Bluebells Nursery Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Liverpool for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2022. Open since 2015, with 30 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
Children arrive at the setting happily and separate from their carers with ease.
They build close bonds with their dedicated key person and other staff. This enables children to feel safe, happy and enjoy the time they spend at the nursery.
Children are highly motivated and thoroughly enjoy their play and learning. Their behaviour and attitudes to learning are excellent. Staff provide challenging activities that children eagerly take part in. For example, pre-school children successfully have a go at piecing together a train track. Through talking to each other and turn taking skills, children achieve what they set out to do. Children benefit from a range of opportunities to develop their physical skills. They have access to a large outdoor play area, which can be arranged to support the older and younger children. Children enjoy exploring the garden looking for different insects. They use binoculars to help them on their bug hunt. This helps to develop their understanding of the wider world and their awareness of living things.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support all staff to fully understand the curriculum so that they consistently recognise the learning intentions of activities n review the organisation of daily routines to ensure that the length of time children spend waiting does not have a negative impact on learning and development.

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.
