Partou wins seven Top 20 Nursery Awards

May 5th, 2026

Partou has been recognised with seven Top 20 Nursery Awards from daynurseries.co.uk, including six settings ranked among the best in their regions, reflecting strong family feedback and high-quality care.

A group of nursery staff stand outside a stone building beside a red Partou Ladybirds Day Nursery & Pre-School sign, with one person holding an award plaque, marking a recognition achievement.

We are delighted to announce we have received seven awards from prominent nursery review website daynurseries.co.uk.

The Top 20 Nursery Awards are based on reviews from families with settings rated on a range of crucial elements including care, food, facilities, staff, safeguarding, management and value for money.

As well as being recognised as one the Top 20 Large Nursery Groups in the UK, six Partou settings have been named in the list of outstanding nurseries in their region.

For the second year running, Partou Ladybirds in Leeds has made the top 20 in Yorkshire and Humber.

In the West Midlands, Partou Alexandra in Redditch and Partou Langley Gorse in Sutton Coldfield have been recognised.

Partou Footprints in Atherton and Partou Little Darlings in Stockport are honoured in the North West.

And Partou Quedgeley in Gloucester has taken its place in the top 20 best nurseries in the South West.

Part of the biggest childcare group in the Netherlands, we operate more than 100 settings in the UK that collectively care for around 9,000 children and employ more than 2,000 dedicated professionals, including over 240 apprentices.

Samantha Rhodes, our Managing Director, said:

“Having numerous Partou nurseries recognised as sector leaders in their respective regions is a significant accomplishment.

“The Top 20 Awards matter because they are based solely on the openly expressed opinions and experiences of families, underlining the trust they have our team members and the professional job they do.

“I want to pass on my congratulations to the six winning nurseries and thank families across all our settings for their ongoing support.”
