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 Warwickshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warwickshire 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 and settled at this welcoming and friendly nursery. They enjoy the time they spend at nursery and readily engage in a good range of play activities that are age-appropriate and based on their interests. Children make choices from the well-resourced environment. They readily explore and develop their own ideas. Pre-school children show sustained levels of concentration as they use scissors to cut out shapes to create a picture of a rocket. They excitedly join in with activities outdoors, pretending to go on a bear hunt and joining in with games such as hide and seek. Toddler children enjoy taking part in yoga sessions. Babies settle well and develop strong bonds with familiar adults. Staff follow children's home routines and offer children frequent cuddles and reassurance when needed.
This helps them to feel emotionally secure.
Children behave well and staff demonstrate high expectations for their behaviour.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build further on professional development opportunities for staff in order to enhance the quality of teaching to the highest level n develop partnerships with other settings attended by children to promote continuity in children's care and learning experiences.

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.
