Mumsnet Talk

Hi all and a Happy Easter!
I'm new to Mumsnet and live in Rossall. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any really good pre-schools for my little one who'll be starting for the first time in January 2011, when she's 3.
I'm thinking about any in Poulton, Thornton or Cleveleys.
I looked at Rossall last week and it was lovely, but a 'tad' expensive! Then I looked at Anchorsholme Pre-School and wasn't too impressed.
By the way does anyone know the difference between a nursery and a nursery school? Because the one at Anchorsholme calls itself a pre-school and yet there were no 'lessons' just play with all ages mixed together - now to me that's a nursery? Where as at Rossall there was a definate structure to the day, and the children were in classes of the same age. I'm Confused!
Huge thanks

St Annes College is the best one around - very small classes, educational atmosphere and very reasonable prices - much more so than the "business"-type nurseries around. Worth the extra 15 minutes journey - they have a minibus from Fleetwood anyway :-)

Ansdell Nursery School is fantastic, one of the best in the area.
