Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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. My son settled in and made lots of friends very quickly. The team is absolutely amazing and helped my son hit his milestones along the
way. He feels so comfortable and happy. We could not of chosen a better nursery to send him to. Thankyou to the whole team for all your amazing hard work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery ChorleyThank you for your lovely review. Were so pleased to hear how much your son enjoys Harpers Lane Nature Trails and that hes made such great progress. Our team works hard to create a fun, caring and trustworthy environment, so your kind words mean a lot. Were delighted to be supporting him as he gets ready for big school!

Staff have been very welcoming and my child loves nursery. Nursery has helped him explore his likes and dislikes of food. My child is always learning new things and enjoys playing in different areas.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery ChorleyThank you so much for your lovely review. Were delighted that all three of your children have enjoyed their time at Nature Trail. Hearing that our Chorley team has become like friends and a second family means so much to us.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The management and staff are absolutely fabulous and genuinely care about the children. Moving our daughter to this setting has made a real difference to her confidence, happiness, and development, and to us as parents too. We feel supported and reassured knowing
she's in such a positive, nurturing environment. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A lovely nursery. My child is always very happy to see his friends and the staff. The connections he's formed with some staff members is clear whenever i drop him off or collect him and this always reassures me that he's in a safe and enjoyable place. His skills in all areas have developed massively
since starting and i can tell that this is because the staff care about the development of all children in their care. I will always recommend this nursery to other parents in the area. Thank you nature trail chorley team for everything, you're all amazing!
Ps i think the menu is brilliant!! He eats better than i do!!
Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Nature Trail Nursery ChorleyThank you for recommending us to other families, it truly means the world. And were very glad to hear the menu gets a big thumbs up too well happily take that compliment!

My child first an foremost is floushing in her development in a secure and safe enviroment which I couldn't be more reassured from that when I'm at work she's being looked after and this is down to the staff themselves whom i entrust my child to, they repeatedly go above and beyond in all aspects in
her day to days at the nursery from her care to dietry needs to more special care when needed and I couldn't be more thankful for that and them , she absolutely loves going to nursery as everyday is filled with new wonder and adventure. Any questions or querys are dealt with straight away in open , honest & professional communication and will use any resources available to them to have the most positive outcome.

Amazing nursery, my daughter attended for a few years. She learnt so much and enjoyed it. The staff are lovely and very helpful and I was very reassured when my 9-month-old started this year as I know how amazing the staff all are with the children. I look forward to my new baby starting as well! They
are very caring and nothing is too much, would highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.481)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.481) out of 10 for Nature Trail Nursery Chorley 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.909 for Nature Trail Nursery Chorley is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.909
  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 4.572 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nature Trail Nursery Chorley is based on 11 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.8 = 0.797
  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.
