Beaupre Under 5 Centre
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Wisbech for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2022. Open since 1997, with 24 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 Norfolk
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Norfolk from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

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

What it is like to attend
Children demonstrate that they thoroughly enjoy their time at this setting. Staff and children greet each other with warmth and enthusiasm. Children immediately settle to their chosen activities. The setting's child-centred approach fully supports children's self-confidence and self-esteem. Staff focus precisely on what each child needs to feel safe and fully take advantage of the opportunities on offer.
Children's behaviour is excellent. They are friendly and cooperative. Children are endlessly kind to their friends. When a child asks to join her friends in a shopping game, they independently rearrange their activities and welcome her into their play. Children learn to follow simple rules and explain why these are necessary.
They enjoy explaining why they need to brush their teeth and giggle as they make jokes about family members forgetting to do this.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop further staff's sharp focus on children's speaking and listening skills by consistently introducing new and interesting words that extend children's communication skills to the highest possible level n support staff to identify and take more opportunities to fully promote children's independence skills.

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.
