Castledyke Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Barton on Humber 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 June 2024. Open since 2006, with 33 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 North Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North Lincolnshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Children are happy and genuinely enjoy spending time at this warm and welcoming nursery. They develop confidence, independence and good communication skills.
Staff secure warm relationships with children through gentle and thoughtful interactions. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. Children automatically say 'excuse me' if they need to get past an adult or one of their friends. Staff and children use sign language to reinforce manners. For example, children speak and sign 'thank you'
during their everyday activities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure learning is incorporated into children's interests to encourage children to become deeply engaged in learning experiences n strengthen the monitoring of staff practice to provide more focused support on the quality of teaching and learning to ensure staff always provide children with the highest quality of education.

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.
