What you might pay

What childcare usually costs in Sefton

What it is like to attend
Children arrive at the nursery very excited, inquisitive and eager for their day to begin. They receive a wonderful, warm welcome by exceptionally caring staff at this inclusive nursery. Children feel safe and secure as they have strong bonds with the staff who care for them. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the settling-in procedures were changed to ensure children settle in at their own pace.
A rich array of activities are offered to promote children's interests, such as messy play activities and baking. Children practise emerging writing skills using chalkboards, and younger children are fascinated making dinosaur footprints and car tracks in the sand tray. Children take turns to take home a 'travelling bear', then eagerly share their family adventures with friends on his return.
Children have a wonderful love of books at the nursery. Enthusiastic staff read to children every day. They use their voices and props, such as puppets, to make the story captivating. Younger children squeal with delight at what the tiger may do next in the story. Older children use their imagination when using the outdoor space and natural resources to create an exciting bear hunt. Children are resilient and confident as they skilfully balance on log beams and practise forward rolls.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue implementing their ambitious plans to enhance the learning environment to ensure all children benefit from the new teaching ideas n enhance staff's understanding and practice of how to provide challenge to younger children to support them in developing a wide and varied vocabulary.

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.
