Bizzy Tots Day Nursery
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Southam for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2000, with 88 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 Warwickshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warwickshire 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 thrive at this outstanding nursery. They are highly motivated to explore the rich, vibrant varieties of activities both indoors and outdoors that staff provide.
Babies are engrossed in making chapattis. They eagerly select jugs and show high levels of concentration as they pour water in a bowl and mix all of the ingredients together. Staff support babies communication and language skills exceptionally well. Babies learn and use new words, such as 'tipping,' 'mixing' and 'sticky.'
Toddlers are thoroughly engrossed in the activities on offer. They enjoy playing with cars and a garage. Toddlers can skilfully negotiate with one another as they happily take turns and make space for others to join in. They are sociable and exceptionally well behaved. Staff support children's imagination and language skills through skilfully asking open-ended questions and playing with them. This enables children to develop their imagination and language skills in order to make the best possible progress they can. Pre-school children show deep-level thinking and are able to articulate what they know confidently. They show that they have remembered stories they have learned and are able to recreate these stories using a rich range of open-ended materials. Older children expertly talk about what they know and what they are doing, and they are extremely proud of what they have created.

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.
