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 are highly motivated, confident and exceptionally enthusiastic learners.
They are immensely happy in this vibrant nursery. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, parents leave their children at the nursery door. Special video messages sent to children by their key persons during the COVID-19 lockdown have helped them to settle back into nursery life easily. Children keenly explore the purposefully organised learning opportunities. They use paint and pencils to create highly detailed pictures. Children describe their masterpieces using extensive vocabulary and show their wonderful imaginations. Older children immerse themselves in their learning by frequently making choices about how they wish to spend their time at nursery. They delight as they move between the outside and indoor areas all day.
Children's behaviour is excellent. For example, they show thoughtful consideration and respect for other children during role play. They eagerly respond to staff's questioning and patiently listen to their friends while they are speaking. Older children share very strong friendships with their peers and are extremely well prepared for the next stage in their lives, such as starting school.

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.
