  • Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-school, Chorley
Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-School is nestled in the village of Brinscall, surrounded by woodland, green space and local walks that make the outdoors a natural extension of everyday nursery life. It is a setting with a strong sense of place and community that families feel from the very first visit.

One of the nursery's distinctive features is how rooms are structured. Rather than grouping children by broad age bands, each of the four rooms caters for a specific developmental window: Snails (0 to 18 months), Frogs (18 to 24 months), Hedgehogs (24 to 36 months) and Owls (36 to 48 months). Practitioners in each room have a deep understanding of that particular stage, allowing them to plan activities that are genuinely well matched to where each child is and where they are headed next.

The atmosphere is relaxed, unhurried and genuinely caring. Settling in is taken seriously, with staff investing time in getting to know families individually so that children arrive each morning confident and ready to engage. Parents regularly comment on the visible progress their children make and how happy they are in the nursery environment.

Children also venture beyond the garden regularly, heading to the nearby duck pond, park and woodland to build independence and a curiosity about the world around them. All staff hold paediatric first aid and safeguarding qualifications.

If you are looking for a nurturing village nursery in Lancashire with a thoughtful approach to early years development and strong community ties, Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-School is well worth a visit.

My child loves attending Brinscall Nature Trail Nursery. Since he has started here, he's come on leaps and bounds.
The staff are lovely and are very keen to work alongside parents to get the best start for your child.
They do many wonderful activities with the children and often spend time outside
including trips to the local duck pond and park, as well as activities in their own garden.
This nursery provides some wonderful healthy food options for the children.
It's an all-round wonderful nursery.

I have been really happy with every part of Nature Trail Brinscall. The staff are caring and provide fantastic support for my child. The homemade food is fantastic and I love there is always fruit and water on display and available for my child. The regular outdoor play and outings are great and he
loves the messy play that is often done with the children. I would recommend Nature Trail to any parent.

We were nervous to send our daughter to nursery at first, she got upset when we left her. But the staff at Nature Trail Brinscall helped us so much with their reassurance and kindness. She settled in quickly and now loves going to nursery!
The staff are so thoughtful, and really take the time to get
to know both parents and children. It has been so lovely to see how much our daughter has gained confidence and developed since she has been there.

Our child has been at Nature Trail in Brinscall since she was 7 months old and we have always felt it's been a safe and happy place for her. The team always keep us well informed and have adapted to our daughter's needs as she's developed. The rooms and outdoor spaces are kept clean and full of interesting
things for the children to play with. Our daughter has thrived at Nature Trail and loves going to nursery to see her friends, key worker and other staff.

My child really enjoys going into this nursery which is such a nice thing to see and is a reflection on all the wonderful staff there. They do so many different activities and are often taking the children into the woods and to the park. My child has come along so much since being at the nursery and
I know they are being looked after really well.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.967) out of 10 for Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.867 for Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.867
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 number of registered child places is 14. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
