Pine Pixies Pre-School lowers the admission age





















Pine Pixies Pre-School lowers the admission age


Pine Pixies Pre-School in Formby has delivered excellent childcare to parents for almost seventeen years from two to five years. From 1st March 2018 they are lowering the age of children accepted to one year old.  


































Catherine Regan, Owner and Registered Person said,

" Childcare has changed a lot since I started almost seventeen years ago. We need to change what we are offering and that means giving younger children the chance to enjoy what a small setting like ours can offer. Our ratios are higher than most school nurseries and we can offer shorter session times than some full day nurseries.

For parents who do not want to book a child into a full day nursery from 7am to 6pm we can offer shorter times of mornings, afternoons or a 9am to 3pm session. This is a very exciting time for us as we change our setting to include more toddlers, whilst still catering for the needs of 2, 3 and 4 year olds. Children and families now will be given the chance to stay with us from an earlier age and see how their child progresses. We are not just a pre-school we are an extension of their family."

Come and view our setting and speak to our wonderful staff, who are all fully qualified and First Aid trained. Our setting is Ofsted registered and you will find our latest inspection report here:

Don't just take our word for it, see what our parents say:

“Pine Pixies is such a lovely environment for young inquisitive, active minds, it is also a very professional and a warm place for toddlers to make the transition from home to school. All the staff are so lovely and kind and I feel like they really care. My boys have enjoyed their time here.”


“We chose Pine Pixies for PreSchool due to a positive experience with her elder sibling. We have always found Pine Pixies a friendly and caring environment. The staff are Pine Pixies finest asset encouraging, supporting and providing a stimulating learning experience for the children.”


“The Pine Pixies staff have welcomed us into their pre-school with open arms, wide smiles and total professionalism. Our son loves ‘his ladies’ and always has a fantastic time. The days/hours are very flexible and any concerns are dealt with immediately.”


“Nursery teachers are so caring and very attentive to the needs of each individual child. I love the informal play and child-led aspect of learning. I wish this style could continue throughout early years teaching.”


“A lovely setting with lots on offer and friendly caring staff.”

Childcare at its best in your community







Would you like some time each week, to do the cleaning or shopping on your own?

Would you like some free time to go to the gym and meet other people?

Messy play not in your own home. For your child to socialise with children their own age.
Tailor made settling in procedure.

Our staff are qualified, First Aid trained and love working with children. So come along and meet them for yourself.

We are the original small based pre-school type and run in a church hall. Our staff to child ratios are 1:8 whereas in some school nurseries they are 1:13. 

We believe that a higher ratio is the better option for your child. 

We also have students from time to time, which makes the ratio even higher.

Hours open: We are open Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm term time only.

Sessions: 9am to 12 noon, 12 noon to 3pm or a full day session available

Fees start at £19.50 for a 3 hour session.

We do accept work related vouchers towards fees and offer the funding grants if applicable.



 Activities offered are messy play, sensory play, mud kitchen, planting and growing, small world, building, investigating, reading stories, singing songs and rhymes, socialising. All this in a safe and very caring environment. We have an outside area where they can run and explore, learn to climb and balance.

Our setting is easily accessible being close to bus and train services. Car parking available.



















Let your child have fun whilst you give yourself a few hours of personal time.

We’re not just a pre-school; we are an extension of your family.
