Eden House Day Nursery Ltd
GoodBirth to 5Open a few years
A day nursery in Royston for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2025. Open since 2025, with 90 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 Cambridgeshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cambridgeshire 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
The nursery is a happy and welcoming place for children. Children are well cared for and safe with staff who want the best for them. Even the very youngest children settle quickly and happily in the calm and nurturing Bunnies room. Babies feel secure and confident to explore their surroundings. Staff provide a range of sensory experiences and skilfully use these to expose them to a wider vocabulary.
Staff know the children well and set up engaging activities based on their interests.
For example, younger children enjoy rolling balls down a ramp to see how far they go. They use spoons to scoop up a gloopy mixture, developing their fine muscle skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of transitional times and routines to better meet children's needs and their learning outcomes.

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.
