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
Staff have created a nurturing play environment for children. They greet children each morning with a smile and a hug. Children cannot contain their excitement to play and explore their surroundings. Staff know children well. They plan an ambitious curriculum, which keeps children interested to learn. For example, older children giggle with delight while exploring the texture of ice. In the main, staff are good role models. Generally, children behave well and show positive attitudes towards their learning. Staff give children's emotional well-being high priority. They spend time getting to know children and their families during the settling-in period.
Consequently, children settle quickly, feel safe and have a strong sense of belonging.
Staff encourage children's individuality exceptionally well. Children express themselves through song and dance. They learn about the many ways that make them unique, such as having different hair or skin colour. Staff teach children that it is okay to be different. They help children to be respectful of others. Staff support children to be independent from a young age. For example, they encourage babies to wipe their own faces after mealtimes. Older children help to tidy toys away and take care of their personal belongings. Staff support children well for their eventual move on to school. They talk to children about their new teachers and classrooms.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to be more confident in helping children to manage their own feelings and emotions n continue to embed the arrangements for staff's coaching to help them to improve their practice n strengthen information sharing with parents to better support their children's learning at home.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
