Our boy, and we as parents, could not be happier with Partou. He gets such a warm welcome and clearly enjoys it. If we walk past it on non-nursery days he screams as he wants to go in. They keep us informed about food, nappy, and sleep times and regularly upload photos and commentary on his progress….
