Teddy Towers
Good★ 4.6 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Leyland for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2023. Open since 2016, with 33 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 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
Children are happy in the welcoming nursery. They show that they feel safe as they separate from their parents with ease, keen to start their day. Children choose from a wide range of exciting activities, indoors and outside. They are eager to learn, leading their own play and happily joining group activities. Children make good progress in their learning.
Leaders and staff plan experiences to link with topics that children are exploring.
This helps give children's learning real-world context and helps to broaden and deepen their understanding. For example, children bubble with excitement as animals from a local farm come to visit. They carefully take llamas for a walk and watch in awe as hens and ducks lay eggs. Children learn about generational differences as they visit and chat with residents of a nearby care home. Children learn to become thoughtful and responsible citizens.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen implementation of the curriculum for the youngest children, particularly in relation to communication and language.

- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
