Partou Lancaster Avenue Day Nursery & Pre-School

I have two children in Lancaster Nursery and could not be happier with the professionalism and care that is presented/given to my children. The staff are always very attentive and pleasant from my experience and it is well managed. The environment is always safe, enjoyable and clean which is priority elements I seek and believe.

Both our daughters love the nursery, the staff are amazing, the facilities are great and all the children seem happy. The staff take a lot of time preparing structured fun learning sessions whilst incorporating a lot of outdoor play. The chef cooks fresh nutritious food which they enjoy too!

My Granddaughter experience at Lancaster has been a world wind of excitement, growth and enrichment. When I go to collect her, she excitingly tells me about her day and she is always engrossed in exploration. The staff are welcoming and nurturing, they support and guide me when needed. As my granddaughter is leaving to go off to start her new journey in school I am sad to leave and wish all education provision is as cultivating as Lancaster. Thank you team.

My Goddaughter has been attending this nursery since the age of 1 years old, she has grown tremendously within all areas and aspects of her development.The attention to detail to the care and support she receives is above and beyond. The staff are so attentive to her needs and not only do they support her educational development they support her emotional regulation. They have also done an amazing job at broadening her sensory exploration through their limitless activities which i am so impressed with.The management team are always present to help with a lending hand and ear which is very important because i believe communication can reassure, support and resolve most of not all queries. Thank you for the care and love she has received in abundance at Lancaster.

The absolutely WONDERFUL staff at this nursery and the attention and care they pay to the children and the activities they prepare to keep them busy and learning and enrich their lives are brilliant. My son struggled with separation for many years at drop off and they have always provided really gentle loving reassurance and it has made working whilst parenting that little bit easier! Thank you so much to everyone you are brilliant every one of you!

I've had a really positive experience with this nursery and would highly recommend it. The environment is warm, welcoming, and well-organised, with a strong focus on children's development and wellbeing. The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child.

My child loves the new toddler room, which has given my daughter space to grow, build confidence, and become more independent. It has also helped prepare her for moving downstairs to pre-school, making the transition feel much smoother.

The management team are excellent-professional, approachable, and well-organised. Communication is always clear, and everything runs smoothly thanks to their leadership. I feel confident leaving my child in their care and truly appreciate the nurturing, supportive environment they provide.

The team at Lancaster Avenue Day Nursery has all been so wonderful. Love there passion of helping all children's growth and caring nature. I will definitely recommend this Nursery to anyone. I appreciate them all so much. Thankyou

Highly recommended for their dedication and fantastic facilities!

We've been so pleased with the way three staff members in particular and the team have settled my child in over the past 3 weeks. One of these staff members makes so much effort to put us at ease, she is so welcoming at the start of the day, greets us with a big smile and my child has really taken to her. I really appreciate that she gives us a really in-depth report of his day, making me feel so reassured that he's being taken such great care of. Another one of these staff members has also been fantastic, he's always so friendly and always makes a point of taking my child and gets him to interact with the other children. The entire team have been so friendly, and it's a joy to drop him off in the mornings and pick him up. A big reason for choosing Partou Lancaster Avenue Day Nursery was for the garden, and we're so pleased with how much time my child has been spending outside. Oddly, I'm also pleased to see a bag of dirty clothes in his bag! I love that he's been given the freedom to explore and play. We've also really enjoyed the app updates. Thanks for such a great start!

Many thanks to all the staff.

I would like to see the nursery modernise some of the communication with parents in terms of more regular notices and a better app for sending photos and daily diaries.

Thanks to all.

My compliments to the staff, they are amazing. As a first-time parent, I am more than comfortable and content to leave my child in an environment that has that home away from home feel. They catered to me and my child's needs during the settling-in period and accommodated any changes without hesitation. Thank you all for your hard work and caring hearts.

My daughter has been attending Nelly's Nursery for almost a year now. She is very happy going in every morning and even on days that she is off, it feels like her second home. The staff and managers are nurturing and supportive and they provide her with so much attention and positivity. I have been giving great feedback on eating habits and communication. I will highly recommend Nelly's Lancaster to anyone looking for a nursery.

Our son loves Nelly’s and runs in eagerly every morning to see his friends and carers. The staff are fantastic, there is a very good longevity of key carers and so care feels consistent and dependable. The children are occupied with a variety of activities and are outside as much as possible when the weather permits. We also like that the objects they play with are natural and everyday items and there’s lots of reading. There are lots of photos and good communication. Lastly, we are so grateful for the hours that Nelly’s operates - we rarely use the extra 30 mins either end of the day than other nurseries (nelly’s is 7.30-6.30) but it is very useful to have and makes those more stressful work days less so! My only criticism would be maybe a few more outings outside of the nursery but they do music classes, etc. in-house so all in all lots are offered.

Very much feels like it’s an extension of home and our toddler is always excited to go and to see his friends each day.

The environment at Nelly's Nursery is that of a second home, my child grins when we reach the doors and is sad to leave at the end of the day. There is every and any activity to do, especially in the excellent outdoor space. We sent our eldest to Nelly's too and they flew through potty training and the early stages of identifying letters and writing with the support of the wonderful staff. We have two curious, happy and independent children - and the wonderful Nelly's staff have been a major part of that.

A safe, enjoyable, and caring environment with high standards are priorities for the new management. Amazing staff members who have a caring attitude and a lot of heart. Our daughter's excitement about attending this Nursery is tremendous. Our daughter's key person truly works hard to keep us informed about our daughter's daily progress and nursery activities.

Current nursery management are amazing as are the brilliant staff that care for the children day to day, there is a true sense that all of the staff truly care for the wellbeing and development of the children. In addition to the amazing staff, the activities that the children are able to partake in and the large outside space creates a brilliant environment for children to thrive in.

Nelly's Nursery - Lancaster Avenue is an incredible nursery. The building and the outside space is beautiful. I can't imagine a nursery with a better garden, with so much space, a mud kitchen, slide, summer house and huge sandpit. However it is not the excellent building and the facilities but the staff that make Nelly's so magical. Somehow they make looking after all the children look so easy and the environment just feels warm and calming. The activities offered look so much fun. I have 22 month old twin boys and I can see just how much they love the freedom to play and explore but also how safe and secure they feel in the environment at Nelly's. There's dress up, baking, messy play and so much more. I feel confident when I leave for work, that my boys are in the absolute best care and the peace of mind that provides me with is so valuable. I would recommend them fully to any prospective parent looking at nurseries in the area.
