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 moved to Love Being Little in February 2023, after our previous nursery had closed. We also were in the process of moving our child due to some issues with them. Within 6 months of him joining LBL, he was growing into a lovely mischievous child who was as really happy and coming out of his shell. ...

During the beginning of the semester, I had issues with a bill that was issued to me regarding school meals. I emailed the manager with my concerns. The manager took her time to reach out to her own manager with my concerns. After several emails with the nursery, the bill was cancelled. All thanks to...

My boy started nursery when he was 7 days to 7 months old. I was really nervous initially about the idea of leaving him to the nursery at such a young age. Luckily he settled in really well. Within the first week, he started to get engaged with the activities happening at the nursery and drink his mi...

I recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a small, family-friendly setting. My son has learnt so much from his two days a week at nursery. He has been there since he was 9 months old and I feel like he has been well looked after and cared for by the lovely staff.
