Landulph Under Fives
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Saltash for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2024. Open since 1991, with 17 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 Cornwall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cornwall 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 eagerly enter this welcoming pre-school, where staff greet them warmly.
They quickly find their name cards for self-registration and decide whether to 'highfive', 'wave', 'hug' or 'find a friend' when entering. Children can also choose to say goodbye to their parents at the 'waving window' before settling quickly into play.
Staff plan their curriculum well to ensure that children make progress. For example, staff introduce new words to increase children's vocabulary and mathematical knowledge. Children learn the names of 3D shapes, such as cylinders, and talk about how an egg looks like an oval. Staff consistently encourage children to count.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan and implement group activities to meet children's individual developmental stages to help them understand and remember what they have learned n give children sufficient time to answer questions, particularly quieter children, to enable them to participate and develop their confidence further.

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
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.
