The Counting House Nursery in Birstall – Quality Childcare You Can Trust

Our Birstall nursery, located on Smithies Moor Lane, was the very first in our group when we took ownership in 2006. Since then, it has flourished into a thriving, well-loved day nursery in Birstall, where children from 12 weeks to 5 years are cared for in a safe, stimulating, and family-focused environment.

A Warm and Welcoming Nursery in Birstall

Registered for up to 51 children, The Counting House Birstall is set in a beautifully converted Zion Chapel building, spread across two spacious floors. In addition we are delighted to our wonderful, detachment Baby Room provision set in the grounds of the nursery.

  • Ground Floor: Entirely dedicated to our Over 3’s Rooms, with an abundance of space and direct access to our secure outdoor garden and play area.
  • First Floor: A bright and airy Toddler Room, designed to provide comfort, care, and stimulation forr our children aed 2 years and upwards.
  • Baby Room (Detached building) – A comfortable, welcoming and engaging space to meet the needs of our youngest children.

Our nursery in Birstall is filled with high-quality resources, carefully organised so children can explore freely, build independence, and develop confidence through play.

Outdoor Learning and Adventures

We believe outdoor play is a vital part of early years education. At The Counting House Nursery Birstall, children enjoy a large, secure garden with plenty of opportunities to learn and explore, including:

  • A two-storey Wendy House
  • Purpose-built bike and trike tracks
  • A fun Outdoor Mud Kitchen
  • Space for digging, planting, and discovering nature

Come rain or shine, our outdoor area is designed to inspire imagination and adventure for every child.

What Parents and OFSTED Say

OFSTED:
“Staff are very attentive and children form warm, trusting relationships with them. This promotes children’s emotional well-being and they demonstrate high levels of confidence and self-esteem. All groups of children make good progress during their time in the nursery and are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including starting school.”

Parent Feedback:
“Our little girl loves coming here. She gets so excited when she sees me get her bag out on nursery days. I never feel worried leaving her because I know she’s in good hands and will have a fun-filled day!”
