Bridget's Bambinos Day Nursery Limited
GoodBirth to 5Open a few years
A day nursery in Doncaster for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2024. Open since 2022, 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 Doncaster
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Doncaster 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 remain safe through the vigilance of the staff team. The indoor and outdoor environments are well maintained and kept free from hazards. Children benefit from taking part in a range of interesting outings, which broaden their experiences and skills. For example, they develop their social skills at the local toddler group. At the park, they access a wider range of large-scale equipment, helping to develop their gross motor skills. Trips on the bus provide them with new first-hand experiences, and visits to the library enable them to access a wider range of books. During outings, children are continually supervised so that they are protected from potential harm. Children behave well and learn good manners. They are encouraged to learn golden rules, supporting their awareness of rules and boundaries.
Management have made improvements since the last inspection. There is now a clear curriculum in place, which is implemented by staff. Children remain focused and motivated as they happily participate in a wide range of play experiences, which develop their skills and knowledge over time. For example, staff plan an interesting sensory experience for pre-school children to support their fine manipulative and communication skills. Children are encouraged to squirt shaving foam and squeeze paint into the tray. They have great fun exploring as they squelch the foam and paint through their hands. Staff ask questions about the different colours used, the smell of the foam and what it feels like, encouraging children's communication skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to consistently model practices that support children's increasing independence in developing good hygiene routines n help staff to provide opportunities for all children within the same age range to participate in routine and planned activities throughout the day.

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.
