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 Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lincolnshire 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
Before children start attending the nursery, they are offered settling-in sessions.
This helps them to become familiar with the environment and the staff. Staff find out about children's interests and offer them familiar toys to help them feel emotionally secure. Children show positive relationships with staff, asking to cuddle them. Staff model positive behaviour. They give children gentle reminders to use good manners when they ask for things, such as paint. This encourages children to be polite.
Children have opportunities to learn how to care for animals, such as the nursery pet rabbit. They give the rabbit broccoli to eat, and are reminded by staff to use
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff in the pre-school room to strengthen the support they offer children to help them build on their imaginative experiences n strengthen opportunities to encourage all parents to be involved with their children's learning in the nursery and at home.

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.
