Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
15 hours Early Years Education Entitlement (EYE) starting from the term after their 3rd birthday until they start school; 30 hours funding for eligible criteria; from 2024 some 2-year olds will also qualify for free childcare.

What childcare usually costs in Halton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Halton 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 happy and run excitedly into the pre-school. They are welcomed by warm and welcoming staff. The manager takes careful consideration of the preschool's staffing arrangements to make sure staff are well deployed. This has developed secure, strong bonds with the children as staff have more time to interact and support them. This makes children feel safe and secure, and they are developing into confident learners. Managers are clear on their intent for what they want children to learn, and staff implement this well. Staff have high expectations for children, particularly around their language development. The pre-school is a highly sociable environment. Staff are continuously engaging in conversations with children, building on their communication skills and critical thinking.
Children demonstrate a positive attitude to learning. They explore the environment with high levels of curiosity to learn about the natural world around them. Rules are well embedded, and this is reflected in the children, who often show care and concern for others. Children thrive in the outdoor area. They explore the world around them through the purpose-built mud kitchen and bug hotel. Children demonstrate an understanding of assessing their own risks while climbing on the wooden climbing frame and in trees, increasing their muscle development and balance.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review further how children's next steps and how they learn are shared with parents so that learning can be continued at home.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £27.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
