Ofsted report card Mar 2026Takes funded hoursBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Hereford for babies from 5 months up to school age, open 07:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They take the funded hours. They do not publish prices, so ask. Inspected under Ofsted's new report card in March 2026. Open since 2013, with 59 places.
What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
15 hours of funded childcare support from the term after your child turns 9 months old until they start school; from the term after your child's 3rd birthday, this can be combined with the 15-hour entitlement for all 3 and 4-year-olds to make up 30 hours of funded support over 38 weeks of the year; if your child is 2 years old and receiving some additional forms of support, they may be entitled to.

Where it is
HR2 6JTWhat Ofsted found, area by area
Since November 2025 Ofsted gives a standard in each of seven areas rather than one overall grade. Expected standard means it is doing what it should.
What the inspector found
One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

Still missing for Lake View Nursery Ltd
- What it costs
- Meals
- Nappies
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
