Grosvenor House Day Nursery And Pre-School
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Nottingham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2025. Open since 2014, with 145 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 Nottinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottinghamshire 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
Staff seek a range of information from parents, when children first start at the nursery. They use this information purposefully to help new children settle. Babies and toddlers receive lots of cuddles and reassurance from staff when they arrive at the setting and throughout the day. Children that are new to the setting quickly settle. Parents comment on the warm welcome that they and their children receive each day and how well staff know their children.
Staff provide children with many opportunities to develop their fine motor skills.
Babies laugh and giggle as they play with slices of oranges in a water tray. They fill and empty cups, splash their hands in the water and squeeze the orange slices.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop a consistent approach to teaching children about the importance of good hygiene practices n support children to develop their understanding of diversity and learn about what they have in common and what makes them individual and unique.

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.
