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 Nottingham

What it is like to attend
Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this welcoming nursery, where they confidently explore the exciting and enticing activities on offer. Pre-school children are motivated to learn. Staff place themselves at key points around the room, enabling them to purposefully interact in children's play and ask thoughtful questions to prompt children's thinking further. As a result, children stay engaged in their play for lengthy periods of time. Staff are positive role models. They support children to use their manners, take turns and help tidy away resources. Staff are vigilant and know which children require additional support to manage their emotions. For example, when children occasionally struggle to share toys, staff swiftly intervene and gently help them to play alongside their friends.
Children are eager to take part in outdoor play. Toddlers use their arm muscles as they play ball games with staff. They are full of smiles as they successfully throw balls back and forth to each other. Staff present additional challenge by encouraging children to stand further back and throw the balls overarm. Other toddlers watch with interest as staff demonstrate how to hit balls with a bat. This helps develop children's hand-eye coordination. Children persevere, happily running after any balls that roll away.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff's skills in responding to children's emerging interests, in order to capture their curiosity and build on what they already know and can do.

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.
