We've compiled a list of popular questions families ask at nursery visits to help you when deciding which nursery to choose for your child's early years education.
Why choose Partou Brimstage Village Day Nursery & Pre-School on the Wirral?
Situated across two beautiful, converted buildings, Partou Brimstage Village provides high-quality early years care and education to families in Brimstage, Higher Bebington and the surrounding areas.
The Nursery building is a listed converted church, and our Pre-School is just across the road in a character filled converted barn. Having two buildings ensures we can keep our room sizes small and provide a warm, homely environment which our families love.
As we are located in the beautiful village of Brimstage, the outdoors and community are important to us. Both buildings have outdoor areas to ensure children get fresh air and outdoor playtime. Outdoor play is an important part of the early years curriculum and is great for regulating emotions, developing motor skills and helping children to grow with confidence.
We have a lovely team who are continually developing their knowledge through training to ensure an excellent early years’ experience. The Nursery Team work hard to create a ‘home from home’ environment and believe in giving children fun, exciting experiences every day with activities based around their interests.
We have strong community ties and build up great relationships with children and families as we know this helps little ones to thrive. We hold fundraising days for local charities which helps children to build social skills, a sense of community and develop empathy.
We understand that every family’s childcare needs are different so Partou Brimstage Village is proud to now offer school day sessions running 8:30am – 3:30pm; a great option for families looking to align their childcare with the school day.

Funded childcare
Partou Brimstage Village 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 Brimstage Village Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Wirral 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 52 weeks of the year so children accessing year-round childcare at Partou Brimstage Village will receive 10.96/21.92 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.
