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 little boy loves nursery so much. Staff are so kind and caring. They always have time to chat at drop off or pick up and know my son's likes and dislikes. Regular updates on the app give peace of mind and it's so nice to see him recognising staff and he gets excited when we walk past. He has come ...

Victoria Park is the most amazing setting I could have possibly picked for my daughter to attend after leaving her previous setting. The team took her under their wing immediately from the first visit. They helped settle my nerves of moving her and cater to each and every child's needs and make sure ...

I had taken my child out of the childminders and into this nursery and it was the best decision I've ever made. My girl loves this nursery and all the staff are brilliant with her. There is so much to do, and the food looks brilliant and she eats most of the time. It's such a stress relief to know my...

Victoria Park is the most incredible nursery, with the loveliest staff! I can already see the progress in my little one's learning in the short time that they have been attending. I wouldn't want them to be anywhere else!

Lovely nursery and staff, every time we drop off or pick up our little one we are always greeted with friendly faces. Never feel rushed to leave and will always answer any questions we have. Lots of patience for little one who gets upset a lot when getting dropped off. Great team, thank you!

On first impressions, we were really pleased, lovely, clean nursery and friendly staff. My son had a few settle sessions and settled in amazing straight after which was a shock to me as he is really clingy so he must have felt comfortable and happy. Look forward to him spending the next couple of yea...
