A day nursery in Warrington for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2015, with 137 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 Warrington
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warrington 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 thrive in this wholly inclusive setting, where their unique needs are warmly celebrated. All children demonstrate exceptionally positive attitudes to learning and are deeply engaged in activities of their choosing. A skilfully constructed, bespoke and unique curriculum reflects children's individual needs. Staff effortlessly offer challenge, differentiation and an abundance of opportunities for children to recall previous learning and build on what they already know. Children display a real passion and thirst for learning.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff are consistent in their approach and use strategies that reflect the ages and developmental stages of children. This culminates in children being able to self-regulate superbly. For example, babies begin to identify their own emotions, while older children employ previously taught strategies to help them to calm and re-engage in learning. This means that children are ready to learn and remain highly motivated as they explore their environments with impressive confidence and determination.
Staff are acutely aware of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, they have implemented purposeful strategies, such as language screening and 'word flowers', and placed a huge focus on children's personal and social development. As a result, children are making exceptional progress and any emerging gaps in learning have closed rapidly.

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.
