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 Wiltshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wiltshire 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 at this inviting setting. Separating from their parents confidently at the door, children run into the nursery to find their friends and explore. Parents are happy to leave their children here to learn as they trust the experienced staff implicitly. Babies settle quickly as staff replicate a calming homely experience.
Children spend most of their day outside exploring the extensive grounds in the fresh air. Staff have created extremely attractive areas, such as the treehouse where children use their imaginations freely. Children run down the hill to join in activities designed by staff who know them very well. Freedom is key to a child's fun and learning here and staff are skilfully deployed to make this happen.
Staff are exceptional role models and children are extremely well behaved and guided by the golden rules. Children receive the best possible start to their education. Staff plan enticing activities which engage the children and extend their knowledge. Well-trained staff have created a highly ambitious curriculum for all children, including those who may have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All children thrive. Staff help children to become respectful adults of tomorrow. Differences are celebrated and discussed openly, and children learn what it is to be unique.

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.
