Inspector highlights
Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Staff work in partnership with parents and external agencies to effectively support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
The outdoor areas provide children with very good opportunities to build on their physical skills. Staff challenge children to throw beanbags long distances and develop good control of a football. Children are learning to assess risks under the close supervision of staff. However, staff do not consistently ensure that children are provided with a wide range of learning opportunities outdoors.
Children who speak English as an additional language are very well supported. Staff ensure they use their home language, as well as English, during play. This also helps other children to develop an understanding of the wider world.
Choosing this nursery for our daughter has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. Since starting, we’ve seen tremendous growth in her development, thanks to the highly interactive and nurturing approach of the staff. They are not only fantastic with the children but are also genuinely invested in their progress and well-being. The senior leadership team is equally impressive, ensuring a warm, welcoming, and well-organized environment. The facilities are outstanding, offering everything our daughter needs to thrive and explore. Most importantly, she is so happy here, and seeing her excitement every day confirms we made the right choice.
Read on GoogleMy son (3 nearly 4 years old) is really enjoying his time at Ware Partou since joining in September 2024. The settling in sessions in August were fantastic to help my son adjust to the new setting and everyone has been so friendly, helpful, patient and nurturing, especially Jade R and the pre-school team. The safety and security is taken very seriously which is reassuring. The facilities are brilliant, the variety of activities is excellent with some more structured tasks, child-led learning and “free play” opportunities everyday. The outdoor space is again fantastic. The food is superb - healthy, fun and varied - the amount of new foods my son has come home excited about is incredible. But the absolute best thing about Ware Partou is the communication from the excellent team - daily food intake logs along with play and learning updates regularly on the app, other more general information by email, as well as quick verbal updates about his day at pick up and drop off too. We are delighted with how well our son has settled in and impressed with how much progress he is already making in his letter formations, peer-interactions and confidence in general. We look forward to seeing this continue.
Read on GoogleJade and team at Partou Ware are amazing. My little girl has been at the nursery since she was 4 months old. the Partou team have been a massive part of her upbringing. My daughter loves going everyday and has so much fun. i couldn't ask for a better nursery. Knowing she is there having fun, looked after by people who truly care about her, her development and is completely safe is a blessing. i cant recommend highly enough
Read on GoogleOur 18 month old daughter started at Partou Park Road in August. We viewed the nursery in July and loved it so much that we didn’t bother looking at any others. She is still settling (to be expected) but the staff have been brilliant at supporting this. They have a curiosity approach where the children are encouraged to choose the activities they want to explore further, supported by the adults and her peers. There is always an activity on the tuff tray, the sandpit, a home corner, a wide range of other indoor play items and an outdoor area, which she loves. We couldn’t fault the care she has received and would recommend the nursery to others.
Read on GoogleOur son has been at Angels at Play Park Road for nearly three years and we have always had a great experience. The staff are amazing, the nursery is really well run (with a particular shout out to how brilliant they were managing the past 18 months), and - most importantly - our son is really happy and thriving. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.
