Partou Upton Day Nursery & Pre-School

About this day nursery

Partou Upton Day Nursery & Pre-School, located in Wirral, has been operating since 2014 as a childcare setting on non-domestic premises, catering to children aged 1 to 4 years. The nursery provides a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where children can thrive and explore with confidence.

Leaders and staff foster a positive culture, ensuring that all children feel valued, respected, and included, particularly those facing barriers to learning. Clear, established routines contribute to a sense of familiarity and security, helping children understand what to expect throughout their day.

The nursery has a strong focus on supporting children's communication and language skills, with stories and songs integrated into daily activities. While the setting is registered as "Requires Improvement," as of its latest inspection on January 22, 2026, safeguarding standards are met, and leaders and staff are actively working on improvements, particularly in consistently implementing their new curriculum to build on children's prior learning and optimise large-group activities.

Parents appreciate the support provided, and collaborations with partner agencies ensure appropriate assistance for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
