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 Warwickshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warwickshire 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 thrive in this incredibly nurturing setting. Staff know the children and families they serve well, and they develop the closest of bonds with the children they care for. For example, children of all ages, including older siblings who have left the setting, embrace the staff regularly. This means that children are extremely happy and settled. Staff have consistently high and clear expectations of behaviour.
As a result, children's behaviour is exemplary.
A well-designed curriculum is embedded consistently across the nursery. Staff speak extremely confidently about children's progress and how they make sure a child is secure in each stage before they move on. This enables children to build key skills and knowledge throughout their time at the setting. Staff plan a wide array of rich opportunities and stimulating activities that motivate children. For example, children make their own play dough, decide what they want to create and independently select the tools they need. This results in children being deeply engaged in their learning for long periods. Developing children's language and communication skills is at the heart of everything the staff do. For example, babies are introduced to the word 'find' and they explore black water to find different animals. The babies understand the focus word, repeat it, name the animals and make their sounds. This supports children to develop a wide vocabulary and communicate effectively.

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.
