Little Achievers Nursery in the Park, in Skelmersdale, has excellent indoor and outdoor play environments for early years learning, benefiting from strong community links, including with outreach workers and health visitors, to offer parents the complete childcare package.
Additional features include a fabulous Reggio Emilia inspired approach to early years, multi-sensory room, separate playrooms for babies and toddlers, and soft play surfacing. The nursery has pre-school facilities and an outdoor play is even accessible regardless of the weather. The multi-sensory room is a fabulous resource and the children benefit from spending time in this area, it can aid sensory skills and can be used to relax and calm too.
The outdoor area is amazing, with a very different covered area for all year around use and an outdoor activity room. Outdoors is split into areas to promote different challenges for children from potion making, constructing, tinkering on the piano, wheeled toys to aid spatial awareness, and a natural garden area for investigating and bug hunting.
Staff are all dedicated to ensuring the children have a safe, secure and stimulating environment that meets the children’s own individual needs and promoting independence whilst allowing them to take risks with adult support.
The nursery holds the coveted Millies Mark for excellence in paediatric First Aid (the only nursery in Skelmersdale to hold the award) and the Lancashire step into Quality Award.
Learning journeys for all children are offered both to see the progress their child is making at nursery via photographs, written comments and communication, along with being a beautiful portfolio of memories for the future.
The nursery offers a pick-up and drop-off service for children to local schools, along with holiday care for children up to age eight-years-old, in addition to the option of funded childcare for two-year-olds and funding for th

My daughter started this fantastic nursery at the beginning of November at 8 months old. She was very strange with other people she didn't know but was fine settling in here. All the girls that work here are great and have made you feel so welcome and put my mind at rest. My daughter loves attending nursery and as the weeks have gone on she has started recognising the building and gets excited as she knows where she is going.
I would highly recommend this fabulous nursery to friends and family all the girls do a Fantastic job. Thank You.

My son attends Little Achievers Nursery in the Park 3 mornings a week and he absolutely loves it. He's excited to go and loves the children and staff there. The staff go out of their way to be caring and helpful towards me and my son and always have exciting and educational activities for the children to do. My son's speech and counting skills have come on leaps and bounds. I can't recommend this nursery enough.
We viewed other nurseries in the area and Little Achievers Nursery in the Park really shone above the rest.

I find the nursery very beneficial to my daughter, her speech and attitude have come on amazingly with the help of the staff. She enjoys going to nursery and has settled in very well, I wouldn't want her to go any other nursery.

The nursery helped my daughter with her speech and her eating habits. I always know what they are learning and the staff always update my daughters learning journey. My daughter loves the nursery and that is what's most important to me.

Great nursery, I feel settled knowing my son is in good hands. He enjoys his time there and staff go out their way to let me know if there are any concerns and keep me updated with his progress.
He has come on a great deal since being there.

Overall Experience
Excellent day nursery, my little boy loved it, he often talks about it even though he has started school. He came on a long way with his learning and eating and I really appreciate all the hard work of all the staff.
I would recommend this nursery as one of the best in the area.

My daughter loved coming to holiday club, she was kept entertained all the time with art, games and even trips out to forest school. She loves to play with all the staff who are professional, caring and always there to give a cuddle if needed.
Now looking forward to going again.

My 16 month old baby girl has attended Little Achievers nursery in the Park since January this year and all the staff have been very welcoming and helped her to settle in. My little boy used to attend before going to school and his experience was a great one. Staff are all lovely and take time to tell you how your child has been during the day, what meals they ate and what activities they have been involved in. There's a lovely welcoming atmosphere there. They are very flexible with their sessions and hours, and have links to the children's centre within the premises. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Both my children attended and loved every minute they were there. Staff are helpful, informative and professional. There's always plenty to keep them entertained during the time they are there.
I always recommend this setting. I'll be sad when my youngest leaves this year

Staff are lovely and very caring, I feel my child has developed a lot and he loves every day in the nursery. They are very flexible and will help if we need to swap days for our child as we both work full time. The communication is very good, we are informed every day how our child spend the day.

Without the nursery I wouldn't of been able to continue with my current job. The nursery take and pick up my little boy and he loves the car journey. Using this service also means my little boy still has contact with all the staff and children, meaning holiday club is a familiar environment.

Having been potty training my little one for a while, we have found nursery very supportive and helpful. Particularly the leader of bluebells and my son's key person. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are always there to offer useful advice and guidance.
