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 could not be happier with King Street nursery. Our son quite literally runs up to the door in delight every morning and when we go to pick him up is having the best fun with friends that he has made and the resources in the room. All the staff at the nursery are kind and caring, whilst speaking to...

We are very happy here, it took my son a while to get used to nursery, but he now loves it. Everyone is very lovely to him and knows him by name and he keeps getting greeted when we are on our way out. He enjoys the food and the new garden!

Have had children at King Street since 2020 and both our son and daughter have thrived. The staff are caring and set up great activities each day, encouraging them with colours, numbers etc if they are interested in joining in. When my son was struggling with transitions his key person made such an a...

Friendly, caring and lovely staff. They are very professional. My kid is happy there. He has developed a connection with other staff, like the cleaner and other workers apart from his key person. The manager is running the nursery very well. If I have any issue/question they respond promptly and help...

The staff at King Street are exceptional. My two children have both attended this nursery (one still does) and they are so interested in getting to know your children, finding out their ways, knowing their favourite games/toys etc. It really seems like they (the children and the staff) have fun, and ...

Absolutely love this nursery! The staff are all so positive, great with ideas and seeing how comfortable my son is when I leave him makes it so much easier. It is a shame about the outside space but they come up with such creative activities throughout the day that he doesn't seem to mind so much. Wh...

King Street Nursery is a lovely nursery. The staff seem dedicated and they are very kind to my daughter. She has been very happy there for the past eighteen months. There is very limited outside space which is the main downside for me but I am grateful that the staff often take the children out to th...

We are very happy that we chose this nursery because it is very convenient, and all of the staff are amazing in every aspect. In terms of indoor activities, also good and would be nice for the children to go outside of the nursery to explore other places for example farms, forests and seasides. Manag...

My child started back in September 2023, and I cannot thank the staff enough for helping my little one come right out of her shell - she has become more confident in herself, has built bonds with staff members and knows she can go to them for comfort, the days she goes to the nursery she is always ha...

Everyone at the nursery is very friendly and communicative. They keep us updated about everything regarding my son, what he ate, what he did the whole day, how many hours he slept, etc and also help him improve wherever we need help with. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been attending King Street Nursery for a year and joined when she was 11 months old. She is very happy and enjoys coming here and grows in confidence every session. They often do crafts and fun games, as well as trips to the park. So happy to see how comfortable she is, even from atte...
