The Partou experience
At Partou, the children lead the way. They explore their surroundings and learn about the world they live in, by choosing for themselves which activity they want to join in with next.
Our team are there to care for them and keep them safe. To nurture their emerging abilities and encourage them to seize each fun-packed day. But not to tell them what to do next.
Why? Because when children are allowed to choose their own activities, rather than being told what to do, they naturally choose the activities they’re most interested in. And scientific research has shown that being interested in what they’re doing is the easiest and best way for children to learn.
Food & nutrition
Creating healthy eating habits for young children stretches far beyond their time with us. It encourages a lifelong positive relationship with food whilst building healthy bodies and healthy minds. Here’s how we encourage healthy eating habits:
- Rotating menus: Evidence shows regular exposure to foods helps children to develop their taste for them, yet we still want to offer variety. So, we rotate our menus on a three-to-four-week basis, offering the perfect balance between exposing children to new foods yet allowing them to become familiar with flavours.
- A lunchtime focus: We prioritise lunch as a time where children can enjoy their food. There is a social aspect to all lunches and, where possible, children are encouraged to take an active interest in the food they eat.
- Fresh food everyday: We serve children fresh food every day and accommodate many different dietary requirements. We have procedures in place to protect children with food allergies and offer different meal options too. If your child has a dietary requirement, simply let us know as part of our registration process and we’ll make sure we meet the needs of your child.

My son has been at Habergham since September and has come on leaps and bounds since starting there. The staff are fabulous and treat us like family, they are all such lovely people and even the people who don't directly look after him know him and welcome him into nursery each day. We have developed ...

Overall, I am happy with the nursery but what I will say is my child is only 4 and doesn't understand certain things if he's being naughty etc. some staff do lack patience any when looking after kids of this age you need patience.

Such a welcoming Nursery. The staff are fantastic and attentive. My child enjoys going here and always tries to tell me about her day. She loves singing the songs that she has sang at nursery during the day, she especially loves playing "What's in the Box" Highly recommend the nursery.

My son attended this nursery from April 2023 until this summer. I honestly can't fault the nursery, they formed a brilliant bond with my son and helped him with his confidence so much.

My daughter has been attending Little People of Habergham for just over a month now. I will start by saying that I couldn’t be happier, the staff are so kind, caring and very professional. The enrolment of my daughter was made so much easier in the application stage, this was due to a few individ...

My daughter loves Little People of Habergham. She is absolutely thriving. She suffers with separation anxiety and the staff handle this so well. They comfort and distract her. She loves the staff but has especially bonded with her key person. If I need advice about anything related to child developme...

My son has been attending this nursery since August 2021. During a very difficult time of lockdowns and pandemics. We were still made to feel welcome and at ease even with all the restrictions. Fast forward to now, our little boy has grown into a happy, sociable, funny, confident little lad with what...

My daughter has been going to Little People of Habergham Nursery for 18 months now. I saw several places before this as I was a very anxious 1st-time parent and I wanted somewhere my child could build great relationships with her carers and with the other children. I knew straight away that this was ...

My son has come on leaps and bounds at the nursery, the staff are very good with him and I feel they get to know him on a personal level always having time to discuss anything that is going on and supporting in family life. Food is always made fresh in the kitchen and activities are always set out in...

My little girl started here when she was 9 months old. I was very nervous to leave her but she settled in very quick. With that, I can only assume it's down to the staff members being very comforting towards her. She is now 16 months old and gets very excited when we arrive. She has such a good bond ...

Lisa and the team try to make it a home-from-home, and the fact it's not a huge nursery means this can be achieved. They don't do daily updates via an app with photos. I would have liked this but I do appreciate and respect the rationale why they don't - that it takes time from the children. However,...

It has been lovely to see my daughter grow and develop with the help of the staff members at Little People of Habergham. She joined the nursery when she was 11 months old, and I could not imagine sending her anywhere else. All of the staff are welcoming and approachable. I feel as though my daughter'...
