Carmela Coady Childcare
Ofsted report card Feb 2026Takes funded hours★ 4.4 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open a few years
A day nursery in Bournemouth for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They take the funded hours. They do not publish prices, so ask. Inspected under Ofsted's new report card in February 2026. Open since 2021, with 54 places.
What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
Fully funded sessions are available to all eligible families.
Worth knowing. When using funded hours, no extra charges apply. Children receive the same meals, activities, and care.
Places, hours and the day
Who they take, when they are open, and what a day there includes.
Where it is
BH1 4HYWhat Ofsted found, area by area
Since November 2025 Ofsted gives a standard in each of seven areas rather than one overall grade. Expected standard means it is doing what it should.
What the inspector found
One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
