Liskeard School Nursery
Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A pre-school in Liskeard for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2024. Open since 2024, with 47 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 Cornwall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cornwall 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 cared for with warmth, kindness and respect by staff at this welcoming nursery. The whole staff team gets to know children and their families extremely well. This helps staff to ensure that children's individual needs are met effectively.
When children move to the next room, or on to school, they are well prepared. This is because staff have a clear understanding of what they want children to learn to help them to be ready for the next stage of their learning.
Staff encourage children to be independent and to do things by themselves. For instance, older children spread cheese on their crackers and pour their own milk during a sociable snack time. Staff praise children, which motivates children and boosts their confidence.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen planning of group activities for the youngest children to help all children achieve the intended learning outcome n improve the organisation of transition times before mealtimes so that children continue to be engaged in quality learning experiences.

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.
