GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Leyland for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2025. Open since 2008, with 51 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
Staff build good relationships with children. They gather lots of information from families when children first start to attend. This helps children to settle into the nursery. Children are happy in the nursery and participate well in activities. Staff engage well with children. They observe the things that children do and listen to the things that children say. Staff respond in appropriate ways to what they know about children. Children are keen to be involved in activities. For instance, during a colour mixing activity, children are eager to share their ideas about what colours might be created when they are mixed together. Children demonstrate positive attitudes to learning.
Staff provide children with a curriculum that builds upon their current knowledge and skills. They recognise that children who are disadvantaged and children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) require extra support. They work closely with parents and other professionals to provide children with a educational programme appropriate to their individual needs. This helps all children make good progress in their learning and development and they are well prepared for their next stage of learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- embrace children's home cultures and heritages further to support their sense of belonging n strengthen the individual support, mentoring and coaching of all staff to improve their skills and the quality of teaching.

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.
