Highlights from the Ofsted inspection carried out at Partou Westfields Day Nursery & Pre-School on 17th June 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.”

“Leaders consistently identify children’s needs early and work effectively with staff, parents and carers and external professionals to reduce barriers to learning. Inclusive practice is embedded across the setting.”

“Staff understand children’s individual plans well and implement strategies that promote meaningful progress in communication, physical development and regulating their emotions.”

“…inclusive practice is consistent and children benefit from a setting, where their uniqueness is recognised and celebrated.”

“Children build early mathematical understanding through activities, such as counting objects in outdoor play or comparing sizes during sensory exploration in the mud kitchen.”

“Staff adapt activities so that all children can participate, including those who need additional support or equipment. Children show increasing independence and curiosity as they choose resources, experiment with materials and engage in routines that prepare them for school.”

“Staff model positive behaviour and help children to understand their emotions through conversations and stories.”

“Transitions are calm and well managed, such as children lining up after outdoor play or sitting on benches to wait for their names to put coats away.”

“Staff respond promptly when children need comfort or reassurance. They check on children’s safety and wellbeing during play. Babies benefit from warm and sensitive care. This includes gentle settling, prompt attention to their physical needs and engaging story sessions with props, such as teddies. Staff follow safer sleep guidance and hygiene routines appropriately.”

“Leaders monitor care practices and typically ensure that routines, such as toileting, sleep and transitions, are managed safely and respectfully.”

“Leaders have developed a broad curriculum that promotes children’s communication, physical development, independence and wider learning across the early years foundation stage.”

“Staff implement routines that help children to develop age-appropriate skills, such as feeding themselves, using cutlery, dressing and managing personal care.”

“Children enjoy their time at the setting. Staff welcome them into warm and nurturing rooms, where they form positive relationships with staff.”

“Staff help children to build confidence in trying new things and celebrate their efforts.”

“Children express their ideas and preferences. Staff listen and respond in ways that help them feel valued. They share information regularly so parents and carers understand how their children are progressing and can contribute to their learning.”

“…children achieve well from their starting points and are well prepared for their next stage of learning.”

Partou Westfields 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 Westfields Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Gloucestershire 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 Westfields 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 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. These charges are not mandatory or a condition of your child receiving a funded place at a Partou nursery. Should you wish to opt out of these charges, please provide six weeks’ notice in accordance with our terms and conditions.

The sessions on offer at our nurseries vary, so if you would like more information on how to access your full funding entitlement please contact us directly.

Many families are eligible for government funded childcare, see our childcare funding guide for more information.
