very happy with it. I feel that they really know and understand my daughter and they regularly review her progress and set next steps for her to work towards. The nursery is very good about providing regular
feedback to parents, and the management is helpful and responsive. All the staff seem very kind and caring, and my daughter is always very happy to go to nursery. I attended a recent Mother's Day brunch, and it was lovely to be able to spend some time with my daughter in the nursery, and the staff had gone to quite a lot of effort to set up the brunch and some activities for the Mums to do with their children.

I have found the staff have been excellent with my child. I haven’t had a problem with parking as when we viewed the nursery we knew there wasn’t much space on site and there are plenty of parking spaces near the nursery. If I've had any concerns or questions, I've spoken to staff or management, and
they have been very helpful and reassuring. My child loves going to nursery, and I’m grateful for them. I've seen my child develop a lot during her time at nursery and they also guide me into how I can help my child at home with things she learned there.

We couldn't be happier with Daybreak Nursery! The teachers go above and beyond to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and eager to learn. The facilities are clean, bright, and filled with stimulating activities tailored to each child's developmental stage. It's clear that the staff genuinely care
about the well-being and growth of every child. Our little one has blossomed since starting here, and we're so grateful for the positive impact it's had on our family.

The team take such good care of our son, and he always comes home with a smile on his face and looks forward to going back in the next day. We sent our eldest there as well. It's a really lovely group of people. Our youngest is always keen to share the latest nursery rhyme in the car, at the dinner
table, at bedtime, whilst I'm on a work call... He loves singing.

The most wonderful, dedicated and caring team who consistently and genuinely have the best interests of children at their core. Every morning we are greeted with warm smiles and curiosity about how our child is that day. While this seems like a basic thing, having the time to really talk to the staff
about this allows for any changes or 1:1/quiet time that might be helpful if it’s been an emotional morning.
Thank you to everyone at Daybreak!

The nursery staff are incredibly caring and have taught my son so much. This week he asked me where the lava was on a picture of a volcano, and then he told me that he had been learning about this at nursery. The best part is the way that the team have nurtured him and his confidence levels. He used
to be nervous around new people and situations and now he walks into a room with complete confidence. This is a testament to the team in bringing him out of his shell and culturing an environment where he feels so safe.

The nursery has cared for my child with extreme attention, providing help when the child needs attention. Being very communicative when the child has any kind of evolution or need, we at home, can address to help nourish.
All the staff is extremely helpful, respectful and friendly with children and
parents alike.
I feel extremely safe leaving my child at the nursery, knowing that they will be taken care of to high standards.
Since joining the nursery, I've seen my child develop motor skills, cognitive skills and communicative skills to unparalleled levels.

I have always been really happy with the level of care my son has received at Daybreak Amersham. The team are kind, friendly, professional and engaging. They always make a huge effort to make my son feel welcome in the morning and settle him in for the day. He comes home with lots of stories about all
the fun activities he’s done and what he has learned. I’m particularly impressed by the nursery’s work to help make the children more independent and the learning through play.
Daybreak has been a lovely setting from the baby room up to toddlers. Highly recommended.

My little boy has been attending Daybreak Nursery for six weeks and I could not be happier. All of the staff there are delightful, knowledgeable and caring, and his key worker is simply the best. I actually visited during an open day earlier in the year and meeting the key worker sold it for me. The
babies room feels cosy and homely, with lots of different play areas (without places for them to hide!), and a nice small group of children which reassures me that my child is receiving the care and attention he needs. The facilities are clean and I feel totally content leaving him there whilst I work. I can see him developing rapidly from his time there already, and the reviews with his key worker are very helpful. Big thank you to everyone at Daybreak!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Partou Chiltern Avenue Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.962 for Partou Chiltern Avenue Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.962

  • 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 Chiltern Avenue Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 24 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 24 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.
