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 well cared for at this warm and friendly setting. Staff and children create meaningful relationships with one another. Children who have recently started to attend are quick to settle, as they receive plenty of cuddles and reassurance from the loving staff throughout the day. Children are confident in their play and direct their own learning. They decide what they want to play with and whether they would like to be indoors or outdoors.
Staff carefully plan activities around the children's prior interests. This ensures that children engage and are happy in their learning environment. Staff research what the children's likes and dislikes are. They are knowledgeable about what the children know and can do already. The staff go to great lengths to acquire this information before the children start to attend the setting. The staff schedule visits to their homes, send out parent questionnaires and invite parents to induction days. This helps children to have a smooth transition from home to nursery.
Staff, including the special educational needs coordinator, support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. They promptly complete early assessments and referrals for children. Staff work effectively with external agencies to ensure that the children make the best possible progress.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- work more closely with parents to provide further information on the importance of providing healthy and nutritional food for their child's lunch at the setting to promote further children's healthy lifestyle n strengthen teaching to provide even more support for children with SEND to access all learning activities, specifically story time to support them to make the best possible progress in their communication, language and literacy development.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
