Sticky Fingers Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Liverpool for children from birth to 8+, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2015, with 20 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
Friendly staff welcome children into this large open-plan space. There are defined areas with age-appropriate resources to invite and excite learning. The setting benefits from a secure roof garden, which allows the children to view the world as it passes by below. Besides the usual outdoor resources, the children are presented with unique learning experiences. They spend their time watching construction workers and are able to learn new language to identify the equipment. Children count different-coloured cars and discuss the variety of vehicles on the road. Every day they are provided with a different view of the world and the opportunity to extend their knowledge and understanding of real life.
Children have access to a separate sensory room. Soft-play resources, gentle sounds and coloured lights help them to develop and engage their senses. Here, they learn to understand the physical response to the emotions they feel. This supports children to develop resilience and manage their own thoughts and behaviour.
This setting is in a multicultural area and the manager ensures that equality, diversity and inclusion are a priority. Staff regularly take children out into the wider community. This helps children to celebrate and understand different cultures.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- allow children the space and time to take advantage of available learning opportunities before stepping in to support them.

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.
