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 fantastic and my daughter still to this day loves going to pick up her brother to say hi to everyone! The staff are caring attentive, and go above and beyond to help! Would recommend and do recommend them to anyone wanting to find a good nursery! My child was very nervous starting but they've brought him out of his shell and he's come on so much with speech counting and much more!

We had such a brilliant journey with our eldest so when we had our second child we knew that he would also attend Footprints, there was no doubt about it.
We have peace of mind that our boys have always been safe, well looked after and most importantly we know they have the best time when they are there doing lots of fun activities.
The staff have always been amazing, they are polite, friendly and approachable if you ever have any concerns or queries.
As a parent I am pleased with the recent changes to the management structure. Two members of staff in particular are amazing and I couldn't
think of two better people to manage Footprints!
Thank you for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you trust us to care for both of your children. Our dedicated staff work hard to provide a safe and fun environment for all of our little ones. We are grateful for your support and we will continue to strive towards excellence.

It was definitely the best decision to start my daughter here - she absolutely loves it!
The staff at Footprints Day Nursery especially the management are all lovely and will go above and beyond for you regarding any queries.
I also love receiving her amazing observations and pictures each day on the app or being discussed at the end of the night.

My daughter attends this nursery and I'm so happy I made the decision to send her here! After viewing a few in the area, I instantly knew this was the nursery for her and it hasn't disappointed. The staff are all so lovely and always give a good handover upon collection, I never feel rushed or as though I can't ask questions, and more importantly my daughter has settled in well so thank you Footprints Day Nursery.

The staff are so lovely and genuinely get to know your child's personality and needs.
Our child has flourished and grown at the nursery. It's a warm and friendly place, full of colour and life. We have been so impressed from our child being 1 year old to now in the nursery pre-school.
We would 100% recommend this nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day!

He's been at nursery for a month now. I was really nervous about him starting as he's the only one and has not really been left but he's settling in so well.
All the staff are amazing, so friendly and welcoming. All the staff members in the baby room are fantastic with my son, handovers are brilliant and in-depth, love hearing about his day and knowing he is taken care of so well. Can't thank the girls enough. Lovely to get updates and pictures through the app too.
The manager is lovely and so helpful with any questions I've had. She's brilliant with my son too.
Looking forward to my son's footprints journey.

My 3-year-old daughter has been at Footprints now since April 2024 when she started pre-school.

My 3-year-old daughter has been at Footprints now since April 2024 when she started pre-school. She is excited to get to nursery each day and rushes to get there saying she is going to be late and not to pick her up too early as she loves being there! She tells me about all the exciting activities she does each day and about all the friends she has made. She also loves playing outside and stretching and growing and has made good bonds with the staff at Footprints. I was worried she wouldn't settle as she has always been looked after by me since being a baby but she has settled really well with the help of the staff and I wouldn't recommend this nursery to anyone.
We're happy you found our staff to be so supportive during your experience here at Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-school. Thank you again for leaving us this response!

He has already settled in and each staff member has been absolutely brilliant with him. He's loving all the different activities the preschool room and playground has to offer.
He goes in happily every morning ready for a new day and comes home and tells me all about how much fun he's had.
Thank you to all the team at Footprints

After three challenging weeks of adaptation at a previous nursery, where my daughter cried continuously, she was eventually turned away for "not being ready.". The very next day, we visited Footprints, and from the moment we stepped in, the staff welcomed us warmly and reassured us that she would settle in. By the second day, when I arrived to pick her up and saw her not only tear-free but happily singing on her teacher's lap, it was my turn to cry - with joy this time. As a mother, my heart is now at peace, knowing she is truly cared for and cherished at Footprints. My daughter looks forward to going every day, and I am profoundly grateful to the entire team for their incredible support and kindness towards our family.
We are very happy we could provide you with a positive experience. Thank you so much for your positive comments about Partou Footprints Day Nursery & Pre-school!

The nursery is always clean and well looked after and there are so many beautiful pictures and displays of what the children have made. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough, and would 100% recommend it to anyone I know.

My daughter has been attending since September and has already come on leaps and bounds. We are so happy with everything the nursery and the staff provide from the lovely food to learning experiences, to the love and care given to her. Not only from the members of staff based in the room, but all staff gave us such a warm welcome. My daughter is always so happy to see the staff and to start her nursery day. I would highly recommend Footprints to any parents looking for a nursery for their child.

I asked our little boy what he would say about Footprints and his reply was 'I love it!' and I don't think you can get a better review than that! Footprints hold a special place in our hearts. It is such a warm and welcoming environment. Every staff member is friendly and makes a genuine effort to connect with us. My little boy eagerly looks forward to his time there each week and always has the best days. We love hearing all about what he's been up to! Our journey at Footprints will come to an end in August 2025 when he starts school and we already feel a sense of sadness about leaving. They say it takes a village to raise children, and I'm so grateful that Footprints has been a part of ours!

We only have positive things to say about Footprints Nursery. Both our kids attend and both have settled really well and quickly. All the staff are really engaging with the kids and we get regular updates on how their days are going and what they are doing.

My son has been going to Footprints Day Nursery since he was 6 months old. He is now 16 months old and absolutely loves going to the Nursery every day. The nursery itself is very clean and decorated beautifully. The staff are amazing and my son feels very comfortable with all staff members. He has a wide variety of food every day and oftentimes has second helpings. The app is very easy to use and there are daily updates regarding what he has eaten, slept, and activities he has done throughout the day. Overall, I highly recommend Footprints Day Nursery as my son is thriving here!
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us this feedback, we are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience!
Blown away with major changes in the first week, month and second. Lots of artwork to show. Talks/demonstrates what friends and teachers are doing - new games and activities she learnt. She is much more confident and; happy. Focused on play, art and education. Clear to see she learns new things...
She is no longer hungry and thirsty at pick-up. They are respectful of a vegan diet and never make mistakes. Nappies are always changed and she’s always well taking care of. Proper reports with inevitable little scratches and so on - instead of just ignoring it. We are also really enjoying the application and appreciate the time they put into it. Love seeing pictures!
We're glad you are having such a wonderful experience with us! Thank you so much for your feedback! We hope you have a great day!
Really warm and welcoming nursery. My child has really come on leaps and bounds in all aspects. The outside learning environment is a brilliant space. He always comes home with stories of what he has learned in the day.

I went to view a few local nurseries for my little boy before deciding on Footprints. Following a tour and getting to meet the staff this was one of the easiest decisions I have ever made. The welcome and warmth of this place were so evident from the moment we stepped inside. The girls have all been fantastic with my son and he has bonded with them all in a very short time and has settled faster than I could have imagined. The staff do so much to make sure the children's needs are well looked after and they are always planning fun-themed days and plan their activities around the children's interests. The staff have been so helpful and approachable I couldn't praise them highly enough, we are greeted with big smiles every day its just such a lovely place. I get detailed updates on my son each day, which makes me feel really assured as a parent. I am so glad I chose Footprints, it is a lovely setting with the best staff. Me and my son love it, thank you all so much!
Reviews like this give us motivation and help us ensure we provide high-quality care. Your recommendation means so much to us and we're so happy to have earned it. Thank you again for taking the time to let the world know about your positive experience. Have a great day!
