My son has been attending Partou St Mary's since January 2023 and has come a very long way especially with his speech since going there.
He seems to have a great relationship with his peers and the teachers alike.
St Mary's is a great nursery and I would recommend.

Very good staff especially the original ladies who knew my son since he started at 10 months old.
Credit especially to three members of staff in particular who look after him. He has grown and developed so much. Nursery has an amazing and varied menu which my son enjoys.
Had an issue in the past that
could have been handled much better and caused less stress but in the past now.

My child has attended this nursery since being 9 months old. Since then he has come on amazingly. The staff across the whole nursery have provided fantastic care and he thoroughly enjoys going to nursery. He has made some great bonds with the staff and I have seen some positive changes made by the new
manager recently. The activities we have seen on the app over the last few weeks look brilliant, he always looks like he is having lots of fun! It's a reassuring feeling knowing that your child is so well looked after and that he is happy being there whilst we are at work.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.771)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.771) out of 10 for Partou St Mary's 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 29 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 4.798 for Partou St Mary's Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (283 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.798

  • 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 4.973 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou St Mary's 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 149 number of registered child places is 29.8. 29 Positive Reviews ÷ 29.8 = 0.973

  • 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2024

Hi, my name is Elaine, and I am the manager of St Marys Day Nursery.


I began my childcare career upon leaving school and can honestly say that I love it as much today as when I first started.


Starting as a private nanny before managing my own childcare business, I have worked in various roles across the sector before entering the world of day nurseries.


Since doing so, I have been a practitioner, room leader and deputy as I worked my way to achieving my dream job as a nursery manager.


I am a mum of 2 wonderful children, and I understand the importance of supporting children within our setting to become confident, independent individuals ensuring that they face the future with the knowledge and courage to achieve and grow in a world where they can become anything.
