What childcare usually costs in West Berkshire

£6.00an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£6.50an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

This setting re-registered. It replaced “Audlen House Day Nursery” at the same address, which had been registered since 4 April 2002. A change of owner or legal entity gives Ofsted a brand new record, so the inspections below may only cover the time since then.

    Before you ring

    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    Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
    • 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.
