My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 12 months old. We have taken time away from the nursery due to work commitments and always been welcomed back. My daughter loves her key worker and has done in each room she has been in. The nursery has always been welcoming and worked around
changes in schedules over the years. You can see the staff really care about the children.

My Little boy has attended here for the last 9 months and has come on leaps and bounds with the help of the staff. He is happy and content when he is there and has formed such lovely bonds with them. Knowing he is happy here puts my mind totally at ease and I couldn't ask for more.

We have Twins at The Railway currently + genuinely they absolutely love going. I really feel like the staff all have time for the Twins and are always friendly on drop off and pick up. They are so settled at The Railway and I wouldn't move them. They walk in and don't look back and have real bonds with
the staff and it's lovely to see. Thank you Railway :) xx

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The care, attention and nurturing environment they receive every day is truly wonderful. The staff are kind, patient and genuinely invested in each child's development and happiness.


A special thank you to Kat, who has been incredible in supporting our younger

child. Her kindness, understanding and encouragement have made such a positive difference. She goes above and beyond to ensure our child feels safe, confident and included and we are so grateful for the care she provides.


It gives us such peace of mind knowing our children are in such capable and caring hands. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and welcoming environment for their little ones.

Nature Trail at the Railway, I can't thank all the staff enough. I'll be eternally grateful for all your help and support over these last 3 years. My daughter is thriving and is ready to go onto her next journey into reception at primary school all thanks to these wonderful people. We absolutely love
this place and can't recommend it enough and it will be a very sad day on my daughter's last day. We both love this place!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl loves nursery, she smiles walking to the door and she's smiling when we collect her.
They have been amazing supporting her with walking, talking and now dancing!
They treat her like a member of the family and care so much about her and her development and experiences.
They encourage
playing outside, walks, visiting places in the community, messy plan and creativity.
They are honestly amazing!
When you visit it will be noisy, but focus on every child and you will notice that they will be playing, talking, laughing, listening, reading and enjoying themselves!

My little boy has been at Nature Trail since 10 months old, he is coming up to 4 and a half and is sadly leaving Nature Trail soon ready to start primary school in September. He has loved his time at Nature Trail, we have seen him grow in his abilities and his personality and a lot of it is down to
the amazing care that the staff at Nature Trail Railway give. We will truly miss them. The indoor and outdoor space is great, they are out in the fresh air at any given opportunity!

Our 2 boys have attended Nature Trail at The Railway for the last 3 years and we can not praise the manager and the staff enough. The support they have provided our 2 boys through a difficult period in their little lives has been nothing short of overwhelming. The care, compassion and dedication we
have received has been truly amazing and we can not recommend this nursery enough! We will miss the team at the Railway!

5 star nursery! Both my girls attend now and have done from being babies, I cant fault the place. Staff are fun, smiley, loving and really get to know each individual little personality like a family member. They are exceptional with communication with myself. The setting is home from home which is
comforting for the children, and the nursery focuses on a lot of outdoor play and activities which I love for my kids!

If you are looking for an outstanding nursery to send your child to look no further! Nature Trail (Railway Euxton) is the most wonderful, caring, safe place for your child.
The staff are always so supportive, friendly and look after your child so well.
I couldn't be happier with the progress my daughter
has achieved since starting at nursery, she has grown in confidence and learnt so much and this is down to all the wonderful activities that they provide.
They are also very supportive when it comes to you as a parent and the many challenges you have raising a small child.
I will be very sad to see my daughter leave nursery, but also know that nursery have given her the tools to deal with school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my boys have attended The Railway. I looked around all the local nurseries but from the moment I spoke to Jess about the boys and what the nursery could offer I knew it was the perfect place for an outdoor loving 2-year-old with additional needs.
That was 3 years ago and my youngest now leaves
in August to start school.
I can't praise the team enough, both my boys have flourished and most of all been extremely happy and supported. The manager and staff have been the boys' key workers and heavily involved but the boys know and love all the staff.

Great staff and a beautiful setting. Staff are so caring and helpful and always put the children's needs first. My children love attending both the nursery and after-school club there too!
They keep you updated on a daily basis with all you need to know about your child's progress. I wouldn't have
my children anywhere else!

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 6 months old and is due to leave this year to start school in September, in each stage of her journey every member of staff has been amazing from managers to the trainers, they have treated my daughter like their own and cared for her with pure-hearted
care and love! They have helped us with things we have struggled with and asked regularly about helping us with challenges at home! You can tell it's a brilliant place to work everyone is so happy and if had any more children in the future I would send them here without a thought! Thank you Nature Trail at the railway for everything.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Nature Trail Nursery Railway is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.951 for Nature Trail Nursery Railway is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.951
  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 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nature Trail Nursery Railway is based on 17 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
