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.

This nursery has been wonderful from day one. My child took a little longer to settle but all the staff were great and I never worried about leaving him. He did many settling sessions and I was offered extra if needed which was great. The children do so many activities every day and it is lovely to s...

My daughter has now moved down to the preschool room and settled in quickly. It has been really special having familiar staff stand at drop off so not everything is new. We really appreciate how well-supported she is and encouraged to develop in all areas. Thank you all for your care!

The staff are all amazingly supportive, especially recently when we expressed that we felt he was ready to move into preschool class. We would have n...

My daughter attended Sucklings Yard from the age of ten months until 3 years old. The care from all the staff there over the years has been exceptional and they have all been fundamental in her development. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I was lucky enough that my child settled in extremely well to nursery, but I know this is because he is well looked after and he feels happy and safe to be there. Whenever I pick him up he comes out with a smile on his face. He has had a very positive experience so far!

This nursery is fantastic - both my children have attended here. My little ones come on leaps and bounds. The staff are very friendly and bubbly, which is great, and my little one can't wait to come back day after day. I can't praise all the staff enough for their work with my children.
