The safe, caring and stimulating environment at Partou Nursery Lane makes it a highly popular day nursery and pre-school choice for families in Alwoodley, as well as the surrounding areas of Moor Town and Moor Allerton.
Enter through our doors and you’ll find exciting resources, rooms and a team of childcare professionals who are dedicated to delivering the very best quality childcare. We are also lucky to have large on-site parking which makes pick-up and drop-off safe and convenient for families.
Our long-standing nursery team is highly qualified and provides excellent childcare, with some of our team members working here at Partou Nursery Lane for many years. A solid and stable team builds familiarity for children and helps them to build confidence through consistency. Our nursery team learns about children’s personalities, interests and experiences and uses these to curate personalised learning activities which are engaging, fun and in line with the Partou early years’ curriculum.
Our nursery is a celebration of diversity! Our nursery team and children have varied and wonderful cultural backgrounds, and we love sharing these with each other through songs, storytelling, and play. We create an environment where every child sees themselves reflected and learns to appreciate the many identities, families, and experiences that make up our community. Our nursery team are also bilingual which provides support and familiarity for children who have English as an additional language to build confidence and language skills.
We have two baby rooms; one for non-mobile babies and one for more mobile, older babies. This allows us to provide a calm and nurturing space for our youngest babies, while giving more mobile little ones the freedom to explore safely and develop their growing independence.
Children enjoy exploring and learning in our gardens; we have one for babies and a separate one for toddlers and preschoolers, so all children are able to play safely. Children in our pre-school room also have free-flow access to a side garden. Outdoor play is an important part of the early years’ curriculum and supports children to build physical and personal skills as well as a love for nature and mood boosting benefits.
If you are looking for childcare in Alwoodley which supports all children to thrive whilst feeling valued, respected and understood, we’d love you to take a look around Partou Nursery Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School!

Partou Nursery Lane Ofsted report
“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 and staff ensure that the nursery environment is well planned to promote collaborative play and spark children’s interests.”
“Leaders place extra staff in rooms when there are new children attending. This supports staff to dedicate time to supporting these children to settle into nursery life. As a result, children quickly develop secure bonds with staff and feel content in their care.”
“Children receive lots of cuddles and spend time with their key persons which, in turn, supports their emotional security. They take part in group activities and play well together.”
“Safer sleep and mealtime policies are understood and implemented well by staff.”
“Staff are respectful towards children. For instance, they ask for their permission to carry out care routines, such as putting on a bib.”
“Children have daily access to the wonderfully spacious and well-resourced outdoor space. Consequently, they receive regular opportunities to be physically active.”
“Staff continue to review and adapt the curriculum to ensure that it meets the needs of all children. This supports children to build on their prior learning and continue to progress in their development.”
“Children who speak English as an additional language are happy and settled in the nursery. Staff build relationships with their families and find out some key words in the children’s home languages.”
“Leaders promote an open-door policy to support staff to feel able to raise issues or concerns. As a result, staff report positive levels of wellbeing.”
“Parents and carers say that they feel warmly welcomed into the nursery. They highly value the love and care that leaders and staff show towards them, as well as their children. Parents feel well informed about their children’s learning and experiences in the nursery. They comment positively on the high levels of communication from staff.”

We moved my son from another nursery when he was 2.5 years old. He settled in straight away and made lovely bonds with the staff and other children. The nursery has a real family feel and we are happy we moved him. His development is great and he enjoys all activities.
