I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. The staff are very accommodating and genuinely care about every single child they care for. They keep you updated on your child's learning development and key milestones. My four year old always looks forward to the days when he is in nursery, and I can have
an stress-free day, knowing my child is in good hands.

Chorley Partou nursery is a lovely setting, my little one has been going to the nursery for almost 2 years now and they love coming to nursery.
All the staff are very welcoming, friendly and go above and beyond. The children are always busy having fun, indoors and out. Parents are regularly updated
on their child's day through the helpful app.
The manager Laura is always super helpful when I have any queries and she is very friendly and approachable.
I would 100% recommend this nursery setting!

I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Nature Trail Chorley, my daughter started at 8 months old and she has thrived in the environment with the care of such incredible ladies! The staff go above and beyond every single day to ensure my daughter has the best days and we couldn't be more thankful
for the time and effort all the staff put in to help her grow and achieve!! It really is an amazing nursery that provides the best experience for little ones lucky enough to attend there :)

My LG has been attending since November 2024. I was very apprehensive about her starting nursery as I wasn't sure that anyone could look after her the way me and her dad can. My anxieties were very quickly put to rest when I saw how nurturing they were with the children and how my girl would always
be smiling when I came to pick her up or smiling on photos with all the fun activities and experiences she gets with the staff. I can't thank the staff enough especially Kirsty and Amy for giving my girl the best start in life and helping shape the little star she has become
Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery ChorleyThank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. Were delighted to hear how quickly your little one settled and how reassured youve felt since she joined us. Seeing her smile, thrive, and enjoy all the activities means the world to us.
A special thank you for your lovely words about Kirsty and Amy they will be over the moon to hear the positive impact theyve had. Were so proud to be part of her early journey and to help her shine.

This is a great nursery; the staff are lovely and provide really child-centred care. They have recognised and supported my child's development needs since day 1. The communication is unrivalled and updates on the app are contemporaneous, so I'm always reassured my child is having a good day. The class
sizes are small enough for it to feel personal, and my child also loves the food, which is a bonus!! Would 100% recommended this nursery to other parents!!x

I have worked in Childcare as a room leader and manager of a Playgroup for 27 years so have a good idea of excellent practice. This Nursery is excellent in my opinion.
My granddaughter loves to go to nursery and is supported by both her key worker and the other staff who work in her room.
I can tell
My granddaughter loves to go to nursery and is supported by both her key worker and the other staff who work in her room.
I can tell
through observing my granddaughter the work that is being done everyday to develop her in all areas of learning.
At a young age she is holding her pen correctly, she will play with others, making friends with one particular person. Her counting is developing quickly and she will tidy toys away and sit for snacks . The food provided is both varied and introduces her to new tastes. She is being supported in her potty training and will put on her own hat, gloves and shoes. When mark making she puts meaning to marks and is being to say letters and 'up', 'down' etc. The children play out daily and go for walks.
Another strength is the contact with parents. All in all outstanding.

Absolutely brilliant nursery, always put their best foot forward with my daughter. She loves going to nursery and it's all she talks about! She can be abit shy when she goes in the mornings but they always make her feel comfortable and they let me know once she's settled. Brilliant nursery with the
most caring staff.

I was very sceptical about sending my little one to nursery at 9 months old but laura and the team made us very welcome and gave me and my husband lots of reassurance.

All of the staff at Harpers Lane Nature Trails are fabulous, my son absolutely loves it here and we cannot fault the staff, they are very friendly, playful and most importantly trustworthy. My son is learning lots of new skills to get ready for big school in September and has come on so well since starting
here from another nursery 12 months ago.
My daughter is due to start but has loved her settling in sessions.
He is not too keen on the new food menu, however I am hoping he gets used to it. He does like to try new foods but some of the meals are unusual.

Three of my children have now attended Nature Trail and all of them have loved every minute. It's truly a wonderful nursery with the children's well being and development at the core of everything they do. Staff members have become friends to me and a second family to my children over the years and
I cannot recommend the Chorley team highly enough.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Nature Trail Nursery Chorley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
- The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
- The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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:
- 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.932 for Nature Trail Nursery Chorley is calculated as follows: ( (293 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.932
-
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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nature Trail Nursery Chorley is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
- 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
- 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
- When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
- If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
