Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
15/30 hours funding all year round for working families from the term after your child turns 9months+. There is an option for term time once children are 2 years+. We accept 15 hours – Golden Ticket for eligible 2 year olds. ALL 3 year olds are automatically entitled to 15 hours funded.
Worth knowing. Hot meals, trips and resources: £10 daily rate for funded days only. Option to opt to pack lunch.
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 and settled at the homely nursery. They enter full of confidence and motivation to learn. Children behave positively. They have a good understanding of the rules and boundaries and follow instructions well. Children have learned to share, take turns and be polite to their friends. They are developing good social skills and learning about fundamental British values.
Children have good communication skills. Babies giggle as they learn new phrases, such as 'I-spy' when using the binoculars. Staff introduce words such as 'crunchy',
'spiky' and 'hard', which helps children to learn to describe different textures. Staff have high expectations of what children can achieve. Older children benefit from targeted speech and language intervention groups to improve their speaking skills further. This helps to ensure that all children make good progress in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to consider children's next steps more carefully when planning and implementing activities n support staff in the baby room to follow good hygiene practices consistently, such as handwashing, and teach children why this is important n strengthen the feedback staff receive to raise the quality of education to the highest level.

Still missing for The Parish Nursery
- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £59.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
