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 Coventry
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Coventry 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 enjoy their time in this friendly, welcoming nursery and are greeted warmly by staff. Time spent getting to know children helps them to separate well from their parents and enjoy their nursery day. Children build close relationships with staff and their peers. Settling-in sessions enable children to become familiar with their new environment. Parents are encouraged to share lots of information about their child. This helps staff to meet their individual needs from the start.
Children are encouraged to greet their friends each day. They enjoy taking turns to beat a drum as they sing the names of their friends, telling them that they are pleased to see them at nursery. Babies also enjoy songs and staff encourage their emerging communication by using lots of simple language and repetition of words.
Children develop their physical skills. Babies develop balance, control and coordination as they pull themselves to standing and move around the room. They delight in running their hands over sequinned pictures and watch how the colour changes. Toddlers learn to safely climb on climbing equipment and see-saws. Preschool children manoeuvre around obstacles and each other as they use wheeled toys confidently. Children are developing a good understanding of the importance of sharing and taking turns. Staff recognise this and give them lots of praise and encouragement, which supports children's confidence and self-esteem.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide children with more opportunities to make choices to support their developing independence n consider the organisation of some activities to reduce noise levels and minimise the impact on other children's learning.

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.
