A day nursery in Wallasey for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 June 2022. Open since 2014, 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 arrive happy and are quick to become busily engaged in inspiring play.
They are extremely eager to join in activities that ignite their curiosity and deep thinking. With gentle guidance from staff, children persist and try hard as they experiment with paints to work out how to make green. Children demonstrate patience and positive attitudes to the world around them. They carefully search for insects and talk at length about spiders and woodlice. Staff skilfully join in with children's investigations. They provide appropriate challenge to extend children's knowledge.
Children have an exceptional sense of self-confidence. They talk in detail about their play dough creations. Without prompt, children recollect key features of favourite stories and facts in books. They show great enthusiasm for learning as they take part and have a go at new things. Because children are highly engaged in purposeful play, their behaviour is excellent. Older children are polite towards each other. They are superb at listening to instructions from each other and adults.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen information-sharing to ensure that all children receive personalised and specific support and teaching at all times, including when their key person is absent.

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.
