Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Bristol for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2024. Open since 2018, with 69 places.
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 South Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in South Gloucestershire 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
Leaders and managers have worked hard to address the weaknesses in practice highlighted at the last inspection. They have made significant improvements to the care, learning and development for children in the nursery. The manager and curriculum lead have carried out training with staff to put in place a well-sequenced and flexible curriculum that builds on the individual needs of children. Staff consider what children already know and can do when planning what they need to learn next. They make sure children have plenty of choices about what and how they play. Children make good progress from their starting points.
Staff welcome children warmly into the setting. Key persons build strong relationships with children, which helps them to feel safe and secure. Staff place a strong focus on children's personal, social and emotional development. Since the last inspection, staff have created 'wellbeing stations' in each room. They teach children how to use tissues to wipe runny noses, put the tissue in the bin and then wash their hands. They remind children to take drinks frequently and especially after physical activities. Younger children use the new low-level child toilets in the bathrooms when potty training. Staff encourage children to use them and make sure they wash their hands afterwards. Staff explain the importance of this, to get rid of germs and keep children healthy. Children are learning healthy, hygienic practices and how to take care of themselves.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the way staff use adult-led group activities so that all children have the opportunity to participate and be involved.

Still missing for Baker Street Nursery and Preschool

- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
