My child has been at the nursery since 2023 and is thriving there. Since extending the amount he attends, his communication and language skills have improved as well as his social development and empathy. He is genuinely excited to go to "school" and is full of smiles and stories once collected. The
staffing has changed a lot since he started however this does not appear to have impacted on the level of care or activities provided.

My almost 2 year old son has been here for 6months currently and loves it, my son is very sensitive and does get attached to one person very easily, the nursery has been amazing with this, taking time to settle him, he has become so much more confident and now loves going, big smiles when we get to
the door, we are slowing transitioning him to the next room up, which his key worker is amazing with dealing with at this overwhelming time.
The staff are so friendly, professional and welcoming.
I love the app, which gives you info on your child's day, with pictures sometimes which makes my day!
In Squirrels (baby room) the separate sleep area is amazing, when viewing nursery's I just loved this, so cosy.
I love all the added security here too, I feel safe leaving my child here.
There was some issues with staff shortages but we have always been kept up to date with what's going on and what us as parents would prefer with methods of keeping things running smoothly.

Our child started attending this nursery when he was 13 months and he is now on his last year before moving to reception. Overall he has been thriving during his time there, staff is caring and approachable, kids have access to a wide range of activities and a well equipped outside space.
The nursery
uses an app to update families on meals and sometimes you get pics of what they have done.
There have been some issues with staff, which meant amended opening hours, lack of continuity of care and no trips/ activities outside the setting itself. Hopefully they'll improve shortly.

My daughter started in April 2024 just as she turned one. She's my first child, so I'd say I was a "normal" level of anxious (!) She settled in so much quicker than I was expecting, and from the start it has been the bubbly, positive energy of her key worker that has filled me and my daughter with confidence.
Every day I am told what shes been up to, what she enjoyed or didn't enjoy so much, what shes eaten,any troubles, always in a conversational, natural way that makes you feel confident and relaxed.
Most days I turn up and my daughter and key worker are in the middle of a game, especially if its sunny outside and they're making the most of it. If she's unwell, the first remedy is undivided attention and cuddles, exactly what a toddler needs.
I was fearful about my daughter moving up rooms, but already a couple of settling in sessions have again made it feel natural. She will for sure miss her key worker, but I suspect they will still share a laugh over the fence in the garden!

Our daughter is 18 months and has been attending since she was 1. She had trouble settling in but the staff were really helpful. They are incredibly warm and kind, and help the little ones follow their curiosity and develop. Would recommend!
Only downside is issues with the app.

Our son has been with the Nursery since 2021 now in his final year and our daughter in her first year from 2024. The Nursery has improved massively since 2021. Our children are always happy going in which is great barometer of whether they are happy to attend. Staff are great with our children and
have forged really strong relationships. There is really nice blend of indoor and outdoor space/activities in each of the rooms. Whilst we have children in different rooms we love the fact that at times they will spend some time together which has helped our youngest become more confident and our eldest naturally take on really caring role for the younger sibling. We're really pleased with the level of care provided and would recommend the nursery to any one thinking of this setting in future.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Stockwood Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School

The staff are lovely and talk about my daughter in a way that shows they know her and have been actively involved in her day and are almost as proud as me at her achievements! The environment is great and offers a range of activities plus comfy, quiet areas to sit if they want a bit of space.

My daughter has been at the nursery for just over a year. From day one, I have been exceptionally impressed with her level of care. Whilst she was in Squirrels, the staff were adaptive and attentive to meet her needs, as she initially struggled to settle.
Since being in Rabbits, she has continued
to thrive. Her speech has come on amazingly, each time I pick her up she has a smile on her face and I don't have any anxiety about leaving her with staff members. They genuinely seem to care about her, and it's a pleasure to see her bonds with the staff members strengthen. I fully trust the adults in her room to look after her and I know she's having a fabulous day. Even though we now live twenty minutes away, I still want her to attend Stockwood Lane as she's thriving there.
There have been inconsistencies with staffing, but I can see that these situations have been out of the staff members control. The only thing I would love more of are updates/pics/moments to see how she's getting on!

We have been with partou nursery in Stockwood since June 2024. My son has settled in really well and gets on well with the other children and staff. The room has lots of toys and things to do for the children and I like that the napping room is separate. They seem to do lots of different activities
and it's nice to have the recent progression reviews on the portal.
The main issue we had last year was the room closures for the baby room. This led to us having to wait at the door until 8am so the ratio was correct before they could accept my son, or we had to go home and return at 10am. The change of hours has stopped all room closures so this was a positive change introduced while they recruit. There has been good communication and updates via email too.
My son is really thriving at partou, he's always happy to go to nursery in the morning and he loves getting outside to play. Overall we are very happy at partou.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Home Manager at Partou Stockwood Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School

Hello, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us this feedback. We thank you for the understand of the delayed drop off for room closures. It is always our priority that we follow strict guidelines with ratios and make sure children are always safe in our care.


Thank yo again and have a great day!

My son loves his time at this nursery! The staff have been amazing and understand that its a huge adaptation for any child yet they are patient and willing to learn any extra support your child needs to ensure they have a smooth transition. My son has blossomed since being here twice a week and is always
excited to go to nursery and see everyone. I Couldnt wish for a better environment for my child to spend time in. If i had to comment on something that could be improved on (as small as it is) its the storage room for the prams.. its far too cramped and sometimes my mum/nan find it hard lugging my sons pram off of the chairs stacked in there! The nursery has come a long way in the past 12 months and i wouldnt put my son here if i thought he wasnt getting the right support. Thank you to the amazing team!

Beautiful nursery with conscientious staff that have cared for my child from the age of 5 months to 4 years. Special educational needs were identified, met and funded and we were fully supported as a family throughout.
Staff have gone above and beyond to accommodate my son, his needs and special interests
as well as the transition to school. My son has made some special bonds at Stockwood Lane and we will miss this magical little setting when he leaves for school.

Our child has been attending Curious Hedgehogs for over 2 years and has recently moved up to Foxes (pre-school).
The staff are very caring and know her well. The nursery environment is really well set up and encourages the children to explore and be curious.
Communication between nursery and home
has really improved recently with the use of a new app which gives us regular updates on how our child is doing.
We have always appreciated the longer hours offered by the nursery which fits well with our work schedule. We have also been able to book our child in for extra sessions when needed which is really helpful.
We would, and have, recommended Curious Hedgehogs to other parents looking for childcare in the south Bristol area.

My child has been going to the nursery for nearly two years and has thrived there. The nursery staff are wonderful and clearly know my child well, they always take an interest in her and also me and seem genuinely interested in what we have been up to and they know her inside and outside and support
me with her behaviour and her development. She eats better at nursery and enjoys being with her friends. I really feel like they are family to my daughter and we would be lost without them.

We had such a positive experience at this nursery, it was our little boy's first time at a nursery and the nursery manager and staff in the squirrels room made him so welcome and settled. He was so happy and had so much fun, his development has come on leaps and bounds since. Thanks to everyone that
kept him safe during Covid-19. I would highly recommend this nursery to others! Communication was amazing always responded to promptly. Sad we had to leave Curious Hedgehogs Private Day Nursery, Stockwood but unfortunately we moved house to another part of Bristol!

Our two year old has been attending Curious Hedgehogs Private Day Nursery, Stockwood for nearly a year and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery. His development and speech has come on leaps and bounds since joining. He is happy to go in every morning and comes out smiling every evening.
The wonderful nursery staff have taught him so much whilst also building a strong bond with him. We love hearing about the activities they organise each day and reading the thoughtful updates on the app. Everyone at nursery is friendly, helpful and reassuring. I know our little boy is receiving the best care everyday and he sees nursery as a home away from home.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.467)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.467) out of 10 for Partou Stockwood Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.581 for Partou Stockwood Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.581

  • 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 4.886 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Stockwood Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 14 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.8 = 0.886

  • 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.
