Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children enjoy exploring the outdoor area where they can climb, jump, crawl and slide.
Activities: Children enjoy a rich and varied range of experiences, including visits to the local care home. This supports children to develop their understanding and respect for people and communities outside of their immediate family.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff teach all children sign language. This supports children's communication and language development well and further develops children's understanding of diversity.
Communication: Parents feel they are kept informed of their children's learning and development. An online learning system means that staff and parents can easily share observations and assessments of children's progress.
Community Building: Events are planned, such as 'stay-and-play' sessions where parents spend time playing with their children.
Programs and Resources: Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are exceptionally well supported. Detailed discussions with parents and outside agencies ensure that staff have an in-depth understanding of children's unique needs.
Staff Training: Staff demonstrate a good knowledge of individual children's progress. A highly effective key-person system enables staff to plan for children's next steps in their learning.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children build very secure attachments with staff. They demonstrate that they feel safe as they are confident to make choices about what they wish to play with.
Safeguarding Training: Staff attend training in child protection and their knowledge is kept up to date through regular discussions around wider safeguarding issues.
Play and Learning Integration: Staff sing children's favourite songs during play and nappy changing. This promotes children's emotional security as they get used to their new surroundings.

Children's Safety and Security: Staff remind children to use 'kind hands' and support them to think of ways to play cooperatively. Staff teach children the language of feelings to enable them to explain when they feel sad, angry or happy.

From the YMCA Sefton Nursery
Just a few years after George Williams started the organisation, a YMCA was organised in Southport in 1852. Since the middle of the 1970s, Southport YMCA has operated at Hoghton Street as a recreation and sports centre, eventually incorporating a nursery.
The Trustees officially decided to change our name from YMCA Southport to YMCA Sefton on March 3, 2016, in order to better reflect our goals for working with children and young people not just in Southport but throughout the entire Borough of Sefton. Publicly, this started on September 2, 2016.
In order to form YMCA Liverpool & Sefton, YMCA Sefton and YMCA Liverpool amalgamated in April 2017.
The YMCA has contributed significantly to Southport's quality of life, therefore we are happy that the centre on Hoghton St. is now open and providing a variety of sports and activities in addition to our highly respected YMCA Sefton Nursery.
