Eureka a Place for Discovery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Coventry for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2022. Open since 1997, with 57 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 Coventry
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Coventry 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 form strong emotional attachments to their key person and staff. As a result, children feel safe and secure and settle quickly into the daily routines of the nursery. Children display positive behaviours. They learn to take turns and use their manners with gentle reminders from the friendly and professional staff.
Children confidently explore their surroundings and make independent choices on the direction of their play. Staff are attentive and sensitive to children's individual needs. They know the children well and plan enjoyable activities based on their interests and next steps in learning. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress from their starting points.
Children are provided with opportunities to develop an understanding of the world.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide guidance to staff to help them know when to intervene in children's play, to further support children to think about and manage risks for themselves, particularly when playing outside n encourage staff to give children sufficient time to listen, think and respond when asking questions, to enhance their thinking, communication and language skills.

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.
