St Paschal Baylon Nursery and After School Care
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Liverpool 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 April 2024. Open since 2005, 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 Liverpool
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Liverpool 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 are dedicated and passionate about providing positive outcomes for all children. They create a calm, friendly and nurturing environment. Children are happy and settled. They arrive at nursery excited to explore the range of stimulating activities available. Staff build positive and trusting bonds with children.
This helps children feel safe and secure. They have high expectations of all children, including for their behaviour. For example, they help children learn how to share the toys and resources. Staff praise children when they are kind and helpful, which also helps to build children's self-esteem.
Staff provide a broad curriculum which gives children the knowledge that they need to succeed. For example, staff invite visitors into the setting, such as paramedics, firefighters and community police officers. This helps children learn about people who help them within their community. Children have opportunities to watch chicks hatch out of their eggs in the incubator at nursery. They observe the changes to caterpillars as they change into butterflies. This helps children learn about the life cycle of animals.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen systems for monitoring and coaching staff, to help accurately identify inconsistencies in the implementation of the curriculum n embed a carefully planned, well informed and regularly reviewed programme of professional development, that helps to further develop staff's knowledge of the curriculum and their teaching skills.

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.
