A bit about Us

Partou UK is one of the UK's largest and fastest-growing childcare providers, formed through the acquisition of Just Childcare in June 2021 and All About Children in September 2022. Since then, the organisation has continued to grow with clear intent - balancing expansion with a deep commitment to the wellbeing, development and experience of children, families and teams. Our approach to growth is thoughtful and people centred. We recognise that behind every nursery are dedicated teams, trusted relationships with families and unique local communities. As we expand, we invest significantly in high-quality early years practice, professional development and reflective ways of working that support continuous improvement and shared learning across the organisation.
