Set in a large, converted Victorian building half a mile outside of Sandbach Town Centre, Partou Kids Corner is an exceptional, laughter filled day nursery and pre-school which can be easily reached by bus or car.
This historic building has tons of character and original features such as the patterned flooring and old work house bells which spark curiosity and wonder in children. Our rooms are large open spaces with high ceilings and big windows which provide a light and airy environment which is perfect for early years learning and creativity. Older children have access to multiple rooms such as reading and home corners as well as a creative room which they can move around freely according to their interests.
Children at Kids Corner nursery benefit from extensive outdoor play and exploration space and are surrounded by nature and trees with cows and sheep in the surrounding fields.
The Partou child-led learning philosophy is incredibly strong at this early years setting with nursery team carefully developing learning activities in line with children’s interests and experiences outside nursery life, you can see lots of examples of these activities on the Partou Kids Corner Day Nursery and Pre-School Facebook page.
We also have a newly renovated outdoor learning space used to grow seasonal herbs and vegetables providing opportunities for children to learn about where food comes from, enhance fine motor skills, develop language and learn to care for living things.
Our sensory room is accessible to children of all age groups throughout the week. The room has lots of different lights, textures, relaxing sounds and activities to help children to explore, relax and aid emotional regulation. We also hold a monthly yoga session in here which is led by a trained instructor and children’s author which is great for developing strength, balance and coordination as well as providing an additional opportunity for emotional regulation.
Our Deputy Manager, Zuzanna, was awarded “Deputy Nursery Manager of the Year” at the National NMT Nursery Awards in November 2025. This award recognises a Deputy Manager who shows “outstanding leadership and communication skills and commits every day to creating an inclusive and transparent workplace.”
If you are looking for a unique nursery which provides children with the opportunities to build self-confidence and flourish all whilst having fun, Partou Kids Corner could be the perfect fit for your family.

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.
Children at Partou Kids Corner Day Nursery & Pre-school in Sandbach enjoyed a hands-on visit from local firefighters, learning important fire safety lessons while exploring a fire engine and trying out the hose for themselves. Discover more about their exciting day.
