It has been wonderful to see how much she has grown and developed during her time there. The staff have always been so kind, caring and attentive towards her,…

My son has developed so much, not just with things like speech but also things like imaginative play. His confidence has gr…

I am so happy that my daughter got to attend Ladybirds over the last several years. She has flourished and become such an independent girl while being here. All the staff are hard working and dedicated to their roles. I couldn’t have wished for a better nursery for her to attend. It saddens me that s…

We moved our daughter to Ladybirds after her previous nursery in Colton closed with no warning. It was a stressful few weeks, and Leanne & Sarah in management could not have been more accommodating. Leanne was brilliant and found us a place and took the stress and worry out of it completely. The dif…

The manager is very welcoming, friendly and approachable. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Sometimes the feedback from the child’s day is minimal at times depending on staffing but you always get some feedback. Any issues I’ve had have been dealt with quickly and I have felt comfortable if I n…

Moving to a new county, I was so worried about how my little one would settle into a new nursery. But seeing her walk in with a big smile, no tears, and even cry when it’s time to come home has melted my heart. She’s always busy with fun, engaging activities and comes home so happy. A huge thank you …

My son has been at the nursery for two years and has had a brilliant time. The staff are kind and caring and my son has really bonded with them. They took the time to get to know him and set up activities that would interest and challenge him. There have been lots of improvements since he has been th…
Every Partou nursery is set up to invite children in, and during open week you’ll see the spaces exactly as children use them day to day. Different areas will be ready to explore: a construction corner mid-build, paint out on the table, books and cushions in a quiet reading spot, gardens set up for digging, climbing and learning through play.
Our teams refresh the environments regularly in line with children’s interests to really spark their curiosity and provide quality learning experiences.
If your child comes along, let them wander and pick up whatever catches their eye. How they respond to a space often tells you a lot to help you make this important childcare decision.
The heart of the nursery environment is the people behind it. Open week is your chance to meet the practitioners who would be caring for your child, ask what a typical day looks like, and hear how they settle a child who finds mornings hard.
Our team will be on hand to answer your questions about staffing, qualifications, mealtimes, funded hours or anything else on your list. No question is too small. If you’d like a starting point, our top tips for making the most of your nursery visit sets out the questions families most often find useful.
Many of our teams have worked together for years and know their local area and its early years community well. You’ll pick up on that quickly, in the way they talk about the children already with them and how they greet yours.
Every Partou nursery has its own setting and its own community around it. Visit any of them, anywhere in the UK, and you’ll find the same shared values running underneath.
Child-led learning is at the heart of what we do. Our teams observe what captures each child’s curiosity, using those natural moments to shape meaningful learning experiences. For example, a rainy day can inspire an array of discoveries: tracking rainfall in a measuring cup, splashing in puddles while building new vocabulary, creating vibrant finger paintings of stormy skies, or launching into a conversation about global climates. The opportunities for learning and fun are endless.
Books sit right at the heart of our curriculum. You’ll find them all over our nurseries as sharing a story is one of the quickest ways to open up a child’s world.
There’s real wonder in all of this for children, and the space to notice things properly. The people who deliver it every day are the best ones to ask about it, so do come and talk to them while you’re with us.
