Partou Little Big Steps is a purpose-built nursery within a thriving community park in Knowle, Bristol, where children's early years education extends well beyond the classroom.
The building was designed with children in mind from the outset. Each age group has its own dedicated space, from the youngest babies through to children preparing for school. The most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025 observed that children were happy, confident and deeply engaged in their play.
The purpose-built garden is open throughout the day and treated as an extension of the learning spaces. Children move freely outdoors at any point, where activities are set up to invite exploration and imaginative play. Outdoor play supports children to build confidence and independence, as well as social and motor skill development.
Being part of the wider community park opens doors that most nurseries cannot offer. The children sing with elderly residents, use community sports halls and visit the animal gardens on site, giving children an understanding of community and belonging that enriches their early years.
The well qualified nursery team are passionate about growing the next generation. Some team members have worked here for nearly three decades, and families consistently mention the warmth and professionalism of the team and how children settle quickly and return happily each day.
The park's 60-space car park sits right outside, making drop-off and collection safe and convenient, with bus routes, cycling routes, bike storage and a buggy store also available.
If you are looking for a nursery in Knowle with outstanding outdoor provision, a genuinely connected community setting and a long-standing team that families trust, the team would love to show you why Partou Little Big Steps is a great fit for your family.

Everything about this school is amazing, down to the staff and how caring they are. My son has never ever settled in the schools he’s been to! But this nursery has been a blessing, from day one my child has been happy. I’ll be sad to see him leave here for big school as they have made my son feel...
Everything about this school is amazing, down to the staff and how caring they are. My son has never ever settled in the schools he’s been to! But this nursery has been a blessing, from day one my child has been happy. I’ll be sad to see him leave here for big school as they have made my son feel so safe and happy, so caring and loving, thank you for being the best for my baby boy. The school is clean, the toys and education are incredible, and I love how healthy the school is.

Great facilities and caring staff. My son loves his time at little big steps. As a single parent, I have been so grateful for the flexibility the nursery offers for half days and full days. New facilities are set up really well and the team have created a wonderful environment for the children.

Fantastic nursery! The staff in my daughter's room are brilliant, so friendly and my daughter loves going. She gets the chance to do lots of outdoor play and messy play and is always tired out after a morning there!

From the moment she walked in she absolutely loved it here. She has progressed so much with her speech and personality all thanks to the amazing nursery workers here....
I can not thank Little Big Steps enough for giving my daughter the confidence she has gained. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
The nursery have been great with my daughter. She’s been going for almost a year now and although she is a little shy, she enjoys her days here and is making friends. I think communication with parents about what is happening in the nursery and also what my child is up to could be better. But the...
The nursery have been great with my daughter. She’s been going for almost a year now and although she is a little shy, she enjoys her days here and is making friends. I think communication with parents about what is happening in the nursery and also what my child is up to could be better. But the staff care for my daughter very well, so I can’t fault it on that front.

I can't express enough how fantastic all the team are at Little Big Steps. My little boy has been there since December and he loved it from his first day! All of the staff are so kind and caring and we really feel that they know him so well. We were very impressed with the number of activities they do with the babies, forever coming home with a new piece of artwork or a decorated biscuit! The special occasions are also acknowledged well, even with a valentine's card for mummy and pancakes on Shrove Tuesday! The staff keep the learning book updated, usually weekly, with lots of lovely pictures showcasing what they've been up to which is lovely to see and so easy to access. The days that my son goes to Little Big Steps, I feel very content that he is in a safe environment, cared for exceptionally well and above all so happy to see the staff and his little friends.
My son started Little Big Steps in the baby room and is now in preschool. He loves going to nursery learning new things and often will come home talking about his day at nursery.

My son started Little Big Steps in the baby room and is now in preschool. He loves going to nursery learning new things and often will come home talking about his day at nursery. The staff are really friendly and always tell me about my sons day in detail. The nursery has good outdoor space for the children which my son loves as he always wants to be outside.
Wow, what more can I say, this is definitely the best nursery I have ever had a pleasure of being with and I have had a few, the managers are top-notch and make me and my little legend feel very welcome. The rest of the crew are so welcoming and make a point of telling me how my son’s day went,...

My daughter has been attending the nursery full time since a baby. She has learnt so much since her time here and is always excited to come and tell me about the different things she has done that day. Staff are really helpful and friendly and have ensured I know details about her day and how she has got on, I also get to see the different things they have been doing through the learning book app and also their Facebook page. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Simply put, they are amazing. The team are friendly and my son is always happy to go in with them. The handover at the end of the day is never rushed, even with the strictures of covid, I think the team have handled it really well. They have raised really helpful points and are always happy to...
The updates on the learning book are great, and it's lovely to see what he's up too.
My son loves attending nursery here. The staff are really friendly and informative. He completes a range of activities each day and loves interacting with all the children.

My son loves attending nursery here. The staff are really friendly and informative. He completes a range of activities each day and loves interacting with all the children. He often talks about the lovely snacks that he’s had during the day and the meals offered are a real good variety. I love that he learns about all different events that happen and love seeing the little pictures that he makes. I look forward to receiving updates on the learning book to see what he’s been up to. I’m really glad we chose this nursery.
My child loves coming to this nursery, so much so she cheers when we enter the car park and is sad when we pick her up! There is a lot of outdoor space which is so important to us because she loves being outdoors. Her online learning log is regularly updated so it is lovely to see what she is doing...
My child loves coming to this nursery, so much so she cheers when we enter the car park and is sad when we pick her up! There is a lot of outdoor space which is so important to us because she loves being outdoors. Her online learning log is regularly updated so it is lovely to see what she is doing when she attends and she brought home a lot of arts and crafts at Christmas which was lovely. At pick up the nursery staff always fill me in on what she has been up to and they are so friendly to talk to I feel confident leaving my child with them. Their opening hours is also so convenient as I found a lot of nurseries didn’t open until 8 so having that extra hour helps with work flexibility.

Little Big Steps' response to the pandemic has been amazing and I feel very confident that the nursery is safe and following all the guidelines. As a key worker family, Little Big Steps have been really flexible to our childcare needs and communicated with us consistently and clearly. My son really enjoys his nursery days and enjoyed a range of activities, as well as the food! I get the sense that all the staff really care about the children. Thanks Little Big Steps, we love you!
