Church House Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Nottingham 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2024. Open since 2016, 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
Children develop close attachments with the caring and nurturing staff at this home from home nursery. This helps children to feel safe and secure in their environment. Staff help children to develop their communication and language skills. Babies interest is ignited as they excitedly look at pop-up books with staff.
Older children, enjoy singing and acting out well known stories with staff. Simple sign language and visual aids are used by staff to help babies and children to understand and communicate their needs.
All children's needs including those with Special Educational Needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are catered for well by staff. Knowledgeable and experienced staff help children to make progress from their individual starting points. For example, they effectively use assessment to identify children's targets and promote this through play and meaningful interactions.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to share information from other early years setting's that children also attend to provide a consistent approach to their care and learning n strengthen hand hygiene routines for babies and young children to consistently promote healthy lifestyles and prevent the spread of infection.

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.
