GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Liverpool for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 April 2024. Open since 2007, with 65 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
Respectful relationships between staff, children and their families have been established at this inclusive setting. Staff use the expertise of families to embrace children's cultures and traditions and celebrate these within their curriculum.
Children learn what makes them unique as they spend time looking at their family photos and discussing these together. Staff support children to have a positive approach to diversity and help them to feel that they belong and are represented in the nursery. Staff support children to play cooperatively as they teach them to take turns and value each other's opinions. There is a sense of fun as children excitedly take part in many role-play experiences together. As children build towers together, they discuss wearing helmets to allow them to build safely. Children behave well and are very welcoming of each other in their play.
Leaders create a curriculum that is ambitious and gives children a wide range of rich experiences. They have gathered the expertise of outside professionals to ensure that the curriculum is bespoke to the needs of the children. Leaders have identified what children need to know and what they want them to experience by the time they leave the setting. Overall, staff implement the curriculum well. Staff demonstrate exceptional skill when using their interactions to extend children's learning during play. Staff introduce new language and ask questions that encourage children to think and recall previous learning. Children make strong progress in their development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to implement the intended curriculum consistently, including structured times, to help children to remain engaged in purposeful learning.

Still missing for Fazakerley Children's Centre

- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
