Knights Templar Community Church School and Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Watchet for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 17:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2015, with 60 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 Somerset
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in 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
Young children are warmly greeted by caring staff and they separate from their parents with ease. They eagerly explore and show high levels of curiosity. For instance, children investigate pine cones and balls of ice while adults talk to them about what they feel like. Children develop confidence in their physical abilities, as they climb, balance and learn to navigate steps. They beam at visitors as they achieve these tasks, showing pride in their accomplishments.
Children form trusting attachments with the staff. The kind and attentive staff give children praise for waiting, sharing and being kind. Staff teach children the importance of using 'gentle hands' so that they learn the effects of their actions on others. Children are extremely responsive to the staff and they behave very well for their age.
Young children benefit from a curriculum that has been created with their needs in mind. Experienced and knowledgeable staff understand how to assess each child's progress and development and how to use the curriculum to move them on in their learning. All children make good progress and are well prepared for the next stages in their learning. The setting shares information with parents about their children's progress, and offers guidance on how to support their children's learning at home.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support children to learn to do manageable tasks for themselves to help develop their independence skills n ensure children have the opportunity to learn the importance of handwashing in their daily routines.

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.
