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 Wirral
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wirral 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
Staff eagerly wait at the door for children to arrive. Children run into the arms of familiar staff as they are greeted with welcoming hugs. They demonstrate an eagerness to start their day in the safe and secure homely environment. Staff consistently reinforce appropriate boundaries and rules for children. The children are reminded to be kind, share resources and know the nursery's 'golden rules'.
Staff promote teamwork as younger children are given tasks to work together.
Older children make great friendships and help and support each other. For example, children help their friends to pour water into a cup when they see them struggling. Children's behaviour is good.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance supervision sessions for staff to ensure clear targets are set and feedback is sharply focused, to help improve staff practice even further n support staff in their understanding of how to extend children's communication, speech and language further, focusing particularly on the overuse of dummies and use of closed questions.

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.
