A day nursery in Coventry 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2023. Open since 2015, with 61 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
Staff welcome children warmly as they arrive at the setting. Children are eager to get involved in their play and are delighted to see their friends. Leaders place emphasis on a robust settling-in procedure that effectively supports children's emotional well-being. As a result of these thoughtful arrangements, babies and children demonstrate feelings of safety and security across the setting.
Children are motivated and excited to learn. Staff enable children to experiment and explore using a whole range of materials and resources. Children in the preschool room are particularly engaged and focused as they make play dough. They skilfully squeeze and press the dispensers to add foam and colouring to their creations. Staff introduce new vocabulary to describe the consistency of the dough.
Children use newly acquired language in the context of their play. For example, they describe the dough as 'squidgy and squelchy'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide development opportunities to help staff to adapt their teaching during their interactions with children, so that they consistently support children's listening, thinking and speaking skills.

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.
