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

What it is like to attend
Children beam as staff warmly welcome them into this vibrant setting. Staff build strong bonds with all children and know them exceptionally well. Children quickly settle and show high levels of self-esteem. Staff have high expectations for all children, and as a result, children are highly engaged and show positive attitudes to learning. For example, older children negotiate with each other as they use large blocks to build a pirate ship. Younger children fill jugs and lift them up high in order to pour the water down the tubes. Staff support children to achieve their goals while giving them the time to learn independently.
Children's behaviour at the setting is exemplary. Staff recognise that children need to express their emotions and support them to acknowledge their feelings. For example, when children have minor tumbles, staff show real empathy and skilfully use language to recognise they are upset. Each room has a unique cosy area where children can take time to relax in a calm space. Staff support children excellently to recognise their feelings, and as a result, children are skilled at selfregulating their emotions. Children regularly take part in yoga and mindfulness sessions. Staff are excellent role models as they teach children to be respectful of each other and follow the setting's rules.
Staff implement the curriculum for communication and language exceptionally well.

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.
