Bramble Hall Day Nursery
Good★ 4.4 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Boston for children from birth to 8+, open 07:45 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2023. Open since 1996, with 63 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 Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lincolnshire 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 at nursery and confidently find lots to do with their friends and staff. They particularly enjoy being outside, where they can enhance their physical skills or learn about the natural world around them. Children behave well and have a good knowledge of the familiar routines. Older children are developing a secure knowledge of their emotions and how to self-regulate their own behaviours. Staff
Staff generally foster children's sense of independence well, and children are learning how to do things for themselves. They demonstrate this especially well at mealtimes, when they use a variety of utensils to serve their food and carry it back to their tables.
The youngest children enjoy warm and trusting relationships with staff, who know them exceptionally well. Even those who are leaving parents for the first time settle quickly, and soon feel quite at home in their new surroundings. Children are inquisitive and keen to explore everything around them. Their physical skills are enhanced greatly as they learn to toddle and move themselves from one place to another. They show great fascination for rolling objects and beam with delight as staff show them how to roll balls through a length of piping.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to plan activities more effectively and be fully prepared with the resources they need to lessen the interruption to children's learning and experiences.

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.
