Bright Futures (2003) Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Rossendale for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2015, with 71 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 Lancashire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lancashire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Children of all ages have built strong bonds with their key person. They are given care and attention as they arrive at nursery and are supported to settle quickly.
Babies enjoy loving cuddles and positive interactions with the staff. They initiate games as they hide their faces and giggle as the staff say 'boo'. Children are keen to share their achievements with staff and receive an abundance of praise. Children feel safe and secure.
Children develop a sense of awe and wonder of the world around them. Babies gaze at their reflection in mirrors and shake instruments to explore the sounds that they make. Older children jump up and down in excitement as they express their joy at seeing a large cement mixer drive past. They talk about where they would like to build a house for a worm using the sticks that they have collected. Children are developing positive attitudes to learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- embed the implementation of the curriculum so that children make the highest levels of progress n further develop staff's confidence in implementing the nursery's procedures consistently.

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.
