Staplands Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Liverpool for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2024. Open since 2005, with 22 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
Children are happy and well cared for at this safe and homely nursery. Staff focus on getting to know children well and forming strong relationships with them.
Children of all ages sit together for breakfast time, replicating a family dynamic.
They get to know all of the staff team and children from different rooms while still with their key person. This promotes children's social skills and emotional wellbeing, and it helps them to feel secure at nursery. Staff support children to learn about sharing and turn taking. Children remember nursery rules, such as waiting their turn and using good manners. They learn to follow instructions and the daily routine well. Children know what is expected of them, and their behaviour is very good.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- focus the curriculum for outdoors more sharply on what children need to learn next, particularly for those children who prefer to learn outdoors n strengthen the coaching and mentoring arrangements, particularly for less experienced staff, to help raise the quality of interactions to a consistently high level.

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.
