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 develop warm trusting relationships with staff, who are kind and caring.
For instance, babies cuddle with staff as they contentedly drink their milk and toddlers look to staff for reassurance. Children demonstrate they feel happy, safe and well cared for. They develop good levels of confidence and self-esteem and a willingness to try new activities. For instance, older children take steps along lowlevel wooden beams as they gain control in their physical abilities. Toddlers are confident to try new foods and particularly enjoy being creative. They experiment with play dough, adding natural resources to change the texture.
Children behave well. Pre-school children listen thoughtfully to each other's ideas as they discuss what they would like to play with. Babies watch their friends as they shake instruments. Children are aware of the rules and expectations of the nursery. They show high levels of motivation in their play and are valued by attentive staff. Children receive lots of opportunities to celebrate what makes them unique and learn about those who may be different from them. For example, they talk about where they live and learn new words to describe the type of house, they live in.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to fully implement the curriculum to ensure all children are learning as much as they can n review the organisation of larger group activities to ensure all children remain fully engaged and interested in their learning.

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.
