OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Haverhill for children from birth to 8+, open 07:15 to 18:15, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in July 2023. Open since 2002, with 96 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 Suffolk
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Suffolk 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 flourish and thrive at this welcoming nursery. As soon as children arrive, they are immersed in opportunities that inspire them to investigate, explore and learn. Children decide where to play, inside or outside, choosing from a range of experiences on offer. They spend time readily transporting items from one area to another. For example, children take play dough into their role play to extend their learning through using their imagination.
Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery. Staff link well-known songs to children's play as they eagerly join in with the words and actions. Children form strong and trusting bonds with their key person and other children. Staff are excellent role models and children benefit from their nurturing, caring approach.
This has a positive impact on children's emotional well-being.

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.
