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 North Somerset
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North Somerset 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 form strong bonds with familiar adults. They receive regular cuddles and reassurance to help them feel safe and secure. Children enjoy a well-planned curriculum that meets their individual needs within a warm and welcoming environment. There are consistent practices throughout the nursery, which help children become familiar with the routines of the day. For example, all children are introduced to the same song, which reminds them it is time to tidy away and helps them to move onto the next activity.
All children participate enthusiastically in regular song and poetry activities to support their communication and language skills successfully. They make decisions about which songs to sing and choose instruments to accompany their chosen songs. Babies engage well and sway in time to the music. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive support to enable them to enjoy these opportunities in a way that meets their individual needs.
Babies are fascinated with the bubbles, showing excitement as staff encourage them to chase and pop them. They benefit from positive interactions from staff who provide good commentary to help babies build their vocabulary. Staff follow children's lead, extending their learning, for example, to make attempts to blow bubbles for themselves. Children are very proud of their achievements.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide young children with appropriate experiences to continue their learning as they prepare for mealtimes n develop further systems to support staff to develop and continue improving their 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.
