Good★ 4.5 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Spalding for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2022. Open since 2014, with 42 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 are happy to come into this warm and friendly nursery. They are well cared for, and staff take the time to get to know the children they look after.
Children have warm attachments to each other. They help each other to get dressed in their wet-weather clothing, having a go in pairs to do up tricky zips, ready to go outside. Children kindly take turns to help the cook to serve the vegetables for lunch and use good manners as they pass the spoon to their friends.
Children develop their physical skills while making circle shapes in the sand with their spades, imagining they are drawing planets. They confidently use mathematical language to describe and compare the size of the circles they make.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review and carefully plan story time for younger children so that they can remain engaged and focused n support less experienced staff to carefully plan activities to link to what they want children to know and learn next.

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.
