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.

As parents, we have been extremely happy with our child's experience and progress at nursery. He started during the pandemic at the age of 1 and has benefitted from being surrounded by other children his age. His language skills have developed greatly since being at nursery and he has become very social. The staff at the nursery have been great and accommodating when necessary. My child's key person has been fabulous which has eased our guilt of being away from our son.

My daughter loves this nursery! She adjusted really well and is always really happy to get ready to go. The team there always seem really engaging and the nursery is very clean which is non-negotiable for me. I wish that we could leave the buggy and have more photos and better quality photos on the Tapestry app, maybe videos too.
We've been very happy with the nursery, the staff and the care. Our daughter has started at three months old and is smiling every morning. Every nursery practitioner has been very attentive to her care, settle and advance. We would really recommend the nursery.

We have loved the experience so far. Our son enjoys going to the nursery daily and always doing different activities.

I couldn’t have been more impressed with this nursery. The staff were always been so attentive, friendly, warm and helpful. I never had any doubts or worries when dropping my son off in the morning. I knew he was being looked after to the best standard every day. The nursery always appeared so clean and tidy, the food was varied and healthy and the activities were imaginative and stimulating. I always looked forward to seeing what fun my little one had been up to on the online learning journal every night!
I am very sad that my son has left, I think it will be hard to find a better nursery. Thanks to all the wonderful hard-working staff who have shown so much love and care.

My niece was in London for holiday and her hotel was opposite the Merchant daycare. Her 2-year-old daughter was welcomed to the daycare and she enjoyed herself thoroughly. I appreciated the warm and safe care provided to my niece and her daughter. I was delighted at the good understanding given to my niece when they had to leave London abruptly and cut their holiday short because of the National lockdown. The managers were exemplary and empathetic. Surely I encourage a visit to the daycare for your young tots if in central London.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say goodbye on behalf of my son who had his last day at nursery last Thursday and to say thank you for all the great care he received from you. My son spent 2 years attending Merchant Square and he was very happy there. He enjoys his days there, learnt many new things, made good friends and loved all his teachers. We are very grateful for the loving way he was cared for, we always felt he was in good hands. My son will miss his friends and all staff.
We want to wish him and his family al the best!

My son has attended the Merchant Square Day Nursery for two years and really enjoyed it. His key persons were exceptional and exceeded my expectations when it came to their commitment and care about the children. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We've been very happy with this nursery. Our son enjoys coming here on his set days. The nursery practitioners are friendly and very capable. We've seen our son develop well since starting here.

It looks all well and good and they say the right things. However, the truth is they have poor safeguarding practices.
The Merchant Square Nursery does not follow protocol. They do not follow procedures when nurturing or facilitating a safe environment for young children.
They will smile in your face and say the correct thing but they are incapable of providing a safe accountable environment and educational experience for children whilst you are not there.
I really would not risk it. Just because it looks nice - doesn’t mean things are as they seem here.

Dear KayaI wanted to respond to your review as the Childcare and Education Director of the Nursery and as the person who worked with you when you initially made a complaint about the nursery. I am sad to see your negative review here on Day Nurseries and sorry that, despite working with you to understand the concerns and investigate these, you are not satisfied with our findings and conclusions and have chosen to express this on this platform.
I would like to reiterate that the findings of the investigation into your complaint along with the comments from our recent Ofsted inspection this year - undertaken the month before your initial complaint - do not share the same view as your review and this is echoed in the other positive reviews left here by other families.

Our daughter has attended Merchant Square Nursery for just under 2 years and started at 4 months old. At each stage of her development, from the baby room to the 2-3s, she has received the best of care. Every nursery practitioner has been attentive, patient and skilled in helping her to settle and advance. The staff have always answered any questions promptly and kept us informed at every step. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We are very pleased and excited about all the changes that have been made in the nursery in the new year including better toys, cleaner facilities, more engaging and more interesting activities, involvement by the carers, etc. Our son really seems to be enjoying going to the nursery and we can see that engagement from the nursery translating into our home and our home activities. Thank you very much and we are very supportive of you continuing in this way in the future.
