He was a very particular little boy who was selective with who he went to, making me so nervous about going back to work after maternity.\nHaving little family, the nursery have been a back bone to our family.\n\nCarter loves nursery, walks in, sits himself down to breakfast and happily waves us goodbye. I couldn't be happier with Carters progress, he's key worker Lauren is always on hand to keep us updated. Dad called everyday for the first 9 months (he probably still does), but never did they discourage this. They have lots of focused activities. They have taught Carter so much over the last 11months, he now learns me some moves to the nursery rhymes and songs. He is well behaved, goes to bed easily, eats his food nicely and I know this stems from having the consistency that the nursery provides in his daily activities.\n\nThe nursery is always warm and clean. The equipment always looks brand new! Carpets are spot less! (other nurseries I viewed where terrible). They provide a balaced diet, offering a wide and varied selection of food.\n\nWhen we have needed to add an emergency day, they have always made room. If you are looking for a nursery that cares for your child like they would their own, then this is the nursery that you should consider. I would highly recommend the nursery to all.\n\nThank you to all the staff for looking after our little boy, we will be forever grateful.",

## About this day nursery

Beacon Nursery, situated in the heart of St Helens, offers a bright, spacious, and caring environment for children aged 0-5. The nursery is committed to providing high-quality childcare and early years education, deeply rooted in the values and ethos of YMCA St Helens, aiming to support families in leading fulfilling lives.

With a 'Good' rating from Ofsted (October 2016), the nursery prides itself on its experienced and passionate staff, who are all DBS checked and fully trained to a minimum of Level 3, with some holding Level 5 and the manager possessing a Bachelor's Degree and Level 4 Montessori Early Years Professional status. The curriculum focuses on learning through play, encouraging exploration, self-worth, and the development of social and communication skills through various activities like non-stereotypical, world discovery, expressive, and messy play.

The nursery is divided into three age-specific rooms—Ladybirds for babies (3 months - 2 years), Caterpillars for toddlers (2-3 years), and Butterflies for preschool children (3-5 years)—each designed to facilitate differentiated learning and smooth transitions. A key worker system ensures personalised care and communication with parents, and comprehensive admission procedures are in place to ensure children with medical or specific needs are well-supported.

What it's like

Children are happy in this bright, spacious and well-organised nursery where staff greet them and their parents warmly and form strong, friendly relationships. Children are eager to join activities, mix happily with friends and practise physical skills, such as balancing on apparatus, developing confidence in their physical ability. Children's behaviour is good because of strong relationships with staff who are sensitive to their emotions and help them resolve conflicts.

Everyday is a good day

Fantastic Nursery!! My son started from 6 months old. He was a very particular little boy who was selective with who he went to, making me so nervous about going back to work after maternity. Having little family, the nursery have been a back bone to our family. Carter loves nursery, walks in, sits himself down to breakfast and happily waves us goodbye. I couldn't be happier with Carters progress, he's key worker Lauren is always on hand to keep us updated. Dad called everyday for the first 9 months (he probably still does), but never did they discourage this. They have lots of focused activities. They have taught Carter so much over the last 11months, he now learns me some moves to the nursery rhymes and songs. He is well behaved, goes to bed easily, eats his food nicely and I know this stems from having the consistency that the nursery provides in his daily activities. The nursery is always warm and clean. The equipment always looks brand new! Carpets are spot less! (other nurseries I viewed where terrible). They provide a balaced diet, offering a wide and varied selection of food. When we have needed to add an emergency day, they have always made room. If you are looking for a nursery that cares for your child like they would their own, then this is the nursery that you should consider. I would highly recommend the nursery to all. Thank you to all the staff for looking after our little boy, we will be forever grateful.
