What childcare usually costs in Bath and North East Somerset

What it is like to attend
Children are safe and secure in this nursery, which staff centre around the children's needs. They build positive relationships with peers and familiar staff, who they enjoy interacting with. Children are very confident to explore and make independent choices in their play, knowing that staff are close by for support when needed.
The provider and staff construct and deliver a broad, well-sequenced curriculum that is consistent throughout the nursery. Staff focus on preparing children for their next stage of their learning so they can be independent and ready for the move to school. Staff support babies to learn to identify and put on their wellington boots, and they help toddlers learn to keep themselves healthy when they wash their hands before they eat. Pre-school children know the routines well. For example, after snack, they find their coats, put them on independently and line up ready to go in the garden.
Children display excellent behaviour and positive attitudes to their learning. Preschool children kindly remind their friends 'we don't run indoors', and children respect their friends and listen to their guidance. Younger children play together with excitement and learn to take turns during group activities. Children are keen to have a go and show persistence to achieve. Staff praise children's achievements and empower them to keep trying.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance partnerships with parents to ensure all parents feel fully informed about their children's progress and how they can support this 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.
