Partou Bambino's Ofsted Report
Highlights from the Ofsted inspection carried out at Partou Bambinos Day Nursery & Pre-School on 29th May 2026:
“The safeguarding standards are met. This means that leaders and/or those responsible for governance and oversight fulfil their specific responsibilities and have established an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed. As a result, children are made safer and feel safe.”
“Staff are positive role models and, overall, children behave well and follow instructions. They enjoy playing cooperatively and generally demonstrate kindness and consideration towards their friends.”
“Children are eager and enthusiastic learners, who take pride in their achievements. They confidently recognise and share their successes with staff.”
“Staff supervise children’s play effectively and help to maintain their safety. They gather ongoing information from parents about children’s changes in their home routines, such as their sleeping patterns and feeding arrangements. These are then mirrored at the setting to enhance children’s sense of security and wellbeing.”
“Children are guided well to develop independence in their self-care. Toddlers and preschool children confidently pour their own drinks at mealtimes and manage aspects of their personal hygiene well, such as remembering to wash their hands after using the toilet.”
“Staff plan a variety of indoor and outdoor activities that reflect children’s interests and provide ample opportunities for them to be active in the fresh air.”
“Staff naturally weave opportunities to develop children’s early mathematical knowledge throughout the day. For instance, they encourage older children to practise counting during activities and routines. Older babies hear and begin to use mathematical language as they move up the climbing frame and down the slide. This helps to build a foundation in early mathematical concepts.”
“Staff identify emerging gaps in children’s development and take appropriate action to address these. Leaders responsible for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) work with staff to establish focused next steps. They demonstrate a clear understanding of local procedures and referral pathways. Leaders know when and how to access guidance from external professionals.”
“Children experience a warm, inviting and stimulating environment where they feel secure, valued and confident to grow and develop. They form positive relationships with staff, who respond thoughtfully to children’s ideas and contributions. Children engage enthusiastically in their play, demonstrating increasing self-assurance, motivation and independence. The curriculum reflects children’s evolving interests, encouraging further curiosity and positive attitudes to learning.”
“From the outset, all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, establish secure relationships with their key persons. They benefit from inclusive experiences and participate alongside their peers. ”
Upon registration, you will be asked to pay a £75 registration fee (non-refundable) or a £75 registration deposit to reserve your child’s nursery place (see terms and conditions for eligibility).

Funded childcare
Partou Bambinos Day Nursery & Pre-School is proud to offer funded childcare places
Funded childcare is a government incentive fulfilled by Local Authorities which aims to provide financial support for eligible families accessing childcare at an OFSTED registered setting. Partou Bambinos Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Buckinghamshire Local Authority to apply childcare funding for eligible families.
Funding typically covers 15 or 30 hours per week for the 38 term weeks of the year across a maximum of 10 hours a day which will be applied in different ways depending how many weeks of the year your child is in childcare:
Children who are in year-round childcare will receive “stretched” funding. This means that their 15/30 hours over 38 weeks will be stretched over 51 weeks of the year so children accessing year round childcare at Partou Bambinos will receive 11.17/22.35 hours of funded childcare per week.
Children who have term-time only childcare places will receive 15/30 hours funding per week over 38 weeks of the year.Term-time only places are limited and are subject to availability.
Government funding for childcare only applies to the care fee (as described above). Meals & snacks and consumables fees are fully chargeable for all sessions including funded.
Many families are eligible for government funded childcare, see our childcare funding guide for more information.

Our eldest daughter always enjoyed her time with the team at Bambino's and now our twins have just started and the team have been fantastic at facilitating extra settles to help improve their transition which has ensured their first week went extremely smoothly. We couldn't recommend Bambino's enough...
We have had a lovely experience so far since our son started in September 2025. The baby team have been great at helping our son to settle in. He comes out smiling at the end of each day and is all smiles when we drop him off. You can see the genuine care and affection that the team show.

During his settling-in sessions, our son was understandably apprehensive and hesitant. He would cry at the front door and dislike being handed over to the staff for the afternoon. A couple of farm animals and later dinosaurs were plenty to have him bloom into a child who could not get enough of the n...
Both my children were/are at Bambino Day Nursery. The children are well looked after at the nursery. They pursue different activities every day, allowing the children to explore different textures, senses, etc. The menu is good.
The outside space is very good and the staff try to go outside as much...
Great nursery! My daughter always comes home smiling, which fills me with confidence that she has fun and feels safe and happy with her friends and the lovely ladies who not only take good care of her but teach her life skills. I have recommend the nursery to friends and family.

Bambino is a safe, nurturing environment where all staff know my child well and work hard to ensure there are a range of activities provided for him. They play outside every day (unless the weather is awful) which he loves. We are updated at the end of each day and he has regular observations shared ...
We only joined last month and my son has improved in so many areas already. The staff are great! One lady has been amazing! My son has bonded with her which is very comforting. Thank you for all your hard work.
