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 Cambridgeshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cambridgeshire 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 attending this fun and exciting nursery receive the very best start to their education. They learn techniques that help them understand and regulate their emotions in different situations. For example, children openly talk about how they are feeling, and staff support them to be able to acknowledge their emotions. They practise mindfulness techniques, such as 'blowing candles' and 'smelling flowers', to encourage taking breaths. As a result of this, children are extremely self-assured and confident.
Children actively explore the well-resourced environment and eagerly share their learning experiences with members of staff. For example, children excitedly recall when they found a frog in the nursery garden and rehomed it in the nature reserve. Children demonstrate excellent skills in forming close friendships with their peers. For example, children take turns playing with dough. They make sure that others have as much as they do without prompt from an adult.
The fantastic garden space provides children with a range of rich experiences. They play enthusiastically with superhero capes on, while they build in the sandpit.

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.
