Partou Merchant Square is a purpose-built day nursery and pre-school designed to the highest specifications, providing high-quality early years childcare and education for families throughout Paddington.
At Partou Merchant Square, every child is seen as an individual, carrying their own unique set of experiences, culture and potential. The team's role is to walk alongside them, building confidence, curiosity, friendships and a love of learning along the way.
The nursery's location within the Merchant Square residential and leisure area means early years learning extends naturally beyond the building. Daily walks around Merchant Square, along the canal and to the local post office give children meaningful opportunities to connect with their community and discover the wider world.
Indoors, neutrally decorated and well-resourced rooms provide plenty of space for imagination and learning to flourish. The Discovery Room is a particular highlight, offering a space of awe and wonder that supports sensory and physical development through exploration, movement and calm reflection. Families regularly comment on the confidence and happiness they see in their children as they progress through their time at the nursery.
The warm and engaging team places great importance on building strong bonds with both children and families, working in close partnership to ensure the best possible outcomes for every child.
If you are looking for childcare in Paddington that prioritises nurturing relationships, meaningful play and strong family partnerships, Partou Merchant Square is well worth a visit.

I found Iris has reached a huge milestone recently. Since around mid last week, she started saying 'please', 'thank you' and 'you're welcome' a lot. And i mean, A LOT - for literally EVERY SINGLE thing we do for her at home.
Example, I was trimming her nails the other day and after each nail trimmed, she said 'thank you mamaaa' (exaggeratedly long way of her saying 'mama'). So she did 20 thank yous in 3 minutes!
She also understands to say 'you're welcome' when we say 'thank you' and using 'please' for every favour like wanting 'milk please, mamaaa'
As much as we do this at home too, I feel she mostly watched and learned a lot of her 'good characters' from nursery i.e you & team teaching the kids good values.
So, I want to thank you so much for being amazing carers!

I'm so grateful to the team for everything they do for our son, even with a health condition arising the nursery quickly put a plan in place to make sure his needs are met at nursery.
I'd recommend this nursery to everybody and anybody!
Life skills are taught which is very impressive, our son is able to assist in cutting fruit and making lemonade.
10/10 Team.

Since starting, my son's vocabulary has grown so much. He has learnt so many new words, become more confident, and it's been wonderful to see how much he has developed with their support and encouragement.

Since July 2025, our 2 year old has been attending the nursery. We recently moved to the UK after moving country twice since our child's birth, the nursery provided a caring and nurturing environment and routine that helped our child settle in to another new country. Without the kind and supportive staff this would not have been possible, we feel welcome and loved and part of a beautiful family.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased that we could help your child settle into a new environment and that your family feels welcomed and supported. We look forward to being part of many more happy memories together.

He now genuinely enjoys going to nursery, which as a parent is the best feeling. The environment is warm, friendly, and full of positive energy. The staff are approachable and caring, and the manager leads the nursery with professionalism and kindness.
It truly feels like a community rather than just a nursery. We feel very lucky to be part of it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that our supportive team helped your son settle in and that he genuinely enjoys coming to nursery. Your kind words about our warm and friendly environment mean a lot to us, and we will continue to strive for the highest quality of service and support for all our families.

Our 20 month old daughter currently attends Merchant Square nursery 4 afternoons a week. She has a great time, with many varied activities (drawing, water play, cooking, dancing, reading to name a few) and adventures exploring the local area and nature. The staff are incredibly supportive and attentive - I feel very grateful we found such a perfect, loving place for her. She's also making great friends and building relationships with the other kiddies which is magical to see.

Our dedicated team strive to create a loving and supportive environment for every child. We are grateful to have your trust in our nursery.
My child has been attending Merchant Square since October 2025 and we cannot say enough good things about it. Graziela is a phenomenal nursery manager, and she runs a very tight ship. All of the staff have such passion and dedication for their work, and they've only ever been helpful and welcoming...
My child loves her time in nursery and looks forward to it, they provide such an amazing range of activities and educational outings.
I recommend this nursery very highly and have such gratitude for Graziela and her team.
I'd like to highlight in particular Marina, Rokeya and Maha who are my child's main carers. They're such exceptional caregivers and my child is always excited to see them.
I also cannot say enough about Graziela who goes above and beyond for this nursery.
Thank you to the whole team at Merchant Square, you've been a godsend.

My son joined back in June 2024 and has really struggled to settle in. The nursery staff however have been very supportive both towards my son and I to find the best way to settle him in. The staff are all so lovely and caring. You really get to know them which puts me at ease knowing they genuinely care and enjoy what they do. The kids all seem very happy with plenty of toys and space to play in. What I really like about this nursery is the amount of children in each room. Compared to other nurseries this nursery doesn't have many kids which is something I really like because it allows the staff to really pay attention to each child's needs and also makes it easier for children to settle into a new environment knowing they get the comfort they need. The safeguarding policies in place are really good. You get a phone call if any accident occurs so no surprises when you pick up your child. There's an app where they update you on what your child has done during each day.
We're happy you found our staff to be so supportive during your experience here at Partou Merchant Square Day Nursery & Pre-school. Your recommendation means so much to us and we're so happy to have earned it. Thank you again for taking the time to let the world know about your positive experience. Have a great day!
Our son has been at Partou Merchant Square since 6 months old (now 2) and has loved his time until now! He runs in in the morning and always comes home happy. Staff is lovely and really take the time to get to know our son. Would highly recommend it!

Thank you for your kind review; we are happy to pass along your comments to the team here at Partou Merchant Square Day Nursery & Pre-school!
My daughter came to the nursery very young and my wife and I were worried how she would get on away from us so early. Luckily for us, our daughter found such a wonderful, warm and happy place that makes her happier and happier every day. We're lucky to have found Merchant Square!

Our daughter settled in super quickly (just a few days!) with the help of the welcoming and caring team at Merchant Square. She gets super excited to get into the pram every morning and throw herself into her key person's arm every morning, and every weekend when we walk by she is quite disappointed to not get inside. Have absolute confidence in the team for caring for the most important person in my life.
Great place with super friendly and dedicated staff. My daughter has been attending for seven months now and refuses to leave when I pick her up. She's learning a lot and making friends. Very happy with it.

Merchant Square are amazing! My son started here at 10 months old and the care and learning he has had surpassed any of my expectations. His speech and understanding is way beyond my expectations and I couldn't be happier. The staff look after him as if he was their own child, encouraging him to try new things and helping him where he needs it. The meals are healthy and nutritious, the activities and outings are knowledge based as well as exciting and the general day to day care is second to none. The best decision I've ever made was sending him to Merchant Square.
My son had an amazing time and journey at Merchant Square. His learning trajectory was excellent and this was thanks to the care and effort of the staff. He loves his nursery (or tea party as he calls it) his peers, the staff, he brings home lovely stories and memories. I've never felt so confident...
My son had an amazing time and journey at Merchant Square. His learning trajectory was excellent and this was thanks to the care and effort of the staff. He loves his nursery (or tea party as he calls it) his peers, the staff, he brings home lovely stories and memories. I've never felt so confident to leave my son in the care of someone as I feel with Merchant Square, this is the biggest peace of mind that a parent can have. Thank you very much.
