This nursery is the best in Redditch! My children have settled straight away and the Nursery team have given me and my partner support since the moment we stepped through the door. All my worries have disappeared, so thank you. My children tell me about there days and what they’ve done and it so wonderful to hear. The food also smells amazing throughout the nursery every day too! thank you Team Alexandra. Im so grateful! ☺️

Partou Alexandra has been the most incredible start for my daughter. The staff are genuinely caring, patient, and nurturing, and they create such a happy and supportive environment for the children. My only regret would be - I wish Elysia came here sooner. Elysia has grown in confidence, made wonderful friendships, and developed a real love for learning. As a parent, I always felt reassured that she was safe, cared for, and thriving. I couldn’t recommend this nursery more highly to any family looking for a place where their child will truly flourish. Thank you again to the whole team, Elysia is going to miss you all lots!

I am so pleased with how my daughter has flourished here at Partou! She has been attending since 9 months old and I can not thank the staff more for going above and beyond to ensure she has the best care and creating an amazing bond with her! Whenever I tell her its a nursery day, she gets so excited to come and always walks through the door with a big smile on her face! It is such a lovely, cosy, inviting atmosphere as well as having wonderful, kind staff. I would 100% recommend them!

Partou Alexandra is a hidden gem! My children love coming in and being greeted by the staff. It’s like a home from home. The activities are thoughtfully set out and aimed at all abilities. They love the food which is cooked onsite by the chef now which is fab!
