Both my daughters attend Storytimes and love going to nursery. The staff are lovely and friendly, and my daughters have a good relationship with them.
My eldest daughter leaves for school this year, and I know she will miss going to nursery, especially the staff in the preschool room.
My youngest
is in the baby room, and the staff have done an excellent job of helping her to settle into the nursery.

My child has been coming to this nursery for a year and a half, and it’s absolutely fantastic.
He enjoys all the food (sometimes with reports of three helpings!), and he always enjoys going and shouts “YAY!” when we pull up in the car park. The staff are so lovely and caring. I’ve never once had any
concerns about the quality of care he receives here.
The activities are educational and varied, and the rooms are well structured (special mentions to the ladies who had managed the rooms he has been in). The activities are always different too, and I don’t recall them doing the same thing over. The gardens are great spaces, and they are fantastic in their suncream application. The staff are all fantastic and a credit to the company. They really treat the kids as individuals with different requirements, and it’s not just a one size fits all approach. Can’t wait to see how my son develops during the rest of his time here!

From the moment I walked into Storytimes, I knew this was the nursery for us. From the welcoming staff to the beautiful environments and all the fun, fabulous things the staff plan for the children. They always have exciting stuff going on, and the nursery always smells amazing when I arrive. The food
always sounds so nice, and it’s so reassuring as a full-time working mummy to know they are getting a well-balanced and nutritious diet whilst attending all week. Thank you, Storytimes, for all that you do!

Our family have had the pleasure of being a part of this wonderful nursery and preschool for four years, and this beautiful setting has provided a great start for our children. The amazing set-up in each room using natural resources and such creativity by the wonderful staff brings the environment such
warmth for the children who attend.
The children have encountered so many amazing activities along their early year's journey that has helped build on their fine and gross motor skills. This has been a memorable experience for our children, especially as they transition to the next educational stage of the curriculum. We are forever grateful for the staff who have assisted the children in being the best version of themselves.

My boy has been attending Storytimes since he was seven months old. The environment is amazing, so warm, stimulating and very inviting. The key worker system in place is fantastic, and he has such a special bond with his key worker. They use an online app where I receive his learning journey through
observations with photo and video evidence. They implement his interests from home with his learning at nursery. They take him out on many walks and give him many experiences outdoors in the community. The manager of the nursery is extremely approachable and always on hand with any queries and is always happy from start to finish of the day. I am extremely happy with his progression so far in the nursery.

Since my daughter started in January, being my first child and very nervous sending her, I have felt nothing but reassured since she started at Storytimes. The staff are amazing! Her key worker always takes the time to go out of her way to update both myself and my partner on her progress and include
activities that my daughter has a lot of interest in. The baby classroom has so much for the children to do and is full of age-appropriate toys. The app to look at your child’s progress is great, although it’s slightly delayed, so sometimes don’t always see what they have done that day as it’s not in real-time. I would fully recommend Storytime to any parent looking for childcare.

My child really enjoys attending Storytime's holiday club; he has great relationships with the staff, who are always happy and welcoming during arrival and collection times. The nursery has such a great space indoors and outdoors, offering a wide range of activities. The meals which are provided at
the cost are fantastic; there is a wide range of healthy snacks provided which my child enjoys.

Both of my nephews have gone to this nursery over the last few years. One left to start his permanent preschool, where he will stay in school, and my other nephew is still there in preschool.
The staff are absolutely great and very helpful. Both boys have loved every minute of it there. They do so
much with them and have great facilities and things for them to enjoy. Thank you, Storytime, for looking after our boys.

As our grandson leaves your nursery to start primary school, I cannot let him go without thanking each member of your staff who has cared for him over the last few years.
Along with his parents, you have given him such a great start in life in terms of development and confidence.
All of this is priceless,
and we appreciate your time with him so much.
We hope this review makes you all feel appreciated too!

I can’t rate Storytimes nursery highly enough. My daughter has attended for the past 2-years moving from the baby room, through to teenies, and is now in the toddler room. In every room, the staff have provided outstanding care with really well thought out activities and experiences.


It’s clear

the team put a lot of thought and effort into making every day an exciting learning experience for the children.


The communication from the nursery is fantastic, and it’s great to be able to see my daughters progress on the learning book app.


My daughter has built a lovely, really strong bond with the team that look after her, and I trust them implicitly with her care and development.

My daughter enjoys going to Storytimes nursery. She was nervous and worried when she first started but soon settled, and now tells me she has had a “great” morning. She has formed good relationships with the staff and talks to them confidently sharing all her news with them. Covid has prevented parents
from going into the nursery, but the staff have tried hard to compensate for this, for example recording the Christmas Nativity play so parents could still watch it.
I chose this nursery based on the bright, spacious environment and resources that were available and on personal recommendations from other parents I knew that had children attending Storytimes. The staff invite parents to share their knowledge about their children’s interests and likes to help them get to know the children and help them to plan relevant activities.
I feel happy each morning knowing my daughter is happy going into nursery.

The staff at Storytimes create a welcoming environment, which always leaves me confident and happy to leave my son there. I love receiving updates including pictures and videos of what my son is doing during his time at the nursery. He is always learning and developing during his time at nursery and
is always excited to go. The staff are always friendly and professional and always ensure they give a thorough handover at pick up time. The activities are always varied, and you can see the staff put a lot of effort into planning the activities. Thank you so much for working so hard, especially during these unprecedented times.

I viewed a lot of nurseries before Storytimes, none gave me ‘that feeling’. After five minutes of chatting with the manager, I knew it was going to be the right place for us.
The girls knew how apprehensive I was about leaving the boys, and went above and beyond to make me feel at ease. The bonds that
the boys formed with the girls in such a short space of time was heartwarming. Nothing eases mum's gilt more than seeing your children running into the arms of the people that you are trusting to care for them, knowing they are happy and feel safe is everything to me.
I’ll never be able to put into words how grateful I am for the nurturing, fun and learning opportunities that you have all provided.
What a wonderful team you are.
You have made such a positive impact on our nursery experience.
An extra big fat thank you to you all - without fail always go the extra mile, the genuine care you have for the children is so special.

I have a child at this nursery, and they are amazing. They are so good with my child, he has thrived a lot since being there. He has been there for coming on two years now, and the support and care they provide is incredible. He can be quite challenging, and they are just amazing with him. I can’t thank
them enough, and they also offer great support for the parents as well. I have an older child who also goes to after school club, and he loves the staff there and always talks about how great every member of staff is,# and the activities they do. I would highly recommend this nursery to my friends and family. I don’t worry when my child is in their care and have only had the best outcome from sending him there...fabulous staff and service...he is also vegan, and they do a wonderful menu and accommodate any dietary needs...always a smile on the staffs face, and my son loves going - I couldn’t ask for more...happy parent, happy child as they say!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.838)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.838) out of 10 for Partou Storytimes 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.838 for Partou Storytimes Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (332 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.838

  • 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 Storytimes Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 29 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 29 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.
