Highlights from the Ofsted inspection carried out at Partou Yeadon Day Nursery & Pre-School on 6th May 2026:

“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.”

“All children progress well in their communication skills. They show that they are articulate and confident talkers as they chat with the staff and their friends. Children move between activities with growing confidence.”

“The achievements of children are celebrated. They show growing independence and pride in their accomplishments.”

“Children respond positively when receiving praise from staff. These interactions help to raise children’s self-esteem and give them a clear understanding of expected behaviours and routines.”

“Leaders ensure that children attend regularly by building positive relationships with families and responding to their individual needs. They work closely with parents and carers and external professionals to ensure that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities or those facing additional barriers to learning, receive appropriate support.”

“Carefully planned settling-in sessions and a gradual start help children feel secure and confident, fostering a positive attitude towards their learning and their time at the setting.”

“Children are given safe opportunities to take manageable risks, such as using climbing equipment in the garden and within rooms. These experiences help them develop confidence, resilience, coordination and problem-solving skills while learning to assess and manage challenges independently.”

“Staff take time to listen to children, share conversations and value their input. Children with SEND or those who face barriers to learning are well supported. Staff effectively plan each child’s learning and next steps. This helps support them and makes them feel included, enabling them to fully access and enjoy learning at the nursery.”

“Regular assessment of children’s progress quickly identifies any gaps in their learning which means that changes and adaptations to activities can be made to target specific areas of learning.”

“Staff ensure that children have opportunities for enhancing their physical development, such as during outside play. Children enjoy running around in the fresh air, climbing and carrying water in cans to where it is needed.”

“Children develop strong bonds with staff and other children. They demonstrate kindness and a caring attitude towards their friends. They are confident, with positive self-esteem, and develop a sense of belonging.”

“The senior leadership team has worked tirelessly through observations and meetings, offering ongoing guidance and support for staff to make positive changes. They support professional development and ensure that staff understand their roles and responsibilities. Leaders are building a supportive environment where staff feel valued and able to contribute to children’s learning and wellbeing.”

“Staff work closely with parents and carers to build strong relationships, enabling them to gather detailed information about each child’s individual needs, interests and home circumstances. This partnership ensures that children receive consistent, personalised support that responds to both their development and daily changes in their lives.”

“Leaders and staff work effectively with other professionals, including schools to support smooth transitions for children as they move on.”

“Children feel secure because staff know them well and respond consistently to their individual needs.”

“Children are valued as unique individuals.”

“Children develop the social skills needed to play and learn cooperatively with others and build positive friendships.”

Partou Yeadon 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 Yeadon Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Leeds 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 51 weeks of the year so children accessing year round childcare at Partou Yeadon will receive 11.17/22.35 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.
