Bushra Daycare
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Leicester for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 to 16:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2022. Open since 2018, with 32 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 Leicester
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicester 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
When children arrive, they are eager to see what toys and activities are available to them, and they happily say goodbye to their parents. Children show a clear sense of well-being and belonging at nursery, and they behave well. They enjoy being with the staff as they play together. For example, children pretend to be doctors and staff are willing to be the patients. Children wrap the staff in bandages and stick plasters on them 'Because they are poorly' and to 'Make them better'. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)
and those who speak English as an additional language, are treated with care and respect by the staff. This promotes children's emotional well-being and contributes to the positive relationships between the children and staff.
Recent changes to the curriculum and planning has had a positive impact on children's learning. Staff keep children's interests at the heart of the planning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance how staff interact with children to ensure that they fully support children's developing communication and language skills and that they meet the individual needs of children with SEND
- improve the organisation of the daily routines to ensure that children's learning and engagement in their play is not interrupted.

Still missing for Bushra Daycare
- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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
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.
