A day nursery in Bootle for children from birth to 8+, open 07:45 to 17:45, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2025. Open since 2016, with 58 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 Sefton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sefton 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 enjoy their time at this warm, calm and inclusive nursery. They arrive happily as they receive a warm welcome from staff and separate from their parents at the door with ease. Children confidently go with staff to their playroom. Staff provide babies with nurturing care and sensitively support young children. Children receive lots of reassuring cuddles, and they snuggle up to staff to share individual stories. The children develop independence and a sense of security at nursery.
The provider's curriculum is ambitious and designed to give all children the best start in life. Staff build on what children learn at each age and stage, and children are well prepared for school. The effective key-person approach ensures that children's progress is closely monitored and any gaps in learning are closed quickly.
Children are motivated to learn and develop confidence with the support of staff.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff in understanding how to extend and challenge children's curiosity and thinking skills even further n target training and support for staff more precisely to address minor inconsistencies within the curriculum.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
