Partou Children’s House sits in a restored Edwardian mansion set within 2.5 acres of grounds in the village of Binfield, close to Bracknell and Wokingham. The building and grounds are the perfect environment for a great early years experience: space to move, freedom to explore, and built around genuinely supporting children to grow and thrive.
The outdoor space has to be seen to be believed. Spanning 2.5 acres, children can move freely between age-appropriate areas, including dedicated baby decking that connects directly to the babies’ rooms, so the youngest children can explore outside as naturally as they move indoors. A sensory maze winds through the grounds for children to discover safely and at their own pace, building curiosity, confidence and a real love of being outside. Ofsted recognised that children benefit from plenty of fresh air and exercise here, and that comes through in how the outdoor environment has been designed: not as an add-on, but as a core part of how children learn.
Inside, a dedicated sensory room gives children a calm, purposeful space to explore and learn, supporting regulation, concentration, and sensory development. This is particularly meaningful for children with SEND, which is an area of early years education we are incredibly passionate about. Our SEND officer, Sarah, has been part of the nursery team for nearly eight years, and her depth of knowledge shapes how the whole team thinks about inclusion. We have team members who are trained in British Sign Language, so children who need alternative ways to communicate are genuinely supported to thrive.
The quality and warmth nursery team is one of the things families mention most in reviews. Our manager, Kelli, has been with Children’s House for an incredible 15 years. Kelli progressed from lunch cover to room leader across every age group before stepping into her current role. Several other team members have been here for more than a decade, many completing their apprenticeships here and now leading rooms and running the after-school club. That continuity and consistency matters: children build deep, trusting relationships with the people who care for them, and families feel the difference in how well the team knows their child.
Community sits at the heart of life at Partou Children’s House. Over the past year, families have been invited to share their professions, play instruments, read with the children, and bring the richness of their own cultures into the nursery, through traditional clothing, stories and home recipes. This celebrates the diverse background of our families and strengthens relationships between families and our nursery to support children’s growth. Families also get to follow the adventures of Teddy Eddie the Explorer, the nursery’s much-travelled bear who has recently returned from three weeks in America, having been taken along on families’ own holidays.
Children enjoy taking part in local village events including the annual Easter egg hunt and scarecrow trail. This encourages them to feel part of a community beyond the nursery gate. Families love getting involved in these events as they bring everyone together in our small village, and the children love seeing their creations on display at the nursery for everyone to find.
For families looking for wraparound care, Partou Children’s House runs its own breakfast and after-school club. Children are collected from the local primary school each afternoon and spend their after-school hours in a familiar environment with people they already know and trust. During school holidays, the club becomes a holiday club, meaning siblings at different stages can be in the same place, making life genuinely easier for working families.
Parking is never a worry: the nursery has a large, safe car park, which makes those morning and evening handovers that bit calmer and safer for everyone.
If you’re looking for a nursery in Binfield with exceptional outdoor space, a warm and deeply experienced team, and a real sense of community, we’d love to show you why Partou Children’s House is a great fit for your family.

A friendly supportive nursery. My child has been there since 12 months and is thriving. He is happy going in and loves playing with the adults and children. He has grown to love his food and I'm sure it is through nursery!
For us at Partou, childcare isn’t just a job, it’s a journey – one where every child leads us in a unique new direction.
As part of the Netherlands’ largest childcare group, we’ve access to world-leading expertise in learning and development, so you can be confident your child will benefit from an experience as unique as they are.
Of course, care is as much about empathy as education, and ours is a child-led approach that emphasises building confidence and curiosity – so that every child in our care has the freedom to flourish.
Care
We’re more than just a team; we’re a close community driven by our passion for childcare, and our commitment to each individual child’s development. We know that by working together, we’re stronger.
Compassion
In our community, compassion isn’t just a word; it’s our way of life. By embracing our differences, we make our community more diverse and vibrant. We build strong, supportive relationships with the children and each other, based on trust and understanding.
Continuous learning
We believe strongly in development, for the children in our care and for ourselves. Through continuous learning, we help our team and our children reach their full potential. Together, we make a positive impact, in our communities and across wider society.
Pre-schoolers at Partou Children’s House Day Nursery in Binfield are celebrating having their very first poems published, after taking part in a creative writing project with Young Writers. Discover how they nurture creativity and a love of learning every day.
