Partou Storytimes win national Best Indoor Learning Environment award

December 6th, 2024

We are proud to announce that Partou Storytimes recently claimed the 'Indoor Learning Environment of the Year' award at the 2024 National NMT Nursery Awards.

Team members from Partou Storytimes Day Nursery & Pre-school in Atherton, Manchester, posing with the Best Indoor Learning Environment award at the National NMT Nursery Awards. Standing in front of a vibrant awards stage backdrop featuring bold white lettering and colourful red, blue and purple light displays, the group celebrate recognition for outstanding nursery design, innovative learning spaces, early years education and exceptional childcare provision.

Atherton based nursery, Partou Storytimes, was recently honoured with the title of Indoor Learning Environment of the Year at the prestigious National NMT Nursery Awards.

Inspired by their name, the fun storybook theme that runs throughout the nursery captured the imagination of judges who expressed delight at the environment’s ability to ‘excite children whilst actively involving them in their learning’.

Laura Farnworth, Nursery Manager at Storytimes, received the award during a special evening ceremony hosted at the ExCeL London where she revealed why the nursery’s unique design is fundamental to the experience it provides:

Congratulations to Laura and her team on a tremendous achievement from everyone at Partou! It’s great to see how the nursery’s environment, which in many ways embodies the three core pillars of Partou’s experience, ensures that children thrive.
