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.

The staff are incredible, from the senior leaders who always answer the door and wish us a good morning, to the individual staff in the rooms who are always ready to give the children a fun day of activities.
The best thing about the nursery is the play, our son always comes home tired and fullfilled.
We are having a second child and i am definitely going to attempt to get them in this nursery.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your son loves our nursery and that our staff has made a positive impact. We can't wait to welcome your second child and continue providing a fulfilling and fun experience for your family. See you soon!
Footprints have been amazing throughout our child's journey there. Our daughter is now in toddlers and loves her time there, she is looked after so well, they understand her and listen to her needs. All the staff always look happy to be there and they always have activities set up for the...
We now have another child who we can't wait to start at Footprints!

Our team takes great pride in providing a loving and nurturing environment for all children, and we are thrilled to hear that your daughter's journey has been wonderful so far. Thank you for trusting us with your little ones, and we can't wait to welcome your second child with open arms!
My son has been at this nursery for about a year now and he loves it so much, he settled very quickly into the baby room when he started and again when he transitioned over to Tinies , he loves all of the staff there and nothing is to much for them.

My child has attended Footprints for over a year and straight away from the settling in session she just settled in really well. This was such a relief as a parent to know that your child enjoys going to nursery and has fun throughout the day. I am kept up to date with what my child eats/does throughout the day as well as being told on pick up. The outdoor area is big and has multiple toys/activities to play with. The staff are lovely, kind, caring and efficient on the security side of things with people coming to the nursery which again is reassuring knowing that not just anyone can walk into the nursery. I am glad my child was in Footprints because I couldn't imagine her at any other nursery.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience! At Footprints, we strive to provide a nurturing environment where children can learn and have fun. It warms our hearts to hear that your child has settled in and enjoys their time with us. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of every child in our care. We are happy to have your child as a part of our Footprints family.
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.

All the staff are very welcoming! My son absolutely loves it in pre school they all make a fuss of him when dropping him off which makes it easier when you are going to work. The facilities are amazing, he loves it in the physical room.

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. My youngest who has just started in the last few weeks has settled really well so quickly and loves all the activities they do in the baby room. All the staff have been brilliant over the years and I would recommend footprints to anyone.

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)
