A day nursery in Minehead for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in July 2023. Open since 2016, with 72 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 Somerset
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Somerset 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 feel safe and secure in this exceptionally nurturing environment, where dedicated staff value every child's uniqueness. Children have strong attachments to their key staff, who respond quickly and sensitively when children need support.
Staff are excellent, respectful role models with high expectations. As a result, children's behaviour is exemplary, and they are kind and helpful to each other.
Children move about freely between the indoor and outdoor areas and engage with well-planned activities that stimulate their curiosities. Older children cooperate excitedly as they share ideas about how to prevent their dinosaurs from 'falling into the green swamp and getting stuck'. Young children mix bowls of porridge and retell a well-known story using props. They learn early literacy skills, such as using descriptive words and how to sequence a story. Young children eagerly squeeze sponges in soapy water. As a result, they develop strength and coordination in their fingers and hands. Older children challenge themselves and persevere as they pull themselves up slopes using ropes. This helps to develop their core muscles, and they are proud of what they achieve.

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.
