Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
What childcare usually costs in Leicester
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicester from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children are eager to start their learning as soon as they arrive at the nursery.
They rush in excitedly to see what new objects of interest have been left in the reception area. Children are curious to explore the old typewriter that staff have added to promote discussion. Children are happy and engage confidently with staff, who know them well. They have formed strong attachments with their key person.
This helps them to feel safe and secure. Children show kindness towards each other and they behave well. All children receive good levels of support and reassurance from the staff. This has a positive effect on children's confidence, behaviour and emotional well-being.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to make the most of spontaneous opportunities to further challenge the children's thinking skills.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £62.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
