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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2023. Open since 2023, with 57 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 Sefton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sefton 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
Leaders have considered carefully what they want children to experience each day at the nursery. They have established simple routines to help build familiarity for the children. For example, when children keenly press the doorbell, staff welcome them warmly. Staff make clear that they have been eagerly awaiting each child's return to the nursery. Children feel noticed and valued by staff which builds their self-confidence.
Leaders want the best for children. They have established a well-thought-out and organised curriculum for each area of learning. Staff help children to learn much new knowledge. Children are prepared well for the next stage of their education.
Staff know the needs of individual children well. They talk with children about how they feel. Staff support children to make friends. Children are happy and feel safe.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve knowledge of how children learn language to further extend their growing vocabulary n strengthen understanding of how to develop children's independence so they become resilient to persist at completing tricky tasks n provide staff with greater support so that they know how to refine the quality of their work.

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.
