Funded hours
Funding from 9 months. A child is entitled to claim funding from the term after they turn 9 months, 2 years or 3 years (depending on which criteria they meet). They are entitled to either 15 or 30 hours of funded childcare for 38 weeks of the year which equates to 570 hours. We are able to “stretch” these hours over the year in various patterns.
Worth knowing. Eligibility criteria apply and you require an eligibility code or a golden ticket to be entitled.
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 enjoy attending this setting. They arrive happily as they are met by friendly staff at the start of their day. Staff work well together as a team, which helps to provide a warm, friendly atmosphere in which children can settle straight into their play. Children's well-being is supported right from the start and continues throughout their time at the setting. There is an effective key-person system in place, which helps children to feel safe and secure. Staff support children effectively to understand their expectations. They are good role models and remind children to use good manners and follow expected rules and boundaries. This helps them to develop positive behaviour, such as tidying up after themselves and taking turns.
Leaders and managers develop a well-sequenced curriculum from which children benefit and learn well. Children use signs alongside verbal communication during song and rhyme sessions and to make choices, such as choosing milk or water at snack time. This is used consistently throughout the setting to support children's speech and language development. Staff in the baby and pre-school room plan a well-resourced learning environment, both indoors and outdoors, which provides children with opportunities to learn and develop.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the implementation of the curriculum for younger children so that learning intentions are tailored to support individual children's learning needs n strengthen partnership working with parents to support children's continued learning at home, specifically around internet safety.

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 £72.00 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.
- 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.
