A day nursery in Vauxhall for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in October 2022. Open since 2015, with 60 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 truly receive an incredible start to their early education at this nursery.
The unwavering dedication from leaders and staff ensures children are always at the very heart of everything they do. Children's behaviour is impeccable. Babies patiently line up to take their turn using the slide. They follow instructions, such as no climbing up the slide, to help keep themselves and others safe. Older children instinctively share and take turns with their friends without any adult support. They negotiate who has the most play dough, and who needs some more to make it fair.
Children remember the well-embedded rules and boundaries and remind each other of their importance.

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.
