Partou Merchant Square Day Nursery & Pre-school

It truly feels like a community rather than just a nursery. We feel very lucky to be part of it.

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.

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.

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!

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!

We really love Merchant Square Nursery. Our daughter has really settled in well and has gained so much confidence thanks to the staff here. I would highly recommend.

We are very happy with our daughter's progress at the nursery. The activities here are very engaging and have made her very confident and creative. The staff here is very good and give attention to each child's needs. Our daughter looks forward to spending her time with all her friends at the nursery!

Excellent and nurturing environment. Was a godsend to my son. Amazing food and social environment. My son has had an amazing two years! Keep up the great work!

Very happy with the progress that my daughter has made. Thank you to Merchant Square Nursery for the effort and care for my daughter.

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.

Amazing staff, friendly supportive and kind. All staff help the kids in many ways and make their time at the nursery full of joy. The team are the most wonderful humans and teachers and they create a good atmosphere and lots of happiness. You can see how much they do for all the kids as the children all love them and respect them. I will defiantly miss them and so will my kids.

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 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.

The best place and the staff very friendly, just I can say highly recommended for everything. Thank you Merchant Square Day Nursery.

My child has attended this nursery since 2020. Our overall experience has been amazing. The care and education provided is of par excellence. The staff at Merchant Square are so committed and work with so much dedication. They have always kept us as parents updated about my child's progress. Communication between staff, management and us has been top-notch. Special thanks to the manager for being so warm and has always attended to our needs. Special thanks to two staff members for always welcoming my child with a smile. We will miss Merchant Square!

Wonderful nursery with good understanding especially when I comes into single mother doing things alone. Thank you to all the teachers that supported my child.

I highly recommend this nursery. The staff are very welcome, they work very closely with the family. My son and my daughter went to Merchant Square, I am very happy. Thank you to all staff and to the manager. I manage to finish my entire course because of you, thank you for understanding me.

Staff are very friendly, our key worker and co-key worker have made a great influence on our child.
