Daisy Chains
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Scunthorpe for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in June 2024. Open since 2009, with 50 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 North Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North 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 thrive at this wonderful nursery. The experienced and passionate manager, together with her committed workforce, offer high-quality care to children and their families. The dedicated staff are extremely knowledgeable about their key children, what they know and what they need to learn next. Staff skilfully plan meaningful experiences to promote their learning and development, built on children's interests. This helps all children to make excellent progress in relation to their starting points, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities
In the baby room, staff place a high emphasis on forming meaningful relationships.
This helps babies to feel safe and secure and eager to explore the rich environment. Staff support children's feelings exceptionally well. Staff acknowledge how children are feeling while still ensuring that they remember the expectations of the nursery. For example, staff recognise that some children do not want to tidy up to make space for group time. They skilfully discuss with children to find a solution.

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.
