September 23, 2024 at 3:11 pmMy daughter loves attending here and has made some special relationships with team and other kids. The setting provided for the kids allows them to explore lots of different areas and toys and allows them to use their imagination inside and also when playing outside. They offer a wide variety of meals which my daughter loves and consistently finishes all meals. The team are welcoming and the relationships they make with the kids are highly personal which makes it sense like a second home for my daughter. She has come on so much since attending here and I would suggest The Beacon to everyone The Beacon Childcare centre offers us a inviting and cheerful welcome every morning.

October 13, 2024 at 3:57 amConsistently polite, welcoming and supportive either in person or by email or phone and I consistently leave feeling cheerful and assured. The facilities are spotless, well kept, secure and looks like great enjoyable and educational. The team are highly welcoming and my little girl is consistently cheerful to be there. She truly is developing well in all aspects: speech, recognition, emotionally, personality and others and consistently seems cheerful to be there. They use and update the parents’ app every time she is in, which is reassuring as a parent and it’s consistently great to see her having enjoyable and develop when you aren’t there. The updates let you know the important things such as what and if they are eating, sleeping, toilet habits and any landmark or positive moments. They are also quick to document and attend to any trips or falls with great care and cuddles. This is highly reassuring for me as her dad. I would strongly suggest it. I attended my kid review and was greeted by the manager, whom I’ve met and spoken to on numerous occasions.

October 27, 2024 at 4:38 amAll the team were so welcoming and made me sense secure in leaving my kid with them. She came on loads – her speech and her social skills were outstanding. Then she went into the toddler room, where again she thrived; she started to use the potty and then onto the toilet. She made lots of new friends and formed a excellent relationship with her key worker. I loved to watch the bond she had with her. Now my daughter is in the preschool room and again forming excellent relationships. Discovering letters and doing her phonics which she absolutely loves. It’s nice to know my daughter and her key workers have been on this journey of childcare centre life together. I couldn’t suggest this childcare centre enough. My daughter has been coming to The Beacon Childcare centre since she was 13 months old, so started in the baby room, where she loved to playtime and learn new things.

November 21, 2024 at 6:25 amEspecially for my son with special needs, who was truly let down. The team at The Beacon Childcare centre are nothing short of incredible. Nothing is ever too much, they have gone above and beyond for both of my kids and also been such a assistance to me. They facilitated a place for my son for an extra year as this was what I wanted for him until we could get a place in the right school. They truly bent over backwards to ensure this happened. My son has an incredible 1/1 with whom he shares the most incredible bond with. Both of my kids absolutely adore attending childcare centre, they are consistently so cheerful and well cared for. I am so glad for my son especially, that he has experienced what a childcare centre should be like. His negative journey has been replaced with an incredible one and has paved the way for his education. I can’t thank or suggest this childcare centre enough, I only wish we would have found them sooner. After a bad journey in another setting, I found it truly hard to put my trust in a childcare centre again.

December 3, 2024 at 3:35 pmThe team are compassionate. Queries are dealt with on time and in an efficient manner. My kid is consistently excited to go to childcare centre. She says everyone is nice unlike in her previous childcare centre, where she was treated badly. Cheerful so far with the service.

December 15, 2024 at 1:31 pmMyself and her mum were highly wary of how she might settle into childcare centre life as she is a lockdown baby and not used to seeing many people. But she has settled so well and is consistently cheerful going into and coming out of the childcare centre. You can see already the bond she has with all the team from the baby room. They are compassionate and attentive and can see they are all passionate about their jobs. I adore that I get notifications throughout the day from the childcare centre app letting me know what she has eaten and pictures of moments they have captured during the day. I’m glad I chose this childcare centre for my kid as she is cheerful and content here already. I would highly suggest others to this childcare centre. My 8-month-old daughter has just started this childcare centre at the beginning of May.

December 18, 2024 at 2:22 pmThe manager and all the team are highly compassionate. My 2-year-old kid goes to childcare centre and is highly cheerful each morning. I truly see a better improvement in my kid after joining this childcare centre. The Beacon Childcare centre is the best choice in St Helens.

December 19, 2024 at 12:15 amThe team are all welcoming and attentive, and you can see how much they adore their jobs and the kids. They keep us up to date with his assessments and nurture his interests. I can’t praise the team at Beacon enough, my shy lockdown son started there just before his second birthday and has loved it from day one.

January 5, 2025 at 3:01 pmMy daughter settled in straight away and has come on so well, especially with her speech. She was truly shy at first, now she’s like a different kid. The team are excellent. Keep you updated with everything that’s going on throughout the day with the childcare centre app. Overall I cannot fault this childcare centre at all. I would highly suggest. Excellent childcare centre.

January 8, 2025 at 1:34 pmThe classes are consistently neat and the kids get taught how to be independent. My little one has improved a lot since she joined the school. I would suggest the school to anyone who needs a secure place for their kids to learn, while having enjoyable. The team are highly expert and supportive in giving information and assistance.
Milan Mayer
January 8, 2025 at 8:38 pmHe is now 2 and has just moved into the next class from ladybirds. I can’t thank the team enough for teaching, attentive for and developing him. There is a noticeable difference in him from week to week. My son needed assistance with a milk allergy of which all team are exceptionally great at supporting him with. You can see just how comfortable he is when he walks in. Thank you to his Keyworker. All the team are incredible. I cannot wait to see what this next stage brings. Thank you all so much. Best decision we ever made. A highly cheerful Mum My little boy has been going to The Beacon Childcare centre since he was 7 months old.

January 12, 2025 at 10:09 amMy little boy started here when he was 9 months old and has had an incredible time in the baby room and has come on massively in his development thanks to his key worker and other team and I’m sure this will continue when he moves into the toddler room.
If anyone asks I never hesitate to suggest this childcare centre! My daughter started here when she was 19 months old, at first she was a highly shy little girl who didn’t want to leave my side and with the help, assistance, and patience from team she has progressed massively and now in preschool room she is a clever, chatty little girl who loves coming into childcare centre and consistently excited to tell team and her key worker everything she has been up to.

January 28, 2025 at 4:08 amWe get regular updates and pictures of her day which is remarkable. All the team are highly welcoming and welcoming as is the managers it truly is a remarkable childcare centre and an incredible setting for kids. I would highly suggest. I honestly can’t praise this childcare centre enough my kid has attended for just over 12 months now, my kid is down syndrome and has many delays and they cater for her so well, she has some medical needs she has a Mickey button that all team have been trained on how to use.

January 30, 2025 at 8:48 amMy daughter has recently moved into the toddler room. Her development, speech and interaction has come on so much. The team are so supportive, nice and expert and it’s important to me to tell that the team truly do care for all of the kids. I couldn’t suggest The Beacon Childcare centre any more than I do. All the team are exceptional. My daughter has attended The Beacon Childcare centre for 15 months now and I’m so pleased with every aspect of the Childcare centre.

March 26, 2025 at 4:50 amMy son has been going since the age of 9 months old and is 2.5 years old now. He loves going and he runs in with the biggest smile on his face as he cannot wait to see the team and other kids. It’s a highly spotless and secure place for the kids to learn and playtime and all the team are highly compassionate, attentive and supportive. I’m highly satisfied and couldn’t think of any other place I could send my little boy to. This is a exceptional childcare centre.

May 2, 2025 at 9:52 pmI am cheerful I receive details and I am kept up to date on my baby. The team are outstanding and I suggest the childcare centre as the team are polite and understanding. They have welcomed my daughter with open arms and helped her settle in.
Reese Mayer
June 4, 2025 at 1:56 amOur older two kids who are 8 and 5 both went here from been 9 months old. I went back to work after our third kid last month and didn’t even look anywhere else. All the team are exceptional and we wouldn’t choose anyone else to help us raise our kids while we are at work! Can not fault this childcare centre at all and I wouldn’t choose anywhere else.
Dakota Carter
June 14, 2025 at 6:59 amHe is in the baby room and all the team are incredible and so attentive. Nothing is too much trouble for them and their dedication to the kids is so lovely. My little one never wants to come home, which is obviously a great thing. My little one absolutely loves it here!

July 1, 2025 at 1:58 pmI’m so cheerful I picked this setting for her as she amazes me all the time with things she has learnt and words she can now say.
They go above and beyond and I adore that the educators will take time out of the day to tell you what they have been doing while being there. My daughter started here in April and has improved so much in her speech and interaction.
She truly enjoys going here and runs in the door every day with a smile on her face excited about going.
She enjoys her meals here and the interaction with her educators.
