St Johns Roman Catholic Primary School (After School Club and Nursery)
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Ormskirk for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2023. Open since 2004, with 24 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 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 arrive excited to start their day at this welcoming nursery. Staff chat with parents and greet children warmly. This helps children to feel safe and secure.
Children display strong bonds with staff and go to them for guidance or reassurance when they need it. Children are eager to share ideas and invite their friends to join in their play. As children roll cars down the wooden planks, staff seize the opportunity to extend their learning. They ask children to identify how fast or slow their cars are travelling. Furthermore, children learn to be critical thinkers as they excitedly engage in an experiment to see which objects will roll or not. Staff ask the children 'how' they can adapt the equipment and 'why' they think this is a good idea. Children are eager to share their predictions. They are highly motivated learners.
Children are confident and happy as they interact with trusted staff and friends.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the monitoring of staff practice to ensure that staff use their knowledge of the children to sufficiently extend and challenge children's learning n support staff to better sequence aspects of the curriculum so that children build on what they already know and can do. Nursery)

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.
