Services
Welcome to Ashbridge, a thriving school and group of nurseries based in and around Preston, Lancashire. With four unique nurseries and an outstanding independent primary school, Ashbridge provides the very best in early years and primary education.

Our goal is to use our wealth of knowledge and experience to provide top-quality and nurturing early years and primary education, with a strong focus on developing the whole child, achieving excellent academic results and ensuring children leave us as confident and well-rounded individuals.
There are many ways in which a school is judged, be it data from assessment tests, the facilities it offers, the quality of the curriculum and its teaching staff or even the number of car parking spaces available for parents; in all of these we excel! But I think it should be judged by its pupils, the children, who are a reflection not only of their own families but also of the experiences they have enjoyed and learned from at school.

We have four unique nurseries, each offering a holistic approach to childcare in the Preston area. At Ashbridge, we're committed to giving your child the best start in life.

Our daughter has really grown in self confidence since starting at Ashbridge. She has attended since she was 1 and loves all the outside space, especially forest school, the animals and all the activities she gets to do. The 3 hot meals are a big plus and the opening hours are great for work. The staff are really friendly and work with us to help her become more independent. Most importantly she loves being at nursery.

My son started with Ashbridge nursery when he was 9 months old, he is now 3, nearly 4 years old and he attends Ashbridge pre school. Throughout his time at Ashbridge I have never had any issues with the care of my son, he is well bonded with all the staff and he's always taking part in various classes and activities. The staff always keep me updated on his progress, and my son is very happy there.

My son has really settled into Cygnets. Although he sometimes still gets upset when being left, I love seeing the moments published on ParentZone! I also like the fact that assessments can be viewed with ease and all questions are answered :) Great nursery!

Our son has been attending the nursery since November 2020 and we really feel he has come one learning new skills and becoming more independent. After being in lockdown most of his life we were really nervous about him starting nursery however everyone has been so lovely. Staff have given him lots of time to help him settle in, we love seeing the activities he’s been doing while in nursery. We are also really pleased with the amount of outdoor activities he gets. We are very glad we chose Ashbridge and the staff we have met are a credit to early years education.

My daughter has attended Ashbridge Pre-school since September 2020 and she loves it. The team there are all so welcoming, friendly and really know and understand my daughter. She has a great relationship with all the staff there and it’s a pleasure to see. I absolutely love getting updates of my daughter’s activities on the app. It really brightens my days to see pictures of her learning and playing and trying new things. The descriptions are always really detailed and tell me exactly what she has been doing. My favourite part is where they include little quotations of what she has said.

Although I work here, so this review may be seen as biased, I originally came to know this company as a parent when my eldest child started his Early Years journey as a 9 month old baby. As a parent both of my children have enjoyed a very nurturing and child-led experience at this beautiful setting. The practitioners are caring, knowledgeable and get to know the family as well as the child. The communication between home and nursery is exceptional and the teams always go above and beyond. My youngest is currently in the pre school setting and is thoroughly enjoying a well rounded experience including
