Hayley's Little Heroes

About this day nursery

Hayley's Little Heroes is a day nursery in Warrington that provides care for children from birth to ten years old. The setting is open from Monday to Friday, between 7am and 6.30pm. It offers government-funded childcare places for eligible two, three, and four-year-olds. In September 2025, an Ofsted inspection judged the day nursery to be Good overall. The inspector found that the manager leads a dedicated staff team and that recruitment arrangements are robust.

The inspection report noted that staff have an in-depth knowledge of each child and deliver a well-sequenced curriculum with a strong focus on communication and language. Staff were observed modelling language well, and parents told the inspector their children had made progress in their language skills and social confidence. Activities such as playing with dough help children develop fine motor skills. The inspector stated that while children use wheeled toys outdoors, the curriculum for the outdoor area could be developed further. Staff were also asked to consider how they support children to understand their own behaviour.

Our ethos

Hayley's Little Heroes aims to foster curiosity and a passion for learning through a blend of education and care. Their approach encourages development via interactive play, creative arts, exploration, and hands-on activities in maths and science. They also focus on social and emotional growth, teaching children to express feelings, resolve conflicts, and build empathy.
