Tudor House Day Nursery @ Accrington
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Accrington 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Good by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2020, with 49 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
Children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, become skilled learners and are keen to experiment and investigate. They take part in meaningful learning, such as dressing up as a firefighter, making purposeful marks in paint and ordering objects from biggest to smallest. Children enjoy attending the nursery and gain new knowledge, including new words. This is because the manager and the staff have significantly improved the quality of the curriculum that they provide. Children develop a positive attitude to learning.
Children arrive at the nursery happy and eager to explore. They skip in, welcomed by staff who support them very well to part from their parents. Children make lots of friends. Children and babies demonstrate that they feel safe in the care of staff, for example when they come close to trusted adults for cuddles. They feel at ease because staff build warm, secure relationships with them.
Children learn to be kind and self-controlled. They respond well to staff's high expectations of their behaviour. Children know the 'golden rules' that staff have set. For example, children confidently state that the reason they walk is so they do not trip or bump into others. They behave impressively well, helped by staff's thoughtful modelling and gentle, encouraging reminders.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff's knowledge of the sounds that letters represent so that children hear the correct pronunciation of letter sounds n support staff to enhance the quality of their interactions with children, giving children time to answer questions and develop their skills in holding longer conversations n revise the organisation of the nursery routines so these do not unnecessarily interrupt children's learning.

Still missing for Tudor House Day Nursery @ Accrington
- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- 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
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.
