Top tips for making the most of your nursery visit
We've compiled a list of popular questions families ask at nursery visits to help you when deciding which nursery to choose for your child's early years education.
Set within a beautiful, converted house on a quiet residential street, Partou Roundhay Day Nursery & Pre-School provides high-quality early years’ childcare and education on North Park Avenue in Roundhay, Leeds. Our bright, spacious rooms are filled with natural resources that spark curiosity and create a warm, home-from-home environment where children feel settled and happy. We have on-site parking and are well positioned for families across Roundhay, Oakwood, Chapel Allerton and the wider north Leeds area.
One of the things we’re proudest of at Partou Roundhay is the stability and experience of our team. Our longest-serving member of staff has been with the nursery for 13 years, and over half of the team have been here for over 7 years. This level of consistency is important during children’s early years’ education and supports strong relationships between our nursery team and children. Families regularly comment on how well our nursery team know their children, and that familiarity builds the kind of trust that helps children thrive in their early years’ learning. We also have two qualified early years teachers on our team, which brings a real depth of expertise to the quality of teaching across the nursery and helps ensure children are well prepared for the move to primary school.
We understand that safety and security are at the forefront of decision making when it comes to choosing childcare. Our experienced childcare practitioners hold paediatric first aid certificates and have undertaken safeguarding training. Every team member has enhanced DBS checks, and the nursery has CCTV and a secure door entry system for added peace of mind.
Children at Partou Roundhay enjoy a large outdoor area which is divided by age, so every child has access to equipment and play opportunities that are right for their stage of development. Outdoor play is an important part of everyday life here and supports children in building physical skills, confidence and independence. We also take children on regular outings within the local community, visiting parks for seasonal walks, local shops, churches and care homes. These adventures are wonderful for broadening children’s understanding of the world around them, building social confidence through new experiences, and exploring their community in a meaningful way.
Beyond the everyday early years’ curriculum, children benefit from enrichment sessions that bring something extra to their week. ‘Bilingua’ Sing introduces babies and pre-school children to Spanish through songs and play, supporting communication and language development in a fun and engaging way. ‘Baby Ballet’ sessions for our 2- to 3-year-olds help children develop coordination, balance and confidence through music and movement. These activities give children new experiences which build their confidence and are a popular part of nursery life.
Our on-site chef prepares fresh, nutritionally balanced meals and snacks every day in the nursery kitchen, so children enjoy healthy, homemade food that supports their wellbeing and helps them develop positive eating habits from an early age. Families are kept closely connected to children’s early years learning and development through our online learning journal. Our nursery team provide regular updates, photos and progress information so families can follow their child’s journey and feel involved every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a nursery in Roundhay with a dedicated and experienced team, great outdoor space, engaging enrichment activities and a genuine home from home feel, we’d love to welcome you to Partou Roundhay Day Nursery & Pre-School.
