GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Wotton-Under-Edge for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 June 2022. Open since 2019, with 18 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 Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Gloucestershire 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 safe and secure in this nursery with a home-from-home, family feel.
Staff create a stimulating environment which is centred around the children's interests. Children independently explore the areas, accessing favoured activities.
For example, children play with the 'builder's kit'; they use the hammer to bang the nails. Children develop their small-muscle skills as they use their fingers to twist nuts and bolts together.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure staff consider how they can best meet the needs of the youngest children so they are ready for their next steps in learning.

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.
