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.
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:
“On behalf of all the hardworking team members and the families who make the nursery what it is, it feels fantastic to receive this esteemed award.
“Our indoor environment has been carefully designed to empower children to drive their own learning by promoting independence and curiosity. As such, it not only excites children but also encourages their continuous development.”
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.
