GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Coventry 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Good by Ofsted in December 2024. Open since 2017, with 41 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 Coventry
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Coventry 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 show excitement as they attend this nursery. They laugh as they take part in activities that allow them to be creative. Staff build meaningful relationships with children that support their well-being. Children initiate conversation with key adults, showing their familiarity and comfort with staff. Children settle quickly, following a thorough settling-in process that is flexible to suit families' requirements.
Children demonstrate positive behaviour and can follow instructions. Staff use gestures and visual cues to contribute to the children's understanding of what they expect from them. The staff offer children a compact but well organised outdoor area, with opportunities for physical development. Children engage in a range of learning experiences, including riding on scooters, using large rollers on the wall and balancing on wobble boards. Children throw beanbags with staff, who teach them how to hold their hands correctly to develop their catching skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider ways to challenge children's learning further to develop communication and language skills even more n reflect on ways to add to children's wider experiences to ensure that they are equipped with the life skills they need to be ready for their next stages of learning n review the organisation and use of the open-plan baby and toddler room to ensure that all children's learning needs are being met.

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.
