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 it is like to attend
Children are relaxed and happy in the nursery. Parents comment that their children settle quickly and are excited to see staff when they arrive in the morning. Babies who are mobile are encouraged to explore their environment. They are confident to approach adults for comfort and reassurance when needed. Staff encourage babies to develop their physical skills as they pour and empty coloured rice into different containers. Toddlers use their imagination and creativity as they pretend to make cakes with play dough. Staff support and encourage them to roll, mould and shape the play dough with their hands.
Throughout the nursery, children are encouraged to celebrate their own heritage and that of each other. Pre-school children talk freely with staff about their families and the experiences they have at home. Different family backgrounds are valued and respected. Parents bring in items from home, such as clothes for special occasions, and the children are excited to talk about them with their friends. Preschool children focus on activities in small groups and engage well. They remain attentive and interested. For example, they talk about weddings they have attended as they design and make cardboard cut-out wedding outfits. Children learn about the world around them by going on a wide range of trips with staff. For example, they visit the local community farm and go on a train ride to the seaside.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure staff explain to children the reason why their behaviour is acceptable or not safe, to help children to learn what behaviour is wanted n provide parents with information and ideas to enable them to extend their children's learning and development at home.

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.
