  • Partou Old School House Day Nursery & Pre-School, Chorley
Partou Old School House Day Nursery & Pre-School is situated in the heart of Chorley with excellent transport links including the M61 and Chorley bus and train stations nearby. It is a nursery that families consistently describe as a genuine home from home.

Rooms are thoughtfully laid out with handpicked resources and a bespoke curriculum tailored to the interests and needs of the children at that time. Staff have a genuine passion for early years education and take time to truly get to know every child, meaning little ones settle quickly and thrive with confidence.

The dining experience is a real highlight. Children can watch meals being freshly prepared each morning, and pre-schoolers serve themselves from the dinner trolley, building independence, self-help skills and confidence in a wonderfully natural way.

Outdoor learning is taken seriously here. The back garden has been transformed into an outdoor classroom offering the richness of indoor learning in the open air, alongside a dedicated physical development area. Two outdoor spaces are made full use of every day, and regular community outings to the local pet shop and the beautiful Astley Park give children meaningful real-world experiences that bring early years learning to life.

If you are looking for a nursery in Chorley where your child will be genuinely known and given the very best start in their early years, Partou Old School House Day Nursery & Pre-School is well worth a visit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Leaving your child with new people is always daunting and from the moment we had a tour round the nursery, we knew that Old School House was a welcoming, supportive and engaging environment. Our twins started at 13 months and their confidence, communication and happiness has gone from strength to strength.


Seeing them thrive in an environment when you are not there, is incredibly important and seeing them run in with such joy is an absolute pleasure. A testament to the support, relationships and learning they receive at the nursery.


Every member of staff is always on hand to answer any questions a parent has, keeping us up to date on all the fun things they get up to, the skills they are developing and other updates related to their care.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Partou Old School House Day Nursery & Pre-SchoolThank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Its lovely to hear how well your twins have settled and how much theyre growing in confidence and happiness. Seeing them run in with such joy means the world to us. We truly appreciate your trust and are always here to support your family every step of the way.

We have worked alongside Old School House since 2021 with both our children, the second is due to leave this July. Every day, we have left them with Zoe, Karen, Jess and the team, knowing that they will be loved and cared for incredibly. Their passion for Early Years and children's development is clear
to see from the second you walk through the door. You are always welcomed with a smile and compassion, safe in the knowledge that your children will be treated in the same way. The outdoor area was updated last year, extending the curriculum beyond the walls too! Children are often taken on walks to the Park or other local places, which is no mean feat! I'm proud to say that my children attend here and it will feel like a genuine family separation when they are both at school in September!
Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Partou Old School House Day Nursery & Pre-SchoolThank you so much for sharing such a touching review. Its been a privilege to work alongside your family since 2021, and were incredibly grateful for the trust youve placed in Zoe, Karen, Jess and the whole team. Knowing that your children have felt loved, cared for, and supported every day truly means the world to us.
Were so pleased youve felt the passion and dedication to Early Years the moment you walk through the door, and that the outdoor updates and local walks have enriched your childrens experiences. Hearing that youre proud to have your children attend Old School House is the highest compliment we could receive.
It will be a bittersweet moment when your youngest moves on in July we will miss you all dearly. Thank you again for being such a wonderful part of our community.

Old School house has been amazing for my child. When he first came to the nursery he couldn't speak, within a month he was putting sentences together. Within a year he was more advanced than I thought he could be at the age of 2. Everyone at the nursery has learnt about him and care for him the way
I would at home. The teachers there are amazing with my boy, they take the time to understand what he needs on a daily basis and ALWAYS give me feedback everyday. I couldnt recommend a better nursery to send your child to!

Both of my children have attended Old School House, with my eldest now in her first year of school and my youngest in Hedgehog class. Both children love going to nursery and the staff should take every credit for that. They always go the extra mile to bond with the children and come up with new, creative
ideas for them to get stuck into.

The staff at Old School House make the nursery feel home from home. My daughter settled in pretty much on the first session thanks to the brilliant team that they have. Always a positive greeting in the morning : ) Play, learning and care is evident from the development that I have seen within my daughter.
Nothing is a problem whether it's dietary requirements, adjustments or clarification on something. I definitely made the right decision as I couldn't imagine my daughter anywhere else now. Snails room has been nothing short of wonderful. Huge thanks to you all at OSH in particular to Management, snails team and the lovely chef keeping our little loved ones nourished. The app is fab and I love getting the updates and photos

Were so pleased youre seeing this reflected in her development, and were glad youre enjoying the updates on the app. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing OSH we truly appreciate it.

My son has been coming to this nursery since he was a baby hes now 2 and is thriving! All the staff have contributed to his care and they all have so much love for him. He absolutely loves coming and has made lots of friends with both his peers and staff. I could never imagine my son going anywhere
else, and will be gutted when its time for him to leave for school. They offer so much support and all staff are welcoming and approachable and I get great handovers. I never have to worry about him going in nursery he runs in every day with a smile on his face. I am so grateful for every team member that have contributed to his care and guidance over the last 2 years! They have done an amazing job of fundraising and between them all doing the outside space up so he can explore the garden. Thank you all so much

The staff at Nature Trail Old School House made my husband and I feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Zoe, the manager, was kind, friendly, informative and genuinely reassuring. Every member of staff we met as we walked around were warm and approachable, and the children all seemed happy, settled
and thriving.


Our son started at 11 months old and his confidence has grown so much. I was incredibly nervous at first and rang every day for the first few weeks, but the staff were always patient, understanding and quick to reassure me.


Now he absolutely loves nursery, runs in smiling and has made so many friends. The staff care for him like their own, and they all know every child's name and what they like. I would choose Old School House again without hesitation and can't recommend them highly enough.

Our son has been coming to this nursery since he was one. Zoe was great setting up settling in sessions and is always present at nursery, on emails or on the phone if you need anything. Our son has been allocated a key worker in each room - all the staff are super friendly. His current key worker is
Melissa, she is kind and attentive and always gives us a run through of our son's day and lets us know if he needs anything. The nursery do a mixture of activities for the children; lots of outdoor play and they have a dance/music class on in the week. Our son's confidence has grown massively since him joining, and it's nice to know that he's being well looked after and having fun. The food menu has recently changed and offers a good variety of options. Thank you Team Old School House!

Our son has been attending this nursery since he was just 6 months old, and now at 22 months, we couldn't be more grateful for the care and support he's received throughout his time there. Watching him grow into a confident, curious, and happy little boy has been such a joy, and the nursery team has
played a huge part in that journey.
The staff are consistently warm, patient, and genuinely invested in his wellbeing.
He goes in smiling each morning, which tells us everything about how safe and loved he feels.
A special mention has to go to Zoe in the baby room, who has been such a steady, caring presence at the very beginning in the baby room. Her kindness and calm approach made those early months so much easier for us as new parents, we knew he was in good hands! It's the people which make this nursery what it is!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at Old School House for making Mila's first week such a positive experience.


As a parent, it's always a big step leaving your child somewhere new, but from day one I felt reassured by how kind, patient, and attentive the staff have been. Mila has

settled in far better than I could have hoped, and it's clear she feels safe, happy, and cared for.


I've been really impressed by the communication, the warm welcome each morning, and the genuine care shown to all the children. It means so much to see Mila coming home happy and excited after her days with you. Special thank you to Lily who's her key person, she's been amazing.


Thank you again for such a wonderful start to her nursery journey. We're so grateful to have found such a lovely, supportive environment for her. Would highly recommend

Our son really enjoys Old School House. The staff are extremely welcoming and are always willing to go the extra mile to make him happy. We are kept up to date with what he gets up to and they do lots of different activities throughout the week. The food is great and they were extremely helpful with
dairy/milk allergies. They also have a really good outside area with lots of areas to play (and keep safe from the sun!). I would recommend Old School House to friends and family.

My daughter has attended this nursery since being 5 months old - she is now in the preschool room - and the staff throughout her time there have been amazing. They have supported us with all manner of things including while we were weaning, potty training, and have been great at the day to day learning.
They actively ask for participation from parents and will base activities around each child's favourite things - my daughter's favourite being her 'We're going on a bear hunt' week!
The nursery have a fantastic back garden which includes a climbing frame, swings, slide and their very own veg garden - this is also fantastic.
There are always events on that the children are encouraged to participate in too such as visits out to local parks and shops, and themed days in nursery for different things like Christmas, Easter and other holidays!
Overall, we could not have asked for better!

Both of my children have attended this nursery-one who has now moved on to school and one who is still there-and we honestly couldn't be happier with the care they've received. Zoe and her team are absolutely fantastic. They always put the children first, really listen to parents, and create a warm,
caring environment where the little ones feel safe and happy.


The nursery has great facilities and a beautiful garden, which the children absolutely love during the summer months. The nursery do lots of events that make the place feel special, like stay-and-play sessions, Christmas fair, parent evenings, and other opportunities to get involved and feel connected.


Overall, it's a nurturing, welcoming nursery with staff who genuinely care. I'm so grateful for everything they've done for both of my kids.
