Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-School is located close to Atherton town centre, providing exceptional early years childcare and education for families across Atherton, Tyldesley and the surrounding areas.
The setting occupies a beautiful converted Victorian school building with spacious, homely rooms filled with natural light and neutral decor, creating a calm environment that supports cognitive development and lets children's creativity flourish.
Every room has its own dedicated garden space, meaning all children can enjoy outdoor play safely at the same time. Outdoor learning is a valued part of daily life here, supporting emotional regulation, motor and social skills and growing confidence. The nursery also has a strong relationship with a local forest school, giving children further opportunities to learn and explore in nature.
The long-standing team is one of Partou Footprints' greatest strengths. The Nursery Manager has been at the setting for over 20 years and the Senior Deputy for over seven, providing consistent, high-quality leadership that children, families and team members all benefit from. That stability helps build excellent parent partnerships and a genuine home from home atmosphere tailored to each child's personality and interests.
Family fundraising events including summer fetes and a Breakfast with Santa support the Ronald McDonald Charity, helping children develop empathy and social skills in a fun and meaningful way. Strong links with local schools support smooth transitions, with primary school teachers invited into the pre-school to meet children ahead of starting school.
If you are looking for a nursery in Atherton with a warm, dedicated team and strong family partnerships, Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-School is well worth a visit.

Our son started at Footprints a couple of months ago, at just over 12 months old. It was a really difficult transition for him and for me too (maybe more me!)

Our son started at Footprints a couple of months ago, at just over 12 months old. It was a really difficult transition for him and for me too (maybe more me!)
Although it took him a while to settle, I never doubted that he was in the best place with the best staff. All the team in the baby room have been amazing with him, and very patient as he took his time settling in.
In the first week I was extremely upset, and two specific staff members took the time to comfort and reassure me, which was so kind and very much appreciated as a first time mum struggling to leave her baby!
We've recently had a breakthrough and he's now really enjoying his time at nursery! He's developing brilliantly - his progression is so clear to see, all thanks to the staff and the wonderful variety of activities they do.
I'm so grateful that he's in such good hands, and will enjoy watching him grow in such a lovely environment.

We love footprints, my now 5 year old attended from 10 months and she absolutely loved going everyday, she loved the staff and all the activities they did, she learnt so much during her time.

All the staff have been brilliant over the years and I would recommend footprints to anyone.

5 stars - A Wonderful Start for Our son
We couldn't be happier with the care and support our child has received at this nursery. From day one, the staff have been absolutely fantastic at helping him to settle in - something we were quite nervous about as parents. Their patience and kindness made such a difference, not just for him but for us too.
My son has settled so well and loves his time there, the staff give us updates with pictures about what he has been doing and the meals he has (all of which are amazing healthy freshly cooked meals)
Thank you to the whole team - I can not recommend the nursery and the team enough!

I truly feel like my little boy has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. He comes home so happy and chatty telling me what he's done that day and all the new things he's learnt. Everyday they offer different activities and he calls them all his 'best-friends'. The updates provided throughout the day are frequent.
I just want to thank the whole team from cleaners, chefs, bank staff, room staff / leaders and management for truly making us feel like we have a second family. Thank you for making him feel truly comfortable and happy, going out of your way to purchase things to settle him in and his interests.
When he is at nursery I feel so relaxed and content. Team footprints you are truly amazing!
