The Partou experience
At Partou, the children lead the way. They explore their surroundings and learn about the world they live in, by choosing for themselves which activity they want to join in with next.
Our team are there to care for them and keep them safe. To nurture their emerging abilities and encourage them to seize each fun-packed day. But not to tell them what to do next.
Why? Because when children are allowed to choose their own activities, rather than being told what to do, they naturally choose the activities they’re most interested in. And scientific research has shown that being interested in what they’re doing is the easiest and best way for children to learn.
Food & nutrition
Creating healthy eating habits for young children stretches far beyond their time with us. It encourages a lifelong positive relationship with food whilst building healthy bodies and healthy minds. Here’s how we encourage healthy eating habits:
- Rotating menus: Evidence shows regular exposure to foods helps children to develop their taste for them, yet we still want to offer variety. So, we rotate our menus on a three-to-four-week basis, offering the perfect balance between exposing children to new foods yet allowing them to become familiar with flavours.
- A lunchtime focus: We prioritise lunch as a time where children can enjoy their food. There is a social aspect to all lunches and, where possible, children are encouraged to take an active interest in the food they eat.
- Fresh food everyday: We serve children fresh food every day and accommodate many different dietary requirements. We have procedures in place to protect children with food allergies and offer different meal options too. If your child has a dietary requirement, simply let us know as part of our registration process and we’ll make sure we meet the needs of your child.

My 2-year-old daughter is so happy at nursery and we are incredibly pleased with her experience. She is learning so much: she sings me Baa Baa Black Sheep, talks about tidying up, gives thumbs up and tells me “good job!” and has also started asking for story time and says the phrase “I’ll huf...

All the girls in the toddler room are amazing! My little boy can't wait to get to nursery and if he thinks he's not going he cries (he loves the girls more than us). Since starting in October, he now says words but before he only said Mummy and Daddy. We all love this nursery.

From the settling-in sessions to his first day of nursery, the staff have made both myself and my son feel completely comfortable and reassured throughout.
