Little Angels Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Warrington for children from birth to 5, open 07:15 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 July 2023. Open since 2011, with 25 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 Wigan
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wigan 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 flourish in this warm, welcoming and inclusive nursery. They are confident in their surroundings and are keen to explore and investigate the array of activities that staff provide. Children are motivated to learn, and staff have high expectations of what children can achieve. The curriculum is progressive and helps to ensure that all children make good progress from their starting points.
Staff working with babies are kind, caring and nurturing. Children benefit from the sensitive approach of staff. Sensory play is a key focus in the baby room. Children enjoy exploring different textures, such as sand and shaving foam. In doing so they develop the small muscles in their hands, as they squeeze, squash and hold different objects. Enthusiastic and playful staff support toddlers to learn new skills.
For example, children develop their hand-eye coordination as they fill containers at the water tray. They explore colour changing as they make marks with paint, and develop simple mathematical awareness as they build towers with blocks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to gain a greater understanding of the over-arching curriculum to enable them to plan even more precisely for children's learning n help staff to recognise when to adapt their teaching during group activities, so that children can participate fully and gain the most from the experiences that help them to learn.

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.
