GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Liskeard for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2023. Open since 2015, with 42 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 Cornwall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cornwall 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 happily find their friends and begin to play as soon as they arrive at the nursery. Parents comment on how much their children love coming each day.
Children take part in a wide variety of activities as part of an interesting curriculum.
They learn nursery rhymes and dance as they sing. Children develop a love of books and are encouraged to be creative by skilled staff who know them well. Staff teach mathematical development to children particularly well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider the organisation of meal and snack times to ensure children are not waiting for too long n improve staff training to consistently support children to become even more independent as they get older.

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.
