What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in North Northamptonshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North Northamptonshire 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 enter the warm and welcoming setting with ease, excited to see what is out for them to explore. They happily wave goodbye to their parents and skip off to find their friends. Children and staff members have great relationships and children are happy to seek out any member of staff if needed. All staff know the children well. Activities available follow children's interests. For example, a lot of children recently visited the local sunflower farm. Children explored sunflowers, creating their own pictures while discussing Van Gogh paintings. A display proudly shows off their creations, developing their self-esteem.
Individual coat pegs with photos give children a real sense of belonging in the setting. Staff celebrate the link between home and nursery. Photos on the walls show children reading stories at home with their families. This helps to create a real love of books. Children are kind and respectful of each other and the setting.
Their behaviour is exemplary and they understand staff expectations. Staff value and respect children. Children make independent choices about their learning. For example, they independently choose their own music and movement sessions on the giant computer screen.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide further support for staff to extend their knowledge and skills to improve the consistency of high-quality teaching.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
