Highlights from the Ofsted inspection carried out at Partou Stockwood Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School on 25th November 2025:

“The safeguarding standards are met. This means that leaders and/or those responsible for governance and oversight fulfil their specific responsibilities and have established an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed. As a result, children are made safer and feel safe.”

“Children’s wellbeing and welfare are paramount to staff and leaders. They have developed a strong key-person system to ensure that highly effective relationships are made for all children. Staff adapt and revise routines and approaches in partnership with parents and carers continually. This ensures that what they do is always in line with the changing needs of children.”

“Staff in all rooms are sensitive to children’s emotional needs and wellbeing. For instance, nurturing staff settle babies to sleep in similar ways to their parents and carers. They understand each baby and implement respectful care routines, helping children to feel extremely safe and secure.”

“Children achieve well, particularly in the prime areas of personal, social and emotional development, communication and language and physical development. They acquire the foundation knowledge and skills they need that will help them succeed in their later learning.”

“Children are well prepared for school through carefully planned activities that build their social skills, confidence and independence. Children build positive friendships and socialise well with one another.”

“Staff help children to understand their feelings and emotions. They offer children support to regulate their emotions. Staff always acknowledge children’s feelings and guide them in ways in which they can express themselves positively.”

“Staff carefully plan activities and experiences tailored to children’s interests and next steps. This well-planned curriculum helps all children to progress in all areas of their development.”

“Staff actively involve parents and other professionals working with children and closely monitor children’s progress. Timely identification of needs and referrals to other agencies, such as speech and language therapists, help to ensure early intervention when gaps in children’s development are emerging. This helps get the tailored support in place for children and helps prevent the gaps from widening.”

“Staff work extremely closely with parents and carers to build strong relationships with them and their children. This helps staff to get to know children as individuals from the start and helps to ensure that they offer a continuity of care and meet each child’s individual needs.”

“Staff help children to learn about how to keep themselves safe. For example, pre-school children assist staff in completing daily risk assessments of the garden to make sure that it is safe for them to play.”

Upon registration, you will be asked to pay a £75 registration fee (non-refundable) or a £75 registration deposit to reserve your child’s nursery place (see terms and conditions for eligibility).

Partou Stockwood Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School is proud to offer funded childcare places 

Funded childcare is a government incentive fulfilled by Local Authorities which aims to provide financial support for eligible families accessing childcare at an OFSTED registered setting. Partou Stockwood Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Bristol Local Authority to apply childcare funding for eligible families.

Funding typically covers 15 or 30 hours per week for the 38 term weeks of the year across a maximum of 10 hours a day which will be applied in different ways depending how many weeks of the year your child is in childcare: 

• Children who are in year-round childcare will receive “stretched” funding. This means that their 15/30 hours over 38 weeks will be stretched over 52 weeks of the year so children accessing year round childcare at Partou Stockwood Lane will receive 10.96/21.92 hours of funded childcare per week. 

• Children who have term-time only childcare places will receive 15/30 hours funding per week over 38 weeks of the year. Term-time only places are limited and are subject to availability.

Government funding for childcare only applies to the care fee (as described above). Meals & snacks and consumables fees are fully chargeable for all sessions including funded.  

Many families are eligible for government funded childcare, see our childcare funding guide for more information.
