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 North Northamptonshire

What it is like to attend
Children show positive relationships with staff and their peers. For instance, younger children comfort their peers when they become upset. Children receive praise from staff when they do this, rewarding them for showing kindness to others. Older children laugh with staff when they play throwing games. When children who speak English as an additional language arrive, they are welcomed by staff who use their home language to greet them. This contributes to children having a sense of belonging in the nursery. Older children learn how to take turns with their peers. When they want toys that others are playing with, staff ask them to wait until other children have finished playing with the toys. This encourages children to be patient.
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well by staff. Other professionals are invited into the nursery to work with staff to identify how to meet children's individual needs. Additional funding that some children receive is used to provide one-to-one time with children to implement targets to help children progress in their development. Children are supported to develop a love of books to support their literacy skills. For instance, when staff read books to younger children, they ask them to lift flaps on the pages. Older children are asked to remember stories that staff read to them. Children recall parts of stories, such as how to recycle objects.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to implement the management team's expectations during daily routines to support younger children's communication skills n support staff to adapt their interactions with older children during planned activities to ensure that all children learn the most from the experiences offered.

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.
