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've had 2 children at the nursery over the past 4 years. Both have thrived in the small nurturing environment and have been happy to go in every day. Our youngest child is sadly now in his last few months at the nursery before school, having been there since turning 1 and we will really miss the lo...

We love Nelly's Turney Road! Our 15-month-old all started in the baby room a few months ago and we were impressed with them from the get-go. They offered a long settling-in period (4-6 weeks) which really supported our son's transitions. They have been able to support individual children's routines/n...

She had actually been to two other nurseries before starting at Nelly's and Nelly's is head and shoulders better than the other two. Looking forward to watching her grow and deve...

Excellent placement. My baby is gradually growing into a contented, happy, appreciative confident, respectful and assertive little girl. At this point in her life, social skills are crucial, and l can see the footprints as the days go by. The nursery is quite a distance from me. But l am pleased th...
