Good★ 4.7 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Coventry for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2021. Open since 2010, with 58 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 play in a stimulating environment and demonstrate high levels of concentration and involvement. Children and babies confidently explore and investigate different textures and practise their handling skills in a variety of ways.
Due to the time of year, this includes their enjoyment of getting involved in activities using pumpkins.
Children behave well and play cooperatively. Older children talk confidently with staff and with their friends while they explore the resources that are available to them. Staff ensure that children's learning builds successfully on what they already know and can do. They work with parents to ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive the additional support that they may need. Staff support children's communication and language development well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend staff's practice for linking the development of young children's large muscle movements with their developing fine motor skills and pencil control n increase support for children as they develop an understanding of, and ability to compare, different quantities.

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.
