A day nursery in Nottingham for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2024. Open since 2022, with 40 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 Nottinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottinghamshire 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 confidently enter this inviting nursery, where they are warmly greeted by the staff. Children discover a range of interesting activities that staff have carefully planned. For example, they delight in jumping in puddles, experimenting with water, and smelling different herbs while learning about the natural world. Staff promote communication and language as they introduce vocabulary alongside new concepts. For example, when children use water, equipment and herbs to make potions, staff introduce the words fragrance and sinking and floating.
Children are polite and treat one another with respect. They learn to wait for their
friends to be ready, before starting to eat their lunch. Staff help children to express when they are uncomfortable, this helps to keep them safe. Staff promote a healthy lifestyle. They encourage children to be physically active and to eat a healthy balanced diet.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen interactions to support children to sustain high levels of concentration.

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.
