Kilton Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Worksop for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2023. Open since 2014, with 50 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 are warmly greeted by caring and friendly staff. The manager implements thorough settling-in procedures to welcome children and families into the nursery.
Staff are passionate about getting to know each unique child, helping them to meet children's care and learning needs successfully. This enables children to form close attachments with staff through an effective key worker system and supports them to feel safe and secure.
Children are excited to explore the environment that staff offer them. Staff have a secure knowledge of children and plan activities linked to their interests and experiences. This helps to capture and maintain children's attention. For example, staff adapted the home corner to reflect the children's experience of having a new puppy. Children recreate familiar events and pretend to feed and care for a toy dog. Staff sensitively support their play, asking questions to help extend their thinking and imagination.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - support staff to help children understand and manage their emotions when they become upset or frustrated.

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.
