A day nursery in Morecambe 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 September 2023. Open since 2012, with 73 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.

What it is like to attend
Children are warmly welcomed by staff as they enter the nursery. They are eager to start their day and excitedly go to hang their coats up before entering their rooms. Staff plan an interesting curriculum that supports all children to practise and develop new skills. Staff in the baby room help younger children to explore and investigate items hidden in trays of dried pasta. Staff in the toddler room help children to build their physical skills through using a range of tools as they explore and knead dough. Children in the pre-school are supported to learn about oral health as they explore different foods and talk about how to brush their teeth.
Activities are carefully planned to support children's developing skills.
Staff have high expectations for all children. They promote positive behaviour and well-being. Children are encouraged to consider the feelings of others and what makes them happy. Routines support children to work together as a group. For example, children listen carefully to staff as they tidy up their room as they prepare for lunch. Staff endeavour to give children a range of opportunities they may not otherwise have access to. For example, children take part in 'bake off' style cooking competitions and learn about special days, such as Remembrance Day.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop ways to consistently extend children's communication and language, including modelling vocabulary correctly and asking questions to extend children's thinking n enhance supervisions and the support given to staff, so that they receive consistent coaching to develop and improve their skills for the benefit of children.

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.
