Fantastic nursery, always encouraging children to learn, and my daughter always comes home happy and well looked after. They've gone above and beyond for my daughter, and I can't fault them. Always had positive interactions with the lovely staff, and they are doing everything they can to help stop the
spread of Covid.

Fantastic staff at this nursery and have been incredible throughout the pandemic. My daughter has made so many fond memories of her carers and friends here; I'm sure she will miss them all. Good range of services, activities and healthy and varied diet plans every week.

My son has been attending Storytimes since he was one year old; he is now due to start school in September. He absolutely loves it here; the staff are very friendly and reassuring.
We couldn’t have asked for a better bunch to welcome our son into the nursery.

My daughter has attended storytimes nursery for 3-months now but started her settling in days 2-months previous to her start date. The staff were very good and patient at helping her to settle in, as it did take a long time, but we got there in the end.
The nursery never seems to be understaffed,
so the children are well looked after and have the best time with all the wonderful activities.
The staff are so lovely, and my daughter loves them. Each day they take time out to tell you daily events and answer any questions I have (as I do ask a lot of them).
I am very happy with my choice of the nursery, as my daughter is precious, and I trust this nursery and all the staff.
Happy staff makes a happy place, and I can see that as an outsider.
Well recommended!

Team Storytimes are a fantastic team; they are supportive of families and develop good bonds with children. Their approach to learning is fantastic, and my child has felt comfortable and confident to learn. When going through different stages of development such as attachment, toilet training and behaviour,
the team were able to work with me as a mother to help my child learn, grow and develop.

My little girl loves Storytimes. She only did a couple of months and then had a break in attending due to Covid-19. When she went back, it took her a little while to adjust to being back at nursery, but the ladies in the tinies room were so patient and kind, and she absolutely loved going. They had
a lot of time for her, and she really came on in terms of her communication and learning. She has now moved to the toddler room, and again, she loves going and is learning a lot. She has made some lovely friendships, and it is nice that her friends have moved up with her into the toddler room. Storytimes are very accommodating, and I have had no issues with having to change days, increase days and then reduce them again as I am on maternity leave, I was able to do so, no questions asked. The manager and her team are all very friendly and share lots about what the children have been doing each day with lots of fun activities for them to do. It definitely has a big impact on their learning and development.

I love Storytimes nursery for my son, I was unsure about a nursery at first as my daughter went to childminders, but Storytimes have been absolutely amazing in everything. I recommend Storytimes to anyone who's looking for a nursery.
All the staff in the toddler room are amazing.

Since my child started attending Storytimes, his confidence and self-esteem have improved. Also, his speech and language are getting better. The school gives regular feedback on his academic progress, and they have been communicating with me. The teachers have acted professionally, and they are very
friendly with my child. There are no concerns about support that is being provided for the child, and the teachers act appropriately.

What a fantastic nursery. The manager and her team are great at what they do, and my daughter loves going to Storytimes and has made some wonderful friends. I am always kept informed of my daughter's progress, and the staff are always very polite and knowledgeable about early learning.


I would highly

Storytimes have always been nothing but amazing! Both my children have attended, and my youngest is now in Pre-school, having started when she was a baby. The staff are fabulous, and you can tell they really care about each and every child. My daughter loves going and enjoys all of the different activities
they get to do. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing nursery.

My son has attended Storytimes since he was one. Every room and staff have been brilliant. Since the restrictions with Covid 19, everyone has been nervous, but I can honestly say this nursery and staff have handled the pandemic exceptionally well. My son has attended the nursery full time though out
without me having any worries. It has made a job what is hard work even harder, but you all handled it brilliantly, and never showed your worries, and put me as a mother, at complete ease. I will be absolutely gutted when he leaves for school in September, I wish he could stay here. Keep up the good work ladies; you deserve a medal.

Absolutely fantastic nursery! My daughter attends here and absolutely loves it. She is so happy here, she adores her carers and they love having her. I couldn't imagine her going anywhere else they make you feel so welcome and at ease, I know my daughter is very well looked after and thoroughly enjoys
her time with everyone there. Home-cooked meals and the learning is fantastic she has really come on since joining in July. Thank you!

The activities that they do with the kids are great, and the food they have

My boy has been attending the nursery for the past 12 months and he has loved it. The girls have been nothing but great, I love the weekly updates so I can engage with my child when at home. They are constantly trying to improve your child's education and in contact with you to ask what you would like
them to work on for each individual child. The staff have been more than supportive of home and education life, I would not hesitate to leave my child here.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Storytimes, she has evolved from being a natural observer to a very active, outspoken participant in nursery. She is now very eager to jump in once we hit the door. She has great confidence in her key workers and has built a great relationship with everyone across
the board because Storytimes makes children feel at home and very comfortable in a formal environment. The staff are always willing and ready to help and are totally involved in every child. While in the toddler class, the staff were very consistent about potty training and made it seamless. I love the personalised touch in the pre-school, with varied independent engagement structures to facilitate the transition to primary school. The manager is extremely nice and I love the creativity and innovation I find every time I come into nursery there is something new to look forward to. This confirms that they are always on top to maintain the great standard.

Such a lovely, welcoming nursery. Lovely and bright room for Pre-school with loads of stimulating activities that I can follow through with at home. My son comes home chatting about his day, a great mixture of child-led activities and structured learning getting ready for school.


Staff are fantastic

and work with parents to understand and progress each child as an individual.


Perfection.

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.
