A day nursery in Prenton for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 December 2021. Open since 2012, with 85 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 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
Children are thriving, happy and eager to learn at this busy nursery. They engage in carefully planned activities and self-direct their own purposeful play. Staff tailor learning to children's emerging ideas. This means that children try hard and concentrate well. For example, children decide to make 'bug cakes', using soil and cake tins. Following a debate about further ingredients required for the cakes, a staff member introduces flour and salt. This sparks a discussion about the texture and differences between salt and flour. Children describe 'granules' being 'bumpy'
and 'powdery'. They confidently talk to each other about their cakes and how many minutes they will take to cook.
Children are respectful to each other and play well together. They seek support from staff when they need help to resolve differences. Children listen well and respond to instructions. For example, staff raise their hand to gain children's attention. Children see this and stop what they are doing and help to tidy up.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - review information shared with parents so that they can further support children's learning at home n enhance curriculum planning so that children learn about people, beliefs and communities different to their own.

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.
