Tiny Hearts Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Liverpool for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2024. Open since 2015, with 55 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 Sefton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sefton 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 receive a warm welcome from cheerful staff when they arrive at nursery.
They arrive happy and motivated to begin their day. Children settle quickly and engage with the broad range of activities provided for them. They develop positive attachments with staff, due to their warm, sensitive and caring interactions. Staff build trusting relationships with parents. These secure relationships ensure that parents are kept well informed about their children's progress and development.
For example, staff share children's learning journals. They outline what the children will be working on next and provide ideas to help parents to contribute to their child's learning at home.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop a more consistent approach to supporting children's next steps in learning.

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.
