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 Leicestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicestershire 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 are happy and settled in this friendly and welcoming playgroup. They are greeted at the door and quickly settle into engaging activities with welcoming staff.
Children work together as they build tracks and push vehicles along the track. They use their imaginative and role play skills as they play in a pretend hair salon, where they brush and straighten the mannequin's hair.
Children explore large-scale construction. Assisted by a supportive adult, they look at instructions and work out how to join the pieces together to form shapes. They carefully attach pieces of jigsaw puzzles together. They look at the pictures on the box and use their problem-solving skills to match the pictures. Children develop their large motor skills as they climb and balance on the ship climbing apparatus outdoors. They pretend to fix the ship, selecting a range of tools, commenting that,
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve strategies when working in partnership with parents to ensure that parents are informed of their child's ongoing progress n review daily routines, so that children have fewer interruptions and are more engaged in their learning.

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.
