The Towneley Park journey

From little ladybird to butterfly

Every child grows in their own way. Our rooms follow that journey, with spaces, routines and key people that change as your child does.

Meet the Towneley Park friends

Lily, Cody, Bella and Sunny

Each of our rooms has a little friend who grows up alongside the children. Lily the Ladybird looks after our babies, Cody the Caterpillar loves exploring with our toddlers, Bella the Butterfly helps our pre-schoolers get ready to fly, and Sunny the Sunflower is always out in the garden.

Why families choose us

Care that feels like home, learning that feels like play

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage. Every child has a key person who gets to know them and their family, and our practitioners plan around what each child loves and is ready for next.

Run by Helen and Nigel Harrison-Howarth

Helen and Nigel took over Towneley Park in 2016, when it was close to closing, and have grown it into a thriving nursery. Our sister nursery is Tree Tots in Kirkham.
