A day nursery in Birkenhead 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2023. Open since 1993, with 120 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 Wirral

What it is like to attend
Children love their nursery. They arrive eager to play and learn in the wellequipped classrooms and garden area. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), develop close, trusting relationships with the nurturing staff. They build long-lasting friendships with other children.
Children feel at ease because staff support them if they feel anxious when starting at the nursery. Children are well cared for by their key person. They demonstrate that they feel safe, such as when they slip their hands into the palm of staff to help them feel more secure.
Children learn how to be kind, considerate and well mannered because of staff's skilful role modelling. They behave extremely well. Staff imaginatively help children to easily remember the rules of how they should behave. For instance, they teach children to pretend that they are putting on kind hands and walking feet. Children learn also to use kind words.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve staff focus on what information to teach children and why n improve staff knowledge of the mathematics curriculum to strengthen children's 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.
