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.

We love One The Nursery. The staff are kind and lovely people who are amazing with the children. Our daughter loves going and always comes home buzzing about the activities she did with her friends that day!

My son has been at One The Nursery for coming up to a year now, and he loves it. So much so, I feel like he’s bored on the days he’s not there now! All the staff are wonderful, and it’s so lovely to see how excited he gets to see them at drop-off. They’ve also been more than accommodating whe...

My daughter, a two-year-old, absolutely loves going to the nursery to see all of her friends and teachers. I don't have any complaints; they tell me what she's eaten, gotten up to throughout the day and whether or not she's had a good or bad day. As a mother going to collect your child at the end of ...

I have used about three nurseries in Bristol, and The One is by far the best! All the kids look happy, the team look happy, and my little ones love it. I honestly feel like they are my son's second family.

We have been so impressed with One The Nursery since our child started there back in January 2022 at 13 months old. The staff have always been wonderful and incredibly warm and friendly, and the management has always been quick to respond to any queries. They've also been very adaptable to changing n...

My son has been attending for over a year now, and I cannot speak highly enough about the staff and the care that they show him. I see him strut into the nursery every day full of confidence because they all make such a big fuss about him and make him feel important. He loves his key worker, who is...

Both of my children attend/have attended One The Nursery from baby age. Both children have flourished and developed skills during their time there, and the staff provide the highest level of care. Both my children enjoy going, which makes dropping off so much easier.

I currently have one child attending the nursery, and they love going and adore the staff. Previously I have had my eldest in attendance, and both children overlapped for a short time. My eldest also loved to go and partake in the activities forming special relationships with some of the staff. ...

Our son has been attending One The Nursery since July 2020. Our son is now in the preschool room, and we couldn't be happier with how he is cared for by all the staff. They support him emotionally and take an avid interest in his development. When we pick him up at the end of the day, we always get...

My son has always enjoyed going to One The Nursery. He started at seven months old, and they have made the transition as easy as it could have been. Especially considering we were coming out of Covid and lockdowns. They have always made me feel comfortable that his needs are being met at all stages s...
