Pre-school

Meals are freshly cooked on-site every day by qualified chefs, with a guaranteed hot dinner and tea for full-day children rather than a snack from a trolley. Every member of the team owns a piece of Bloom and receives a paid profit share each Christmas, so the people caring for your child have a real stake in getting it right. Older children in our out of school clubs can even work towards becoming a junior play worker, taking on real responsibility as they grow.

We have nine settings across Liverpool and Knowsley: Aintree, Prescot, Barlows Primary, Kirkby Town Centre, Huyton, Northwood, Southdene, Stockbridge Village and Tuebrook. Each one is placed on a major road or commuter hub for easy access, so take a look and find the one closest to your route to work.

We welcome children from 3 months to 5 years across our settings, following the EYFS framework from babyhood through to school readiness. Bloom @ Aintree also offers out of school care for children aged 5 to 11, so families can stay with us for longer.

You can take a virtual tour of several of our settings online any time, then complete registration digitally when you're ready. If you'd rather speak to someone first, get in touch and we'll talk you through your nearest setting and current availability.

Availability changes setting by setting, so the quickest way to check is to use our instant cost calculator or get in touch directly. We'll let you know current spaces and talk you through anything coming up soon at your preferred setting.

Yes. Every 3 and 4 year old is entitled to 15 universal hours a week regardless of work status, and working families can access 30 hours a week for 3 and 4 year olds, or from when their child turns 9 months old, provided each parent works at least the equivalent of 16 hours a week and neither earns over £100,000. We also accept tax-free childcare and can talk you through what you're eligible for.

Fees vary by setting and the sessions you choose, so we've built an instant online cost calculator to give you a clear breakdown before you commit to anything. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges, and every booking is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

As a young group, some of our settings are newer and awaiting their first inspection, while others already have a published rating. Get in touch and we'll give you the current Ofsted status for the specific setting you're considering.
