Children 1st @ Wragby Road
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Lincoln 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2025. Open since 2014, with 90 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 Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lincolnshire 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 close attachments with staff, showing that they feel safe and secure in their care. For example, when older children arrive, they greet staff by name and hold out their arms to receive a cuddle. Children sit on staff's knee and beside them to listen to stories, supporting children to follow their interests in books.
Children learn about different languages and cultures from around the world. For example, older children copy staff as they count in Spanish. Children develop their knowledge of traditions from other countries, such as China. Staff use key words in children's home languages, as well as English, when introducing the routines of the day. This helps children who speak English as an additional language with their language skills and understanding. Additional funding that some children receive is spent effectively to meet their individual needs. For example, additional resources are purchased for the garden to encourage children to develop their physical skills outdoors. When children play in the garden, staff ask them to use magnifying glasses and work as a team to look for insects, encouraging them to explore and investigate their surroundings. Staff help children to develop their knowledge of spiders. Children learn what spiders eat and that spider webs are strong.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to help older children to learn how to take turns in conversations and listen to the views of others n support staff to implement knowledge from professional development when they plan activities to help raise learning opportunities for younger children even higher.

Still missing for Children 1st @ Wragby Road
- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- 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
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.
