Nursery Facilities

Our converted barn has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the available space, creating a range of areas for children to play, learn and discover. Natural materials and wooden resources feature throughout the nursery, while dedicated sensory areas give younger children opportunities to explore through touch, sound and movement.

We also provide freshly prepared meals and a variety of engaging activities to support children’s development and help them build the skills they need for their next steps. Our team work closely with families to understand each child and provide care that supports their individual interests and development.

Located on Liverpool Road, our Wirral Neston nursery is around a 25-minute drive from Liverpool, making it a convenient option for families travelling between the Wirral and the city. Neston train station is approximately a five-minute drive away, providing another convenient transport link.

They do a great job: My baby loves going in every day and she is developping brilliantly! I also feel that the staff is very supportive, kind and loving. My baby has become quite attached to them, a bit like a home away from home :)

I adore the staff they work so hard and look after my baby so well, my little one is always happy and smiling when I pick her up, the girls always take time to tell me about her day what she’s been up to what she’s eating. My only concern is how often toys & surfaces are cleaned sanitised. And that’s honestly my only concern. I rave about nursery and tell all my friends and family how much my little girl has come on since being there.
