The care and kindness towards my son has been second to none. Although he didn't enjoy drop off it didn't take long for him to be having a great time playing and interacting with other children. My only feedback would be regarding communication, the observations were often not uploaded until the next
day and there were few pictures/info on the daily activities. It would be good to have more info on what they had done each day. Overall an amazing place for my son to begin his developmental journey. The staff are so lovely!

Nothing is too much for the staff at Smileys, they are all friendly, caring and compassionate. My extremely shy son has really come out of his shell thanks to all of the staff and he has started to engage well and play with the other children. Returning to work was much easier than expected and I have
always felt comfortable leaving my child in their care. I’ve since had a second child and we wouldn’t consider any other nursery. I find that not only do they do their best by my child, they have been very supportive and a comfort to me when needed. They are all simply wonderful.

I could not be happier with the team at Smileys Worcester. Everyone is always so welcoming. My son is comfortable with everyone here and is always happy when we drop him off and pick him up.
He does a lot of different activities and spends a lot of time outdoors which he enjoys and is important to
us.

My son's speech has come on so well over the last few months and the ladies at Smileys have played a big part in that. They always ask what we are working on so we are all working on the same thing to help him progress. The ladies always have the time to discuss what he has been doing that day so we
feel involved in his learning and development.

My child has been at this nursery for four years and he loves it, as do I. All the ladies are so loving, they have treated him as though he was one of their own. They have taught him lots of new things, e.g. his ABC's and that a certain letter is the beginning of his name, which he can also write. Not
only have they always been kind and caring with my child, they have also helped me lots across the years. They are great with safeguarding and have a brilliant system in place.

I am an attending child's nanny and I have seen him arrive as a baby, now a school boy. The care Smileys have shown him! They have helped him grow in confidence. Any worries, they are there to help and advise. Every need of the child is met. I think I find the friendliness of all the staff amazing.
As a nanny of a mature age, I can get nervous bringing him in and picking him up, but the support of the girls is always there. I would recommend Smileys to any new parents. Thank you Smileys. Excellent.

Having two children at Smileys over the last several years has been an absolute pleasure. Seeing how happy my children have been each day, as well as finding out how much they have learned, has always made me feel confident that Smileys is the best place for children to grow and learn. Thank you for
everything you have done over the years.

My little girl has absolutely loved her time at Smileys. You are always greeted by staff with a smile and they put both yourself and little one at ease. If it wasn't for Smileys offering flexible days, shift workers like myself would not be able to work. She has gained so much confidence around other
children and has learned so many new skills, ready for 'big school'. We have loved being part of the Smileys family.

We love Smileys. Our daughter and son both came to Smileys and they have the fondest memories. The staff are so amazing and made me feel at ease when knowing they would be in the best care. The staff are so incredible with the children and are so caring. Both our children were excited on the way to
Smileys and would be sad at pick-up times. They always made days fun, exciting and full of love for the children. Smileys will remain a special place in our hearts.

Our little boy has settled in so well and loves this nursery so much! He’s developed so much in the past few months since starting at Smileys. Staff are all polite, kind, helpful and always give a full update at the end of the day. Had been dreading him going to nursery on return to work, but it’s really
the best decision we could have made. Thank you all so much!

My daughter has attended Smileys Worcester since 2020, during COVID I was really impressed with all measures to keep children, parents and staff safe. My daughter settled so well into Smileys and I truly believe this is down to the staff being so kind and engaging. She talks so fondly of Smileys and
is always excited to attend her nursery days. As well as children being at the heart of everything Smileys do, they really value me as a parent and have been so accommodating right from the start from switching days last minute etc. All staff are approachable and are happy to help in everyway. I'm so pleased I chose Smileys for my daughter. She has thrived here and created a real positive foundation of learning to set her up for school.

Since joining the nursery, we have been welcomed with such warmth! My son adores every staff member and has grown developmentally since joining. The changes in the nursery have been seamless and have not affected my son in any way. My only wish is that he started sooner!

The creche is absolutely amazing - could not have asked for a better, safe, friendlier creche to send my daughter to. The staff are extremely professional, and my daughter's skills have developed so much since attending the creche. She learns about different cultures, food and different cultural events,
which is brilliant and really develops her understanding of the world and different people/cutlers. The staff are happy, motivated and really lovely people.

I have been using Smileys for six years now with both of my children and have loved it. The staff are so friendly, and m children feel it's a home-from-home. The activities that are provided for the children are always good, fun and help to meet educational needs. Both girls have loved being at Smiley's
for their early years care, and we will all miss them when we leave. I thank them for all their help and support over the years and for helping to contribute towards my girl's growth and development.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Partou Worcester Royal Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.947 for Partou Worcester Royal Day Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.947

  • 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 Worcester Royal Day Nursery & Pre-School is based on 27 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 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 27 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.
