Childcare in Liverpool

Liverpool has 115 day nurseries, 18 pre-schools, 101 school nursery classes, 32 childminders and 39 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 152 of them and rated 141 Good or better, 17 of them Outstanding. 153 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Of those that publish a price, a full day runs from £17 to £82, typically £55. Across Liverpool there are 30 places per 100 children under five, about the same as England as a whole at 32.

Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Liverpool, divided by the children aged 0 to 4 who live there at the 2021 Census. It compares areas; it is not a count of free places today. It also leaves out the 103 school nursery classes across Liverpool, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

Questions

What people ask about childcare in Liverpool

Answered from the figures on this page, so they stay in step with it.

How much does nursery cost in Liverpool?

Of the 18 full-day rates published by settings in Liverpool, the typical price is £55 a day, ranging from £17 to £82. These are prices the settings publish themselves, not an average of quotes.

Which nurseries in Liverpool take funded hours?

119 of the 305 settings in Liverpool are recorded as taking the government funded hours. Councils do not publish a list of approved providers, so the rest are unknown rather than a no.

Are any nurseries in Liverpool rated Outstanding?

Yes. 17 of the 152 settings Ofsted has inspected in Liverpool hold an Outstanding grade.

Which nurseries in Liverpool take babies?

186 settings in Liverpool are registered to take children under two. Ofsted's register does not say whether a setting runs a baby room or has space in it, so ring before you plan around it.

Is it hard to get a nursery place in Liverpool?

Liverpool has 30 registered childcare places for every 100 children under five, against 32 across England. That is registered capacity rather than free places, so it compares areas rather than telling you what is available this week.
