I Can Day Nurseries
Good★ 4.5 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Coventry for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2022. Open since 2012, with 150 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 Coventry
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Coventry 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 thoroughly enjoy their time at the setting. The environment is well resourced and children, including young babies, make their own independent choices about their learning and play. Staff are extremely attentive to children's needs and know them very well. This helps children to form strong relationships with staff and, consequently, children feel safe, happy and secure.
Children's development in communication and language, and physical skills are well supported and promoted throughout. Young babies have lots of opportunities to explore their large and bright environment. They can pull themselves up using lowlevel furniture as they take their first tentative steps. They play peekaboo with staff and giggle as they babble away. Toddlers are supported to gain independence.
They are encouraged to put their own coats on and self-serve food at lunchtime.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide more opportunities to challenge those children who are most able, to ensure that they make the very best progress n enhance the curriculum for mathematics even further, to provide children with opportunities to test and trial ideas through shape, weight and measure.

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.
