GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Warrington for children from birth to 8+, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2025. Open since 2024, with 51 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 Warrington
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warrington 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 into this caring and nurturing environment. Staff take the time to get to know the children and plan a range of activities that actively engage their interests. Staff weave learning opportunities into everyday activities, such as talking about 'full' and 'empty' when playing in the sand. These engaging activities help children to develop positive attitudes to learning. Staff gather information from parents about the children's interests and plan specific activities for when new children arrive. This successfully smooths their transition into the setting. Children thoroughly enjoy spending time with their friends. They work together to build tall towers with logs and clap their hands in delight when the towers topple over.
Staff are positive role models and have realistic expectations for children's behaviour. For example, staff gently remind children why they should share their resources with their friends. This skilfully averts an escalation in unwanted behaviour. Leaders and staff provide an inclusive environment where each child's uniqueness is acknowledged and celebrated. For example, children learn about each other's cultures and beliefs as they celebrate special events throughout the year.
Staff place great emphasis on helping children to be as independent as possible.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the curriculum so that it is consistently planned and sequenced to build on what children know and can do n help staff to pitch activities at just the right level so that all children get the most from the intended learning.

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.
