Funded hours
15 or 30 hours per week during school terms only, starting in September each year. This is 38 weeks per year.

What childcare usually costs in Warwickshire

What it is like to attend
Children are warmly welcomed into this calm, nurturing nursery. Staff talk to children about their morning, and this helps them gain an understanding of how children are feeling. Children settle into the daily routine in their own time, and staff respect their choices. Children are exceptionally well behaved and show kindness and compassion to their friends. This helps all children feel valued and secure.
Children's language and communication are focus areas across the nursery. Staff introduce new words during daily routines and activities and include repetition in rhymes, stories and songs. This supports children to learn and remember more words. Children enthusiastically join in songs. For example, they sing 'everybody line up' as they get ready to go outside, and 'put your name on the door' as they are given their name cards. This instils a sense of fun and helps develop good routines that will support them as they move on to school.
Managers are highly motivated to ensure all children get the best start in life. They have embedded a clear curriculum that helps children build on what they already know to help them progress in their learning. Staff are included in planning for their key groups and are clear on the learning intentions of the curriculum.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the frequency of planned care routines to further enhance staff interactions with children and support their learning experiences even more.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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