Kids Planet West Hagbourne
Good★ 4.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Didcot 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2023. Open since 2013, with 78 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 Oxfordshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Oxfordshire 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 demonstrate that they feel safe and are happy at the nursery. They are warmly welcomed by kind and nurturing staff, who are on hand to help them settle quickly. Children show that they are motivated to learn as they relax to activities that provide them with a good range of learning experiences. For example, preschool children enjoy mark-making activities, which support them in letter recognition for preparation to write their own names. Staff engage well with the children and provide an environment which is rich in language. For instance, all staff read books to the children with great expression and enthusiasm. This helps to captivate children and maintain their attention.
Children show they have secure relationships with each other and the staff. For example, babies and younger children show that staff are important to them as they cuddle them for comfort as needed. Children in the pre-toddler and toddler room are beginning to form good relationships and play well together. For instance, staff remind children to be kind and they help them to develop negotiation skills as they take turns when riding on bicycles. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the monitoring of staff practice to focus more sharply on developing staff's knowledge and skills n build on the information shared with parents even further to help them support their children's learning even more consistently 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.
