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 Bracknell Forest
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bracknell Forest 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 thrive at this nurturing and welcoming nursery. They are happy, confident and eager to get involved in the exciting array of activities and experiences that staff carefully plan for them. Babies and younger children develop warm and trusting bonds with the staff who care for them. Older children demonstrate high levels of confidence and have extremely positive attitudes towards learning. Staff offer children lots of praise and celebrate their individual achievements. Children in the baby room benefit from their personal needs being met exceptionally well by the knowledgeable and caring staff. Babies and toddlers are curious and motivated to explore a wide variety of sensory activities. They have fun investigating different materials, such as sand, ice, play dough and natural materials in their play. Older children test out their own ideas and develop essential skills for future learning.
They build strong friendships and play imaginatively and collaboratively. For example, pre-school children deeply engage in play in the role-play home corner, using fresh herbs to make tea for their friends.
Overall, children behave well. They receive support to learn about behavioural expectations, including sharing stories and resources to explore ideas of emotional well-being. Staff encourage the children to resolve conflicts themselves. For example, children can be heard telling others that they have to 'share' and 'be kind'
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- offer even greater support for individual staff, to ensure that they give children enough time to think and respond to the questions they ask, in order to build on children's communication and language skills even further.

- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
