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 Hampshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hampshire 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 arrive happy and eager to learn at this welcoming nursery. They form secure relationships with the caring staff, who are responsive to their needs. New children settle quickly into the routines of the day due to the tailored settling-in process. Children readily engage, on their own or with friends, in a variety of exciting activities. This helps to further develop their interests.
Children learn to adopt healthy lifestyles from the start. They learn about the effect of exercise on their bodies and enjoy participation in physical exercises run by an external sports coach. During these sessions, children show great control and coordination as they use different sports equipment. Children know that washing their hands before mealtimes helps to stop the spread of infection. They thoroughly enjoy the nutritious and well-balanced meals from a variety of cultures represented at the nursery. This helps to promote good health and well-being.
Children demonstrate high expectations of behaviour set by staff. Older children show a sense of responsibility and willingly support the younger ones in carrying out certain tasks, such as inviting them into their play. Children are encouraged to use sign language as a way to communicate with others. Younger children confidently use 'please' and 'thank you' signs. This assists children in becoming courteous towards others.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - review planning of group activities to consistently match and support individual children's needs, to allow them to achieve their best n manage noise levels in the pre-school room, to enhance children's levels of engagement and ability to fully contribute to conversations.

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.
