A day nursery in Cambridge for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in July 2024. Open since 2005, with 76 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 Cambridgeshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cambridgeshire 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 flourish at this nursery. They show that they feel happy, safe and secure.
This is because the manager and staff work hard to establish a highly effective keyperson system. Children talk fondly about their key person and build exceptionally close bonds with them and all staff. Throughout children's time at this stimulating nursery, they remain deeply engaged in a wealth of wonderful and rich learning opportunities. This is because staff have an excellent understanding of what each child knows, their unique learning preferences and what they need to learn next.
Children are curious and motivated learners. Staff make accurate judgements when it is appropriate to lay next to children to support their thoughts and ideas through rich interactions. Children become deeply absorbed in their choice of play. They study the features of toy dinosaurs and search for matching ones buried in soil.

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.
