Stockwood Lane Day Nursery and Pre-School, Bristol
Situated just minutes away from the town centre and within easy reach of the A37, Partou Stockwood provides excellent childcare and education for children up to the age of five.
Visitors to our setting will notice that we don’t look like other nurseries in the Bristol area. That’s because we use recycled and real-life items in each of our rooms, believing that authentic treasures open up children’s imagination, helping them to develop key foundational skills.
Facilities
Large spacious playrooms filled with authentic treasures made from recycled or real-life items
A large outdoor area, featuring our own allotment and dedicated spaces for children to play
Healthy and delicious meals from our seasonal menu, freshly prepared at the nursery
A ‘home from home’ environment, creating the perfect atmosphere for children to settle
A friendly, experienced team of skilled Early Years professionals
Funded childcare places available
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.

My child has been at the nursery since 2023 and is thriving there. Since extending the amount he attends, his communication and language skills have improved as well as his social development and empathy. He is genuinely excited to go to "school" and is full of smiles and stories once collected. The ...

My daughter started in April 2024 just as she turned one. She's my first child, so I'd say I was a "normal" level of anxious (!) She settled in so much quicker than I was expecting, and from the start it has been the bubbly, positive energy of her key worker that has filled me and my daughter with co...

My daughter has been at the nursery for just over a year. From day one, I have been exceptionally impressed with her level of care. Whilst she was in Squirrels, the staff were adaptive and attentive to meet her needs, as she initially struggled to settle. Since being in Rabbits, she has continued t...

The staff are lovely and talk about my daughter in a way that shows they know her and have been actively involved in her day and are almost as proud as me at her achievements! The environment is great and offers a range of activities plus comfy, quiet areas to sit if they want a bit of space.

Our daughter is 18 months and has been attending since she was 1. She had trouble settling in but the staff were really helpful. They are incredibly warm and kind, and help the little ones follow their curiosity and develop. Would recommend! Only downside is issues with the app.
