A day nursery in Liverpool for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2022. Open since 2018, with 78 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Liverpool
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Liverpool from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
The dedicated leadership team have worked hard with the staff to address weaknesses raised at the previous inspection. As a result, the provision is much improved. Children arrive at the safe and stimulating setting full of smiles. They gleefully greet staff at the door and confidently wave goodbye to their parents.
Children understand what it expected of them. For example, they take off their own coats and hats and hang these up on their own coat peg. Children excitedly enter their dedicated rooms, immediately find their friends and settle to play.
Babies love to snuggle into their key person and enjoy one-to-one time with the staff. Toddlers and pre-school children demonstrate high levels of self-confidence and self-esteem. For example, they introduce themselves to visitors and are interested and inquisitive about why they are at the setting.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen current arrangements for staff supervision and coaching to further support staff to develop their quality of education practice to the highest levels n review how some routine times of the day are carried out so that children have even more opportunities to build on their existing independence and self-help skills.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
