Woodland Adventure Nursery in Astley, where children spend time playing in the forest and getting up close to local nature and wildlife, has been lamented with praise by the watchdog. Inspectors remarked on how ‘babies gaze dotingly at staff’ and ‘children squeal with delight as they run up and down slopes in the forest’.
The Astley Hall Drive site operates out of the Grade II* listed building known as Dam House on the edge of the Wigan borough, which backs onto a mass of greenery where children explore, climb and play.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Singer-songwriter Brandy Clark has enjoyed triumphs recently on two fronts. Ten years of work on the score for her first Broadway musical, “Shucked,” paid off with a Tony nomination and a Drama Desk Award win for her and score co-writer Shane McAnally. And the Nashville resident’s self-titled fourth album, which found her friend Brandi Carlile moving into the producer’s chair, got the kind of great reviews that augur for more Grammy nominations (on top of the 10 nods she’s already picked up over the years). While she was making one of her many visits to New York, Variety caught up with her for a Facetime feature to discuss both her new Warner Records album, one of the year’s best, and the hit musical, which has a cast album of its own. The joint timing is coincidental, of course (“Shucked” was originally tagged for a 2020 opening, with an out-of-town run in D.C. that was just about to begin when the pandemic kicked in). That she gets to talk about two home runs at once makes her career seem far from anything that ends in “-ucked,” unless lucked applies.
