Hanslope Park Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Hanslope for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2022. Open since 2005, with 56 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 Milton Keynes
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Milton Keynes from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Children are safe and secure, and they display trusting bonds with the kind and nurturing staff team. New children and babies are supported well to settle into the nursery routine and immediately seek the reassurance of their key worker if they become unsure or upset. This supports children to gain confidence, and children are well behaved.
All children have regular opportunities to read stories and develop a love of books.
Babies enjoy sitting with staff, and when asked, they correctly point out what they can see on the pages. Older children choose their favourite stories to look at independently. Staff read enthusiastically and leave pauses in the stories as they read. Children delight as they recall their favourite parts and demonstrate understanding as they fill in the missing parts of the story.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - enhance opportunities for children to maintain their concentration and exploration during the times when staff leave activities to carry out routine tasks n refine the professional development programme for staff to improve the quality of teaching to the highest level.

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.
