Setting up or expanding a nursery or pre-school

1. Overview

Lancashire County Council offer pre-registration and business support packages to meet your needs and ensure you receive all the help and guidance you need, in developing a new childcare setting or enhancing an existing one.

Packages of support - These packages have been designed so you can purchase the appropriate type of support that you need. There are 7 different packages of support, 3 are to help you register a high-quality provision with Ofsted and 4 packages of support are available to help you set up the business.

The type of package you choose will be dependent on a number of factors such as your previous experience in childcare/ business knowledge and the complexity of the project you are proposing to develop. Prior to choosing your childcare support packages we recommend you book a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your project and work out which package/s would be most suitable to meet your needs.
