Crank Nursery in St Helens offers high quality childcare for babies, toddlers and pre school children.

We are situated in a semi-rural tranquil area of St Helens, and look out on to beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The Nursery was opened in September 1990 and has been fully refurbished in 2024. Our rooms are generously proportioned to offer a fantastic learning environment for your child. We also have 2 large outdoor play ares which are accessible to all children. We are registered for 120 children between the ages of 3 months and 5 years and have a team of 33 fully qualified staff all holding a paediatric first aid qualification, and staff retention is excellent. We are a non-profit making organisation and we are also a registered charity. Our nursery is about passion rather than financial gain.

We provide high quality childcare in a safe, happy and stimulating environment for babies, toddlers and pre-school children.

Meals are prepared by our full-time cook who serves healthy, nutritionally balanced meals and snacks made with fresh ingredients. All dietary requirements are catered for.
