Why choose Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-School?

Tucked into the village of Brinscall in the heart of Lancashire, Partou Brinscall is a nursery that wears its community roots proudly. Set among local walks, woodland and open green space, it’s a place where children spend plenty of time outdoors, exploring their surroundings and building a real connection with the world around them.

The nursery is organised into four dedicated rooms, each designed around the developmental stage of the children in it: Snails (0–18 months), Frogs (18–24 months), Hedgehogs (24–36 months) and Owls (36–48 months). This means every child socialises and learns with other children at similar early years developmental stage, supported by practitioners who understand their next steps and milestones and create meaningful learning activities to support all children to achieve these.

Families consistently describe the nursery as feeling like a home from home, and it’s easy to see why. Staff take time to get to know both children and parents as this helps children to thrive in their early years education and build confidence at this important stage in their life. Settling in is handled with real care and patience, and families are kept closely involved as their child grows. Parents speak warmly about seeing their children gain confidence and are reassured that children arrive happily at nursery and excited to start the day.

Beyond the nursery garden, children regularly head out into the local area, to the duck pond, the park and the woodland nearby, building independence and curiosity alongside their friendships. All staff hold paediatric first aid training and relevant safeguarding qualifications, so families can feel confident their child is in safe, well-prepared hands.

If you are looking for a warm and friendly home-from-home nursery in Brinscall which supports children’s development through confidence building, outdoor experiences and strong family partnerships – we think you’ll love Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-School!

Funded childcare

Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-School is proud to offer funded childcare places

Funded childcare is a government incentive fulfilled by Local Authorities which aims to provide financial support for eligible families accessing childcare at an OFSTED registered setting. Partou Brinscall Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Lancashire Local Authority to apply childcare funding for eligible families.

Funding typically covers 15 or 30 hours per week for the 38 term weeks of the year across a maximum of 10 hours a day which will be applied in different ways depending how many weeks of the year your child is in childcare:

Children who are in year-round childcare will receive “stretched” funding. This means that their 15/30 hours over 38 weeks will be stretched over 51 weeks of the year so children accessing year-round childcare at Partou Brinscall will receive 11.17/22.35 hours of funded childcare per week.

Children who have term-time only childcare places will receive 15/30 hours funding per week over 38 weeks of the year. Term-time only places are limited and are subject to availability.

Government funding for childcare only applies to the care fee (as described above). Meals & snacks and consumables fees are fully chargeable for all sessions including funded.

Many families are eligible for government funded childcare, see our childcare funding guide for more information.
