What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
9-23 month funding for working families, 2 year old funding, and 3 year old funding, 30 hours free childcare for 3 and 4 year olds.
Worth knowing. Stretched to cover 22 hours a week, so it will include all of the holidays. (exculding Christmas when the setting is closed). This is 11 hours when stretched all year round instead of 15 hours term time only. Our funding and fee options cover all consumables, apart from the 3-4 year funding. We try to make sure that our sessions are accessible to all, that's why we try to only charge a small supplement.
What childcare usually costs in Peterborough
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Peterborough 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
Staff in the nursery provide children with a range of fun learning experiences that encourage them to develop a positive attitude to learning. Children arrive happy to start their day, and staff greet them with a smile and a warm welcome. This helps children to settle and feel secure in their surroundings. Staff take the time to get to know the children. They build very close relationships with parents to find out what they know and can do when they start. This enables staff to provide activities that are tailored to children's needs and interests.
Leaders ensure that staff understand their intent for children's learning and follow an ambitious curriculum that is sequenced to build on children's knowledge and skills. This supports children to be fully prepared for starting school. Babies are provided with lots of opportunities to use and explore their senses. They shake their musical instruments excitedly as staff sing familiar songs. Older children engage in activities that help to develop their hand-eye coordination. They practise drawing big circle movements with chalk, make snips in paper with scissors and throw balls through holes on a board. Children are building the language they need to communicate their needs with others. This helps them to express themselves with their friends as they learn to share and to take turns.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff understand how to consistently adapt teaching to extend children's learning to the highest level.

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.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
