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 separate easily from parents due to the warm welcome they receive. They quickly engage in the activities and opportunities on offer and play happily with their friends. Older children enjoy making soup in the home corner. They talk about the ingredients as they chop real vegetables and put them into the pan.
Interactions between staff and children are sensitive and respectful, and staff are mindful of children's individual needs and personalities. Staff engage children in learning and extend their play through high-quality interactions and engaging questions. They allow children time to answer questions, model effective use of language and introduce new words. This helps children to learn the art of conversation, which also enhances their growing vocabulary.
The setting has high expectations for children's behaviour. Children benefit from lots of praise that reinforces their positive behaviour and attitude to 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.
