Funded hours
All 3 and 4-year-olds in England already get 15 hours a week of free early education. If their parents are living and working in England, 3 and 4-year-olds may be entitled to 30 hours free childcare.
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 are happy and settled at this bright and welcoming nursery. They develop close attachments with staff, who help children to feel safe and emotionally secure.
Staff have high expectations for children's progress and plan a broad curriculum that follows their interests. Children display positive attitudes to learning and behave very well.
Children relish their time in the outdoor environment and play confidently and happily together. Children squeal with excitement as staff kick balls high into the air, and they become out of breath racing to see where they land. Children learn to carefully negotiate obstacles, showing consideration for where their friends are playing. Staff teach children new skills, such as skipping, building their confidence and resilience, and giving them a sense of achievement when they succeed.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the effectiveness of supervision for leaders to ensure that those with oversight fully understand how additional funding has been utilised and the impact it has on children n continue to develop less-experienced staff's knowledge of how to implement the curriculum, so that children are supported to explore different play resources and challenged to find things out for themselves.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
