Beeches Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Slough 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2016, with 35 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 Buckinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Buckinghamshire 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 form positive relationships with the warm, caring and attentive staff. Staff provide comfort, such as cuddles, to children who need more reassurance. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Children develop their independence securely, including making choices about what to play with. Staff support children's awareness of expected behaviours. They model these to children, such as using good manners.
Staff offer a well-considered curriculum linked to the children's learning needs.
They provide a unique, tailored curriculum with appropriate targets for children who need extra support for their learning. This helps to meet all children's learning needs and promotes their progress successfully. Overall, staff weave in goodquality teaching during their daily interactions with children. They talk and sing with children consistently, which helps to support children's communication and language skills. Staff promote children's awareness of mathematics effectively, such as by encouraging counting and recognition of numbers. Children are keen learners. For example, they enthusiastically join in with adult-led activities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to embed and build on their teaching skills to help raise the quality of practice and promote children's development even further - enhance staff's teaching to support children's confidence to take risks and to build further on the development of their large physical 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.
