Joining us as an apprentice means more than just training — it means becoming part of a team where children lead the way, and where your growth matters just as much as theirs.
Every Partou nursery has its own setting, in its own location, within its own community. But visit any one of them, anywhere in the UK, and you will find the same set of shared values.
Through Partou & You, every team member, regardless of role or contract, has access to learning, support, and career development opportunities.
At Partou, we believe in:
Care
Creating a warm, safe, and inspiring environment for children.
Compassion
Understanding that flexibility matters and offering different ways to work
Continuous learning
Providing opportunities for every team member to develop, grow, and progress.
