Langham Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Oakham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:45 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2022. Open since 2018, with 37 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 Rutland
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Rutland 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 arrive at the nursery with smiles on their faces. They happily say 'goodbye'
to their parents at the playground gate and take the hand of a member of staff to walk to the nursery. Children have good manners. Toddlers say 'thank you' when they are offered drinks and snacks. Children are learning social skills and to be independent. They cooperate with each other, share and take turns. Pre-school children help each other as they dress up as builders and support their friends to put on high-visibility jackets and hard hats. They work together to draw a plan of their construction site and to lift and carry tyres and planks of wood to build with.
Children are learning the skills that they need for the next stage in learning and development. Staff encourage them to develop their resilience and persist when they struggle with activities and tasks. Staff reassure children when they get frustrated at not being able to put on and fasten their shoes. Staff praise children for trying and reward their efforts. Children are developing their communication and language skills. Staff plan many opportunities for children to sing songs and rhymes. Toddlers demonstrate that they know the words and actions to familiar songs. Pre-school children confidently take turns to choose their favourite song for the whole group to sing.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support children to develop their understanding of diversity and learn about what we have in common and what makes us individual and unique n provide children with explanations consistently, to help their understanding of potential hazards so that they learn to assess risk and to keep themselves safe.

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.
