Kids Create Nursery School
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Swindon for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2022. Open since 2014, with 64 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 Swindon
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Swindon 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 thrive at this warm, friendly and safe setting. Staff are good role models for children and have high expectations for children's behaviour. Children behave very well. They form good relationships with staff and peers. Children are confident to share their views, likes and dislikes. For example, they tell the inspector, 'This nursery is nice. I like my friends and playing. Mostly, I like playing outside.'
Staff encourage children to consider ways to develop their understanding of how to look after themselves, living things and their environment. Children are encouraged to recycle and avoid waste. They learn about the impact on the environment. For example, staff explain how the timer switch on lights helps save electricity. Children confidently seek out each other, staff and visitors to share their experiences. They push over logs to show the inspector where the ants live. Children then excitedly take the inspector to see 'where the squirrels and the birds eat their dinner'.
Children care for living things and share what they have learned. For example, they say, 'This is the bird collection, these are the food trays and water and this is a little bird bath. We have birds and squirrels and a robin; they have orange at the bottom of their neck.' Children are engaged and enthusiastic learners and display good attitudes to learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review further how staff can support the less confident and quieter children to develop their speaking skills as effectively as possible n consider the balance of planned group activities and those that children choose for themselves to maximise all children's 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.
