This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wiltshire 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 excitedly arrive and quickly settle. Staff greet them warmly. They become involved in their play, chatting with their friends. They choose from the wide range of well-planned and inviting resources available. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress across the curriculum. Staff know the children well. They expertly offer challenge to extend children's learning while they play. For example, children are busy making play dough. A two-year-old child says that it is 'very dry and crumbly'. Staff ask what would make it more sticky and wet. Older children reply, 'water'. Staff suggest that they add some to see what happens. Children add water a little at a time. They are excited and fascinated as the dough sticks together.
Children feel very safe and secure. They are confident and express their needs well. Staff have established a supportive routine for the children. They teach the children consistent expectations for behaviour. For example, when two children run around inside, staff remind them to use 'walking feet' indoors. The children ask if they can go outside as they want to run about. Staff praise them and remind them to put their shoes and coats on. Children independently do this and enjoy exploring outside.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further enhance staff professional development to consistently lead to improvements in the teaching of the curriculum n consider ways to further develop how children understand the wider world and other communities beyond their own.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £8.50 an hour still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
