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
Staff build strong bonds with children. They have a superb knowledge of children's likes and dislikes and their individual stages of development. Staff are exceptionally kind and nurturing, creating an environment where everybody feels valued and cared for. Staff provide children with consistent praise and encouragement.
Children's faces light up with delight as staff tell them the things they have done well. Children are highly motivated to learn and engage in activities for extended periods of time. They demonstrate excellent attitudes towards their learning.
Staff are highly effective in their interactions with children and provide an ambitious curriculum. They provide children with the skills that they need in order to do things for themselves. They help children work out how to find the end of the tape so that they can find it for themselves in the future. Children chop their own fruit, pour their own drinks and clear away their pots when they have finished. Children are highly confident in undertaking tasks for themselves.

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.
