Partou Merchant Square Day Nursery & Pre-school

We love Merchant Square and our daughter has learned so much in the preschool room, in particular. The staff are caring and kind, and a previous period of high staff turnover seems to have stabilised.

I couldn't be happier with Merchant Square. The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

All the staff in the baby room have really helped to settle my son in. The feedback of his days in the baby room are always positive and he is really progressing. Thank you to all the staff in the baby room.

We are pleased with the level of care our children are experiencing at Merchant Square. They are happy and enjoying their time at the nursery. They have plenty of learning opportunities through play. The environment is safe and staff are friendly and caring.

We are so happy with all the care our son receives here. He has made great progress due to the knowledge and kindness of the baby room staff.

We have been extremely pleased with our son's development from 10 months when he started to 21 months. The nursery has been able to teach him many things we might not have done at home, such as communal eating, art and messy play, playtime with his friends, free playtime in a safe secure environment. Allowing him to explore different foods and normalise a lot of new activities for him e.g. tidying up.

Great progress with developing our child. Very happy as all staff are very friendly and very experienced.

We have been very pleased with the nursery. Our daughter has been in the baby room for 5 months (since 11 months old) and the team have been lovely. The head of the baby room and our key person were our main points of contact but it was lovely that all the staff built relationships with the babies, so drop off wasn't limited to certain people. The team (staff to management) do well to foster trust. The nursery is clean, things are organised. There is generally a relaxed vibe which we really appreciated. We've been so grateful that we genuinely feel very comfortable with our daughter being at Merchant Square Day Nursery, no stress or guilt at all our end. A really lovely team.

My daughter enjoys attending the nursery and looks forward to each day. The staff are friendly, relaxed and caring.

My son started preschool in January 2019. The girls and the manager have been great. When I come there is a warm feeling, all the staff are friendly. I always feel comfortable and safe leaving my son. Thank you very much, Merchant Square for helping my son!

Our baby has settled very well in this nursery where the staff is extremely kind and caring. There are many activities available to keep babies busy and encourage their development. The only downsides are the lack of outside space of a dedicated and isolated sleeping area in the baby room, and an important staff turnover.

This nursery is excellent and has really helped my son come along with speech, emotional wellbeing and being aware of his learning. The staff are very knowledgeable and loving towards everyone.

My elder daughter goes to nursery preschool more than 2 years now. She is extremely happy and looks forward to going there every day. I decided to send my younger daughter to your nursery form 4 months old and so far she enjoys being there and grows up safely and steadily. I really want to thank all the staff for taking care of them so well. I cannot thank them enough.

We are very happy with Merchant Square Day Nursery. We have found the staff to be caring and patient, important attributes given our child has only recently started nursery for the first time. A big thank you to all of them.

The nursery has a wonderful and caring staff. I feel confident leaving my son there every morning. He has been attending it for nearly two years now and loves it. The staff are very professional and he learnt a lot in his time there. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

I am very impressed with the progress my daughter has made in recent months. Merchant Square Day Nursery is helping her with her development.

Staff are very friendly and attentive to the children's needs. Variety of indoor and outdoor play facilities for babies to explore. Online 'tapestry' to monitor a child's development. No parking facility for drop off/pickups.

My daughter is extremely happy and well looked after at Merchant Square Day Nursery. The staff are wonderful with her and she enjoys all of the activities and learning opportunities they provide. I have been very impressed!

Merchant Square was excellent for our son. Staff did a great job communicating what he did in school at the end of each day.

I have been overall very satisfied with this nursery. The staff is caring and easy going regarding parent requests. The kids seem to be very close to their caregivers and this is very important. The management has been so far very flexible, good at communicating and no surprises on anything - good consistent care of our kids. The main drawback is the lack of outdoor space but kids are often taken out for walks. If I could think of one area of improvement that would be the food as even if plenty of fruit is provided, it is a bit carb heavy - toast, pasta, sandwich, wraps etc.
