  • Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-school, Chorley
Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-School is quietly tucked away from the main road yet within easy walking distance of Chorley town centre and the beautiful Astley Park, offering a warm and nurturing environment where babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers are genuinely well known and well cared for.

The curriculum is planned around each child's individual interests and next steps, with staff who hold high expectations and a genuine commitment to helping every child make strong progress. Warm bonds between staff and children mean families drop off each day knowing their little one is in caring, capable hands.

Community is woven into everyday nursery life. Regular walks to Astley Park connect children with the natural world, while the nursery's community gardens give children the chance to grow their own flowers, herbs and vegetables, nurturing curiosity, patience and an early love of the outdoors. Trips into Chorley town centre further develop social skills and an awareness of the wider world.

A weekly sensory dance class every Thursday gives children a dedicated space to move, express themselves and build physical confidence and creativity. Stay and play events bring families into nursery life throughout the year, creating the strong home and nursery partnerships that make a real difference to children's learning and development.

If you are looking for a nursery in Chorley where your child will be truly known and nurtured from their very first day, Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-School is well worth a visit.

Shannen and Courtney are always frendly and welcoming for both kids.
The food is a struggle and the menu.

The best nursery I have experienced for my little one. The staff are kind, caring and considerate. They have learned my child to blossom over the last year and half.
They do different activities like painting, dance, playing in the garden and going out for walks to park and libary. All this is documented
on the app with pictures off your child's day.
We will miss this nursery and staff so much!
Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you so much for your wonderful feedback.

We've had a really positive experience with this nursery. My child is always happy to go in, which says so much about the caring and welcoming environment the staff create. It's clear they are very well looked after, and I feel completely at ease leaving them in such capable hands.
The team always
provides a variety of fun and engaging activities each day, keeping the children busy, stimulated, and excited to learn. It's lovely to see how much effort goes into making each day enjoyable and enriching.
Most importantly, I feel confident that my child is safe and cared for at all times. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to other parents looking for high-quality childcare

Our youngest has been at this setting for 2.5 years and our eldest also attended before he started school.
We chose the nursery for their diverse play opportunities and resources having viewed a few others and we've seen this go from strength to strength. The current staff and management are excellent,
the atmosphere among the staff seems easy and happy, and the way they interact with us is also friendly and approachable.
My kids have both been very happy here and I've definitely noticed how much extra attention is being given to the activities offered and potential for learning through play in the last couple of years. They also get out into the local areas a lot and spend a good amount of time outside. We really have no complaints, the room leaders have now all been there for a few years and you can really tell how much that continuity and leadership brings to the setting, and how invested they are in providing a fun and safe space for the kids.
Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you so much for your lovely feedback.

sure she is fully included in everything without feeling left out.

Park Road have been amazing with our little one. She has settled in so well and staff are great with her. Becca and her team are make you feel so welcome at all times and always have time for any questions that we have. Can only recommend.
The only small downside has been the recent change to hours
from head office. It feels less about supporting families and more about business decisions, which is a bit disappointing.

This is our second experience of Nature Trail, having sent our eldest to the same setting. We couldn't be happier - our daughter settled in very quickly and is always happy running in to see her friends. The staff are great, and actively encourage each child's interest. They regularly go for walks to
the park, and play outside whenever they can, which is something we really appreciate.
Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted to welcome your family back to Nature Trail, and so pleased your daughter settled in quickly. It’s wonderful to hear she enjoys her friends, our team, and all the outdoor adventures. We really appreciate your trust and kind words.

Overall we have been happy with the nursery setting. Our child has been in each room and we cannot fault their development. The staff who work at the nursery, particularly those with longer service, are a credit to the business and clearly care for the children but I do feel the nursery is understaffed
at times.
Communication could be improved in regards to app updates during the day but our child overall appears to be happy and thriving and that is my priority.
Since Partou took the nursery over, the food options have been disappointing. I have been assured that an alternative would be provided should nothing be eaten and I do hope this is the case still.


For several months now there has been a lack of 'out of nursery experiences' such as park visits, out in the community, swimming, bus trips ect. It would be great to see this returned as was a major advantage of the nursery previously.

All of the nursery team cannot do enough for my child. In almost 3 years of attending, my child has never once said they didn't want to go to nursery, and I don't have to worry about whether he's safe or having fun.
My child is thriving and gets to learn about and do things and eat new foods they
won't normally do at home.
My child starts school in 6 months and I'm not worried. Nursery has set them up with good socialising skills, assisted with potty training, basic numeracy and literacy skills, and excellent gross and fine motor skills.
Although the outside space is limited, the location is great meaning they do regular trips to different parks and into town.
I will always be thankful to the staff and this nursery.
Reply from Leah Hannon, Customer Service at Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you so much for your lovely feedback.

My son has been at this nursery since March 2024. Every single step of the way he has had full support and is now thriving in this nursery environment. The staff here are all incredibly committed and have your child's best interest at heart. I couldn't think of a better nursery for my son. The activities
they do with the children are brilliant and teach them so much in fun ways. Routine here is also brilliant and really works for my son. 10/10.

The staff are Nature Trail Park Road are lovely. They take the time to know all of the children really well, putting parents at ease. They arrange regular stay and play events which are really lovely to be part of.
It would be even better if updates on the app were more consistent and photos were
received more frequently.
Long term staff absence and staff changes arent always communicared well which can lead to some anxiety for parents. This could be improved.
Finally, since the new company have taken over, local visits have been less and it would be great if these could increase again.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.612)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.612) out of 10 for Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.662 for Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.662
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Park Road Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 18 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 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
