Bosworth Academy Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Desford for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2022. Open since 2012, with 20 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 Leicestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicestershire 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 are happy to attend the nursery. They are warmly welcomed by the staff, and are confident to separate from their parents, demonstrating they feel safe and secure. Children form good relationships with the staff in the nursery, who know them well. They are confident to explore the nursery space with sensitive support from the caring and attentive staff. The children become immersed in their play as they access a range of motivating activities. For example, they mix the mud and hay in the heavy-duty plastic tray, and move small-world farm animals around, as they pretend the animals are in a field.
Children have lots of time to play, investigate and explore in the routine of the day.
They choose to play with their favourite, familiar activities and are keen to engage with new experiences. Children have good communication and language skills. At mealtimes, they join in conversations with their friends and adults, as they enjoy healthy meals and snacks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- give children further opportunities to develop independence in everyday activities n review the organisation of the environment to enable children to play and explore all available spaces n strengthen the support for quieter and less-confident children to ensure they consistently receive the same levels of positive interaction as their moreconfident friends.

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.
