Partou Arnold Day Nursery & Pre-School sits on St Albans Road, just minutes from Nottingham town centre, and has built a strong reputation for delivering outstanding childcare and early years education.
The setting occupies two spacious Victorian houses with on-site parking and a long lawned garden running the full length of both buildings. Well-resourced with a sandpit, mud kitchen, sensory tunnel, climbing frame, boat and a cosy sensory den, it is a wonderful space for children to explore and play while building confidence, independence and social skills.
The team are well known for their warmth and care, taking time to get to know each child's interests and experiences to shape early years learning that feels fun, engaging and genuinely relevant to every child.
Families are supported beyond the nursery day through a community library for borrowing books to enjoy at home, and "topic bags" packed with resources to help navigate key childhood moments, from birthdays to bereavement.
Pre-schoolers leave in style with a Saturday school leavers party, a vintage tea party bringing families together for crafts, a photo booth, glitter tattoos, a sweet stall and a disco.
If you are looking for a nursery in Nottingham where your child will be genuinely known, cared for and inspired, Partou Arnold Day Nursery & Pre-School is well worth a visit.
Partou Arnold Day Nursery & Pre-School has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.735) out of 10, based on 15 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time Partou Arnold Day Nursery & Pre-School has 49 reviews.

I couldn't be happier with the Nursery. My daughter has been here since she was 5 months old and they have always gone above and beyond for her. She has severe allergies and they have dealt with the situation so well putting additional things into place which we are so grateful as a family for. So far, we've only had experience with the baby room, but the staff as so friendly and caring, I go to work knowing my daughter is in good hands. Even at 18 months old, she gets so excited for Nursery, running in every morning! Thankyou for all that you do!

My child runs to the baby room staff in the mornings now and may I add now doesn't want to leave when its pick up time, which is so comforting for me in a werid way, as he clearly enjoys it and has fun with the staff members and children in his room.

Arnold Nursery- i would highly recommend i have been though bad experience with a Nursery in the past with my little boy and from him starting here he is shining he loves the team and my little girl came here from 9 months to age 3 she loved it also. They are all welcoming and friendly. i know my little boy is in good hands that's massive statement from me as i have been though not great times. One staff member in particular in the baby room i think she is amazing, i feel so much better leaving him with her as he is so happy with her and she is so friendly and you can see the kids love her. Makes me feel my little boy is in good hands. The Team in the baby room are all great also!

I have used Partou for the past 3 and half years. My little boy have built amazing friendships and lovely binds with the staff. She was very attached to one staff member in particular in the baby room and now two specific staff members in the pre school room. One of these staff members in the pre school room in particular has really contributed towards my little boys speech, who was previously with a speech therapist, she has even taken an interest in my son's second language - Italian and picked up when my son might be speaking his second language at times. There is also genuine care from the staff members with my son's picky eating and always report what he has eaten and what attempts they have tried to encourage new foods.
I like that the nursery is like a home and the resources are often natural and recyclable. Hopefully baby number 2 will be going (if there is space) next year

Since coming under new management in September 2023 the nursery has turned around. Over Christmas, a fantastic winter wonderland was created with meet and greet Santa, to a standard that rivalled many paying experiences. The staff are motivated, caring and knowledgeable, they use an app to record daily activities with videos and photos which makes me feel present during all my child's accomplishments. Each day I see the excitement that going to Leos Day Nursery brings to my child. Each week I'm impressed by the setup and activities created to engage my child with different cultures and celebrations and each month I feel like I've shared in my child's experiences and growth.
Overall I would highly recommend Leo's Day Nursery Arnold as a safe space for children to learn, develop and play. I think a lot of this is down to the new manager, and I can't wait to see how they transform the outdoor area ready for spring.

My review relates to our whole experience with Leo's Day Nursery. We think they are absolutely brilliant! Our son is in the baby room and the staff are so thoughtful, genuinely caring, fun, bubbly and approachable. I can't thank them enough for the care they've given to our child. Our son has been poorly here and there so we're always a bit worried about that first day back at nursery but the staff are so reassuring and knowledgeable about the children's needs - we know he's in such good hands and the staff will call us if we need to know anything! We can't recommend them enough. Thank you Leo's staff for all that you do!
