Coteswood House Pre-School and 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2023. Open since 2014, with 38 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 show genuine levels of happiness and enjoyment in the nursery. They are motivated to take part in the exciting and engaging activities on offer. A particular favourite activity is exploring capacity and understanding of the world as children make and play with spring-themed play dough. Children use their small-muscle skills to recreate a caterpillar. They recall a butterfly appearing from a cocoon.
Children have super imaginations when creating. Staff enable children to use a variety of natural objects to paint. The children use twigs, flowers and tape to produce paintbrushes as they paint during their outdoor play.
Toddlers learn self-care skills when they use cloths to wash their dolls. They explore a real carrot and say 'a carrot' for the first time. Staff show that they are incredibly proud of children's achievements and celebrate these with them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff interactions so that children can develop their communication skills even further.

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.
