Partou Magic Tree Day Nursery & Pre-school Yate is a high-quality nursery and pre-school, Ofsted 'Good' in October 2023, nestled within the grounds of St Paul's School. The nursery is set over two floors, with three large playrooms and a safe enclosed rear garden.

Children at the nursery enjoy bright, carefully planned playrooms that allow them to learn in a nurturing environment. On the first floor, babies enjoy their own cosy unit with quiet soft areas, stimulating toys and a large sleep room. On the ground floor, the nursery's fun toddler rooms lead out directly on to the setting's exciting garden area. These rooms are separate to the nursery's large and well-resourced pre-school room, which is led by a qualified school teacher.

The Magic Tree team are highly qualified and experienced, providing children with exciting learning activities covering the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The friendly practitioners have safeguarding training, paediatric first aid certificates and childcare qualifications.

Healthy meals and snacks are served from the nursery’s delicious menu, providing children with a wonderful nutritionally balanced diet.

All staff have undergone enhanced DBS checks and the nursery's CCTV and secure door entry systems offers added security.

We registered our son at Magic Tree following their 'outstanding' rating with Ofsted (which has sadly been rescinded). I've been told staff and management had changed around significantly prior to us starting and has continued to. However, all the staff we've encountered are very pleasant and clearly
care about the children. There is new management which I'm hoping supports staff with their development and qualifications, so there's definite positive change on the horizon. We have had room closures in the past, but thankfully have dodged the recent bout of them.
Our main concern is with communication. At our other nursery they used an app which is really swish and easy with very quick responses, but the app Magic Tree use is so clunky and we've had very few updates since we started, and the main form of comms is email which can take a while. Investment in a new app would go a long way. We would also love regular development meetings but have only had one parents' evening in the last year.

I always feel listened to and that the staff are willing to do whatever they can to support the children. Nothing is too much trouble and they really take the time to get to know each child as an individual.

I always feel my daughter is safe, and for me that is the priority at that age.
Her dairy allergy is very well managed and the catering and meal options are nutritious and well-balanced.
We are always welcomed with a smile and welcomed in. We have a good handover and drop-off.
There are always
new and exciting activities for the children to explore and options given to develop independence.
It is true there have been staff shortages, which at times can be a challenge. However, I have always felt the nursery has communicated this well and within good time. I also feel the room closures have been fair and rotated so that it is not the same children all of the time.
Thank you for all you have done in these difficult times.

I recommend Magic Tree. The staff are friendly and my son looks forward to going to Preschool each week. He tries a variety of food there and there are lots of different activities and toys to keep them entertained. I’m happy I chose this nursery as my son seems to love it!

Would think twice again before signing my son to this Nursery.
My son started to attend there from June and they’ve managed to close his room and cancel his session 5 times and I already know he is losing another afternoon next week. The first two sessions were his settling days, then when speaking
with now ex-manager she has told me that was not her problem that they are short of staff. Clearly was more my problem as I had to postpone my work for another week without any notice. Then others are his normal days when I am supposed to be working. They seem to only close the afternoons which it’s not really fair as I believe if they move the staff around this would be fair for everyone to lose some sessions. Now I’ve just received the invoice where they only deducted two sessions instead of three. I had a few more issues but there is not enough room to write them down about. Nice staff but very poor management, impossible to go back to work stress-free.
I wish I knew that before.

Reply from Cat, Operations Manager at Partou Magic Tree Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review and giving us your feedback.
We can only apologise for the recent period where we were forced to make some short term room closures due to staffing levels. We are only too aware of the upheaval this causes for families and I can assure you this was only ever done as a last resort after all other avenues were exhausted. In order to ensure both children and staff remain safe we are required by law to maintain Ofsted’s statutory child/staff ratio requirements and as a result we are left with little flexibility when circumstances like this arise.
Like many in the childcare industry we have recently faced staffing challenges with the ongoing shortage of trained nursery practitioners across the UK. We have had to adapt rapidly to an increasingly competitive recruitment market and I am glad to say we have recently seen our increased focus in this area bearing fruit with a number of new staff members joining our fabulous existing nursery team.

I always enjoy picking my grandson up from nursery as he’s always so happy after his session. His key worker always gives me a full rundown on his day. In the car on the way home, he never stops chatting about what he and his friends did during the day and his favourite story too.

My son attends Magic Tree nursery twice per week. He is always happy and has progressed developmentally since joining particularly with his speech and language. The staff are kind and care for the children to an outstanding level. As a full time working parent it is reassuring to be able to send my
child to a setting where I know he is safe and secure. They set up a range of activities for the children to engage with and have access to learning outside. Myself and my
Husband and I thank the staff at Magic Tree from the bottom of our hearts for all they do for our son.

Both of my children have attended this lovely nursery and I have complete faith in the staff there. My children have always been happy and formed good bonds with their key worker. There are lots of age-appropriate activities for the children to enjoy with a heavy focus on play-based learning. Highly

My son has been attending Magic Tree for just over a year and he has settled so well. The ladies in the baby room look after him so well and are happy to help in any situation. I can't fault any of them. My son is happy to come to the nursery and always talks about staff or children at home. I have
recommended Magic Tree to many of my friends and always will do.

I cannot thank Magic Tree enough for stimulating and teaching my daughter new things every day - I’m amazed. They’ve also been amazing accommodating her during my illness. She is so happy at nursery and gets excited to go every morning she goes.

This is a great nursery that my daughter attended from the age of 1. Staff are brilliant and attentive, my little girl absolutely loves going there, she settled very quickly and now run inside without looking back, she knows all the room stuff by their names. There are always fun activities to do and
lots of things to bring home to show us. Their communication is great and they have been very accommodating in the past. I would recommend this nursery if you are looking for caring and supportive people to look after your little ones, knowing they are always in good hands.

We moved our daughter to Magic Tree in August 2020 due to working from home as a result of COVID-19. Everyone I spoke with before she joined, was friendly and informative. Fast forward 3 months and my daughter loves going to nursery. She can’t wait to go in and as soon as the door opens she’s gone!
I love seeing pictures and reading updates on Learning Book about what she’s been doing during the day. I find this particularly important due to not being able to go into nursery due to COVID. Our daughter is so happy when she comes home, and the staff are more than happy to talk with me about any worries or concerns I have.

The nursery is great! My son can still be a little unsure about leaving me but the staff are so understanding and patient with him. He has a lovely time when there and talks excitedly about it when he comes home. His observations are uploaded regularly and clearly linked to the EY curriculum - it's
also lovely to see what he gets up to there!

Really good experience with Magic Tree Nursery Yate. My son started to attend the nursery in September and I am really happy with his evolution since. He learnt a lot of things, started to make friends and always mentions nice things and activities they did in the day. At the time of picking up, I always
get a verbal report from his key worker regarding the activities/nap/ food for the day. Really pleased overall.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.531)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.531) out of 10 for Partou Magic Tree Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 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 21 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 4.531 for Partou Magic Tree Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.531

  • 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 Magic Tree Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 21 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 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
