A day nursery in Bircotes for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They take the funded hours. They do not publish prices, so ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2024. Open since 2021, with 80 places.
What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
15 hours early education per week, term time, for all 3 and 4 year olds; 15 hours early education per week, term time for eligible 2 year olds; Extended entitlement up to 30 hours per week for children 9 months to 4 years with working parents.
Worth knowing. The nursery does not do term time only contracts so will stretch the 30 hours over 52 weeks. Additional hours above the statutory 15/30 hours are chargeable at the standard nursery rate. Meals during funded hours are charged at £3.00 each for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but as an alternative you can provide a packed lunch.
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 to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
