A day nursery in Dover for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2023. Open since 2004, with 102 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 Kent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kent 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 and babies are happy and confident. Staff support children to settle well and place a strong focus on children's happiness. For example, they provide an effective transition procedure when children first begin at the setting. Children's emotional well-being is well supported. They form positive relationships with staff.
Babies are confident and at ease in the nursery. They babble and giggle as staff interact with them. Toddlers delight in exploring sensory play activities, such as sand and soil. They show curiosity and become immersed in their play as they mix mud and water, pretending to make cakes and other meals. Older children take part in active activities. They practise their balance and coordination as they play tennis or navigate across the obstacle course they have created in the garden.
Children receive an abundance of encouragement and praise, which helps to boost their self-esteem and confidence in their abilities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve staff interactions with younger children to model the use of language, extend vocabulary and support their communication and language skills further n provide further guidance for staff to manage group activities more effectively, to ensure that all children remain fully 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.
