A day nursery in Mansfield 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 July 2022. Open since 2015, with 63 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 Nottinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottinghamshire 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
Babies show that they feel happy and secure at the nursery. They play alongside their friends, giggling and laughing at each other. Babies develop strong relationships with their key worker. They sit with staff who sing as the babies move their bodies in response to the music. Babies show they care for their friends from a young age. They learn how to share their toys with each other, receiving praise from staff for being kind to one another.
Children behave well and know what staff expect of them. They help staff to wipe tables and set the tables for lunchtime. Children respond well to positive guidance and frequent praise from staff. As a reward for their good behaviour, children are chosen by staff members to sit at the 'fine-dining table'. Children show excitement and a sense of pride when their good behaviour is rewarded.
Staff focus on supporting the communication skills of all children at the nursery through high-quality interactions. Babies join in singing time with the staff. They learn the actions of songs and repeat these while staff sing. Children splash while they wash dolls in the water tray. They sing with staff, learning the words of different body parts.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure staff give children the time they need to follow their own interests and curiosity and concentrate on and enjoy the activities provided.

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.
