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 Derbyshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Derbyshire 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 enthusiastic learners who love coming to nursery. Children's interests and love of learning are at the heart of every decision staff make. Staff support children in developing independence rapidly through daily routines and experiences. Children in the under-twos' room confidently put their own shoes and aprons on. Children show deep curiosity about the world around them. For instance, two-year-olds ask questions about what cows eat, after noticing cow manure on a walk. Children gain a breadth of knowledge, while developing their communication skills effectively. They discuss why a lion might need to move quietly, while using their bodies to imitate a lion's movements. The children practise funny voices and sounds while reading familiar stories such as 'The
Children explore their place in the community. While visiting the local forest, they demonstrate deep concentration, discovering ways of balancing, climbing, and navigating through complex paths. Children are aware of how to keep safe, as they hold their arms up high while walking through nettles. Staff inspire children to develop a sense of personal responsibility. For example, children explain the importance of cleaning their own plates while independently loading the dishwasher after dinner.
Children behave extremely well. Staff support them to develop firm friendships with each other and to use the setting's golden rules. Children in the two-to-threes'

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.
