Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
All children receive Early Years Entitlement from the term after their third birthday. From this point on children are entitled to 15 free hours per week for the academic terms. Many will be eligible from the term after they are two. Many families will also be eligible for up to 30 free hours per week, and this may be taken as full days (9 am – 4 pm).
Worth knowing. Fees are payable for children when they are not eligible for EYE funding or for hours in excess of the funding. In allocating extended hours, we have taken the decision to prioritise the older children for full days.
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
The nurturing staff are very caring and passionate about providing the very best they can for the children attending the pre-school. Children are warmly welcomed by staff and children show they feel secure and happy. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), settle with ease in the environment. The strong key-person system ensures staff know the children and their families well. Support for children and families is strong, holistic and tailored to their needs. Staff work closely with parents to keep up to date with their children's current interests.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and teach them the importance of good manners, sharing and turn-taking. For example, children help to tidy up and listen carefully to staff when they speak. Staff teach children about different emotions. Children are starting to manage their feelings well.
Staff plan a varied and ambitious curriculum to build on children's skills and knowledge over time. The curriculum supports all areas of development well. Staff know and understand the learning intentions for all children. This supports all children, including children who are disadvantaged and children with SEND, to make good progress from their starting points. All children gain the appropriate skills for later learning, including school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen teaching practices so that learning intentions are precisely matched to support children's individual needs.

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 £5.75 an hour 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.
