16 March 2026
My son has now been attending the baby room for six months. I was very nervous about returning to work and leaving him at first, as I wasn't sure how he would react. However, from day one he settled in perfectly and now absolutely loves his days at nursery.
This is largely thanks to the amazing
staff, who have taken the time to listen to what works well for him and have incorporated this into his daily routine. He has built such lovely relationships with the team, especially his key worker, who always gives us a wonderful update at the end of the day, as well as a weekly post on the app about what he has been getting up to.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Our child loves going to nursery and has positive interactions with all the staff. She talks about all the activites and overall we have been very impressed with the standard of care.

Partous Whalley Meadows Nursery have been amazing with our little boy. The staff are patient and kind, they ensured that he received plenty of support during the settling-in period and have built fantastic relationships with him. My little boy loves his key worker, who sends lots of lovely updates
through the app, and also enjoys spending time with the other staff too. I am so glad that I chose this nursery for my 2-year-old and know that he is in good hands.

We want to thank you all so much for taking care of Felix. From this time last year going above and beyond when he had his NG tube, to now. He thrives at nursery and looks forward to seeing you all every time he comes. It makes us so happy knowing what an amazing job you all do with him!

Staff and manager is so friendly and accommodating. Really good with my son. They keep us updated throughout the day of his activities and food eaten.
Really easy to chat with and feel safe leaving my son with them. Highly recommend

Whalley Meadows has been the perfect nursery for our little boy. Very accommodating and always happy to help, our child always comes in with a huge smile.

Our two girls joined the nursery in April of this year and since then we have found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating.
Both of our girls love going to nursery. Our pre-schooler loves her visits to Forest School and trips to the care home and swimming.
The staff are friendly and treat
the girls like their own.
Thank you to Denise and all the staff for the care our girls receive.

A fantastic nursery with dedicated and enthusiastic staff who make the effort to get to know the whole family. From the very first settling in sessions our daughter has thrived and we have been able to leave her confident in the knowledge that she is incredibly well cared for. Our daughter looks
forward to go going to nursery and comes home with stories about the activities she has done that day particularly forest school and songs. We especially note the high standards that staff have for the children which is evident through the daily routines and polite manners that all children display in the nursery. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to others.

We have two children who attend Partou Whalley Meadows and only have positive things to say. All of the staff are wonderful and have made a real effort to get to know our children. They've been so supportive of our eldest when their sibling came along and made such an effort to help them feel ready
for becoming a sibling. My eldest also had some medical needs when they started, including a food allergy and we couldn't have been happier with how well prepared the staff were. Communication is great via the app and we're thrilled with the progress our children have made. The forest school facilities are fab and have really helped our eldest grow in confidence. Finally both of ours eat incredibly well at nursery and both love the menu available.

We are so pleased with Whalley Meadows. All of the staff are fantastic and our daughter is thriving here. She loves it and is very happy which was our main priority when looking for a suitable nursery. The daily updates on the app are fantastic, we are always kept in the loop. We have full trust in
the staff with our little girl and would recommend the nursery to anyone. Thank you Whalley Meadows.

Our daughter loves going to nursery. She is currently in the baby room and really enjoys it. The staff communicate with us really well. They are able to identify her needs and know her likes and dislikes. The app is incredibly useful as staff keep us up to date throughout the day with comments and
pictures. They show interest in what she does when she is not in nursery too, which is really lovely. Her key person is very supportive and is very knowledgeable about what our daughter can achieve and provides us with next steps to drive her development forward.
25 March 2025
Both my children have attended Whalley Meadows nursery and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others, for many reasons but especially these:
- The staff have made a special effort to understand my children as individuals and provide activities that capture their interest and support their
development.
- My children's key workers have always been very approachable and keen to know about our approaches to potty training, speech & language development, sleep schedules etc so that they can continue to support our children whilst they are at nursery.
- The food! My children love the meals and as their parent I am so happy to read about all the varied and healthy foods they eat. I haven't seen or heard of a better nursery menu.
- The children spend plenty of time outdoors, including in forest school.
- Most importantly - my children have been happy children at nursery, full of stories of their day, playing & having lots of fun!

I can not recommend Partou Whalley Meadows enough! I was so sad to see my daughter leave pre-school in July to go off to school. Her experience was nothing short of excellent. The staff were nurturing, supportive and communicative. I was always well informed of her day and she always came out
smiling. The environment in which she got to play and explore was brilliant, ranging from a large indoor and outdoor space to a separate forest school that they'd access by minibus. There were an array of trips on offer as well which she always loved. I couldn't have asked for a better set up for school. Luckily I am still connected to the nursery as my son has moved through baby room to toddler room and I can't wait to watch him grow and learn in the next couple of years before school. He absolutely loves his time at the nursery every week, having made a lovely group of friends and solid relationships with the staff. Keep doing what you're doing Partou Whalley Meadows because we love it!

Thank you so much to all the team at Whalley Meadows for the care and support you have given to my son over the last 4 years. We will be forever grateful for everything you have done to help him grow, build friendships and make lasting memories. All the staff are amazing, and so lovely and caring!
My son really enjoyed the meals provided and he loved his experience at forest school too. I highly recommend this nursery to everyone looking for child care.

Words cannot really express how grateful we are for such first-class care of our little girl over the years. From starting in the baby room right up to pre-school, she has had wonderful experiences and so many memories.
24 June 2024
My children have come on leaps and bounds since being at Partou Whalley Meadows Nursery, they absolutely love it and the staff are so helpful and go above and beyond to help whenever there is anything that I may need assistance with.
15 April 2024
Not a very good experience. My son is special needs and they expected him to fit in like a typical child. When he didn't they made him the problem and reduced his hours. Lots of negative feedback about my son everyday. Never anything positive. This nursery almost lost my confidence in all nurseries.
Thankfully my son is happy at another setting now.

Fantastic nursery. My SEN child attends and they do everything possible to help and support her. All staff are approachable, kind, caring and very professional. They have been flexible with my child and do not push anything onto her. They do their utmost to make adjustments for my child to make her
develop as well as possible. They include you in everything and keep you updated too. Clean classrooms.
16 September 2023
I could not be more pleased with the experience my little one has had at Whalley Meadows, so far. The settling in sessions have been fantastic and the wonderful practitioners in the Baby Room have done everything they can to ensure he is ready to start and feels comfortable and happy within their
space. I am regularly updated during handover and through the Learning App and my little boy loves going. I am so excited for the start of his learning journey at Whalley Meadows and love that we have worked together to ensure that he is ready.

My grandson was a very nervous little boy when he first started at Whalley Meadows. The care and love he's been given have helped him grow into the funny, cheeky little man he's become. He loves coming to nursery and loves the staff too.
He loves going to forest school. Thank you all for helping
him grow in confidence.
