They plan and implement strategies and interventions to ensure that all children with SEND receive the support that they need to make good progress in their learning and development.
Our child has been attending Arnold Partou for almost a year and really loves it there. The staff are friendly, caring and very creative with the activities they set up for the kids - often using household or natural objects, with different things to do around the room and in the morning / afternoon. The garden has both grass and enclosed decked areas with a variety of things to play with / climb on. They tend to get he kids outside every day, whatever the weather! They've managed to be flexible when I have asked for additional days, and are really responsive to questions / requests. Our eldest child went here also a few years back, and we're pleased to see the consistently good care our children have received. Thanks Partou Arnold!
Read on Google⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Nursery – Truly Inclusive and Exceptional Care Partou Arnold is an absolutely incredible nursery, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment you walk in, you can see how much thought and care goes into everything they do. The setting is always clean, bright, and beautifully organized. Every area has a clear purpose, from inviting reading corners to creative art stations and stimulating sensory play zones. It’s a place where children feel safe, engaged, and truly happy to learn. What makes Partou Arnold stand out even more is its inclusive approach. This isn’t just a nursery for “typical” children—it’s a supportive, understanding environment for children with additional needs, SEN, or any extra challenges. The staff are trained, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping every child thrive at their own pace. They adapt learning to meet individual needs, all while following a rich, play-based curriculum that encourages curiosity, confidence, and independence. When my son first started at age 2, he was almost entirely non-verbal. Fast forward two years, and the transformation is remarkable. He now speaks confidently, forms long sentences, and expresses himself with such joy—and I truly credit the team here for that progress. Their speech and language support, constant encouragement, and structured activities made all the difference. Every day, the nursery radiates love, care, and positivity. The staff know every child, their quirks and strengths, and make them feel valued and understood. You can tell this isn’t just a job for them; it’s a calling. If you want a nursery that combines a clean, professional environment with warmth, inclusivity, and an outstanding curriculum, Partou Arnold is the place. They’ve given my son the best possible start in life, and I’ll always be grateful to each and every one of them.
Read on GoogleI’ve had a great experience with this nursery, they are very attentive to my son, update me on everything and my child is happy, learning and safe in their environment! Genuinely lovely people who care and would recommend Partou to anyone looking for a good nursery in the area
Read on GoogleMy experience with Partou has been very disappointing. I was told there was availability for a Wednesday place, so I promptly registered my children and paid the £75 non-refundable registration fee. Shortly afterwards, I was informed that the Wednesday place was no longer available. Which was frustrating but I was completely understanding I emailed the manager several times to request a refund, as I had only paid the fee based on the understanding that the Wednesday space was confirmed. All of those emails were ignored. Despite not responding to any of my questions or concerns, the manager did contact me when an invoice was mistakenly sent out. This message was replied to immediately — but again, none of my emails about the refund were acknowledged. It felt as though communication only happened when it suited them, and not when I raised legitimate issues. I’m disappointed by the lack of professionalism and transparency, especially after paying in good faith and trying repeatedly to resolve the matter politely. I would strongly advise other parents to ensure that they receive written confirmation of session availability before paying any fees.
Read on GoogleI highly recommend Partou Arnold The staff are very attentive and also go the extra mile for the children. They tailer activities to each child's interest and always keep you informed with activities. It really does feel like a home from home environment with so much love given and time. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I Have Been Using The Nusery for the last 7 years For My Children And my Current Child Is In The 2-3 room. I have used the nursery from the age of 8 months old for my children.
