Partou Playdays Day Nursery & Pre-School is housed in the Old Grammar School on Church Street in the heart of Blackrod village, providing high-quality early years childcare and education for families across Blackrod, Adlington, Aspull, Horwich and the surrounding areas. Plenty of on-site parking makes drop-offs and pick-ups straightforward.

The nursery has a genuine family feel from the very first visit. Spacious, beautifully resourced rooms and a long-standing team create an environment where children feel safe, happy and excited to learn. Many practitioners have been with the nursery for years, meaning children are surrounded by consistent, familiar faces who know their personalities and interests inside out. Families regularly say their children don't want to leave at the end of the day!

The large outdoor space is a firm favourite, with daily outdoor time supporting physical development, social skills and confidence. Forest adventures give children the chance to explore nature and build resilience, while dance classes develop coordination, rhythm and self-expression through movement.

Community is important at Partou Playdays, with regular outings to local parks, seasonal walks and village visits broadening children's understanding of the world and building confidence in new social situations.

Families are warmly welcomed into nursery life through stay-and-play sessions and events throughout the year, strengthening the home and nursery partnership that makes a real difference to how children feel and how they develop.

If you are looking for a nursery in Blackrod with a family feel, fantastic outdoor space and strong community connections, Partou Playdays Day Nursery & Pre-School is well worth a visit.

What a brilliant nursery, we wanted to view a couple before choosing where to send our little girl. I instantly wanted her here. Whether they are in or outdoors she loves all of the activities. We are always told about her day when we pick her up, about her food, what she's been up to, any naps, etc.
My little girl has some allergies which they have completely covered. Can't recommend Playdays enough.

Amazing place and wonderful staff. I always thought we would be one of those parents having to pry away their child when dropping them off. The opposite is true. The children here are all excited to go. Today our child was hiding as she wanted to stay. The staff are wonderful, dedicated and really get
to bond with the children. It's something we noticed the first day we attended. The revamped external area is great and gives loads of space for them to move around.

Amazing nursery! My daughter is very clingy but after a couple of sessions at Playdays she settled in absolutely fine and now enjoys going. All the staff are lovely, communication is great and there's nothing they could improve on.

Play Days nursery has been a delightful experience for both my children. From the moment we enrolled, the staff made us feel welcomed. The nurturing environment fosters creativity and learning, while the diverse activities encourage social skills. The dedicated and caring staff ensure my child's development
and well-being. The facility is safe, clean, and equipped with age-appropriate resources. I appreciate the regular communication, keeping us informed of our child's progress. The nutritious meals provided add to the overall positive experience. I am impressed with the fun and educational approach to learning at Play Days nursery, making it an excellent choice for any parent.

My little boy enjoys going to nursery, staff are friendly and give an overview of what he has been doing in the day and what he has eaten. I get to see what he has done through the learning book and I know he is well looked after.

My son attends Playdays and from when he started in October 2022 they have been nothing but helpful, caring, and give him the best care I could wish for. They have experienced staff who know your child well and the activities and days are educational and fun. My child always comes home with a smile
on his face. Highly recommend.

Wonderful graduation ceremony. Nice recap of the year and very cute to see my child, and all others graduating, in their caps and gowns. The staff all seemed very invested in the children, as they have throughout the year, and it was nice to see the care and attention which had been put into the ceremony.

We cannot fault Playdays, the staff are always so lovely and provide informative updates on how our little boy's day has been when picking him up. He has thrived since first starting in Lower Toddler, he is now in Upper Toddlers and his development is fantastic. Massive appreciation for giving such
good care to our little boy.

My daughter has recently started at Playdays and the whole process has been so smooth. Staff are friendly and always welcoming and my daughter loves it and is always smiling. It's hard to find a right place to send your little ones but Playdays has made that whole process easy and reassuring.

We love Playdays, we were nervous about sending my daughter to nursery as she has a learning disability but we didn't need to be. The staff are all amazing. They all take time to get to know my daughter, not just her keyworker, and we get great feedback at the end of everyday. The range of activities
the children do give them lots of educational experiences through play and my daughter has thrived. We've also had brilliant support with potty training.

My daughter has been at Playdays for over 2 years and has gone from lower toddlers all the way through to pre school. She has loved every class she has been in and has grown so much from being at Playdays. I can’t imagine a better environment for her to learn and have fun. The staff are amazing and
the outdoor space is perfect for burning off lots of energy.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.971)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.971) out of 10 for Partou Playdays Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.971 for Partou Playdays Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.971
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Playdays Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 96 number of registered child places is 19.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
