What childcare usually costs in Peterborough
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Peterborough 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 arrive at the nursery happy and excited to start their day. Staff provide a warm welcome and support younger children when needed. They invite families to visit the nursery prior to starting. This helps children become familiar with their new surroundings. Staff engage in positive conversations with children, developing their conversational skills and sharing special events that happen at home.
Children's behaviour is good. They listen carefully and follow instructions. Children enjoy playing together and staff model expected behaviours so that children learn important social skills and build strong relationships with their peers. They share their experiences and ideas with friends during their play and listen to each other.
Staff teach children from a young age to pour their own drinks and encourage them to make choices about the foods they eat. Children demonstrate their independence when they get themselves ready to go outdoors and serve their own food at lunch time. Staff praise their success, building children's confidence and self-esteem. Parents are happy with the care provided at the nursery and staff share regular updates with them, about their children's learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to recognise the impact their deployment has on children's concentration and engagement levels so that they benefit from the good learning opportunities on offer n continue to develop ways to engage parents in their children's learning, especially those who speak English as an additional language, to support children's development further.

- Nappies

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- 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.
