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 Lancashire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lancashire 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 greet their peers and staff with smiles and hugs as they arrive in the nursery. They are happy and secure in their surroundings. Children choose their favourite toys and persevere with activities that interest them. For example, children spend time intricately painting a doll's fingernails and applying make-up to its face. They show good concentration skills and develop the muscles in their hands in preparation for early writing. Furthermore, children who like to learn outside enjoy making large marks on the outdoor painting wall. In the main, children are kind and caring towards each other. They comment on being 'best friends' and learn to value a wide range of unique differences they have. Children are independent from a young age and make choices in their learning. They take part in pre-school committee discussions and enjoy being chosen as the daily helper. This boosts their self-esteem.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, leaders have worked hard to increase children's communication and social skills. Children explore books together, take part in creating and reviewing stories and sing songs regularly. These activities help their language to consistently improve. Any children who have delays in their development are fully supported within the setting and with the input from relevant professionals. As a result, children all make good progress.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- focus professional development more precisely to help staff consistently implement effective behaviour management strategies.

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.
