A day nursery in Burnley 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Good by Ofsted in September 2024. Open since 2004, with 37 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 Lancashire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lancashire 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 receive a warm welcome from friendly staff as they arrive at the nursery.
Close bonds are evident and lots of giggling can be heard throughout the day. Staff encourage children to notice what is unique about themselves. They plan activities in the local community to provide children with an understanding of the world in which they live. Children demonstrate high levels of confidence and self-esteem in the care of the staff.
Children show consideration for each other. They play cooperatively and take on board each other's ideas. Babies enjoy exploring activities together and lots of smiles can be seen. Staff have established consistent routines and are skilled at supporting children to follow these. For example, staff use tidy up time as an opportunity to support children to sort resources into the right places. They discuss caring for resources and the importance of helping each other. Children thoroughly enjoy helping the staff and show great care and respect for each other and the resources.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- embed procedures for coaching and mentoring of staff practice to further support the consistent implementation of the curriculum n refine the planning of activities so there is a sharper focus on the intentions for children's 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.
