Little Lodge Day Care Limited
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Wallasey for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2024. Open since 2022, with 45 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.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Staff create a welcoming and friendly environment. They form caring bonds and provide children with plenty of cuddles for those that seek reassurance. Children settle extremely quickly into the routines at nursery. Staff are positive role models.
They support children to take turns with the resources. Babies show impressive perseverance as they stack different sized wooden rings onto poles. All children show positive attitudes to their play.
Staff create an ambitious curriculum for children. They implement the curriculum for understanding the world well. Children go on outings to the local fire station, museums and library. Staff invite visitors, such as police officers, into the setting to talk to children about their different job roles. This helps children to learn about people that help them within their community.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance professional development opportunities for all staff to extend their knowledge of how to support children's communication and language development further n support staff to embed strategies to help children to understand the positive behaviours that are expected from them.

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.
