What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
There is funding available for children the term following their third birthday and some funding for 2 year olds who meet certain criteria. This means that children who qualify for funding receive 15 hours of free childcare. We also offer 30 hour funding for families who meet certain criteria.
What childcare usually costs in Windsor and Maidenhead
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Windsor and Maidenhead 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 enjoy their time at the warm, welcoming and well-organised pre-school.
The well-qualified and experienced staff successfully incorporate children's interests into well-planned activities. For instance, children show an interest in exploring insects and bugs in the garden. Staff provide resources such as magnifying glasses and pots to enable children to collect the bugs and investigate them further.
Children delight in catching bugs and listening to stories about them. They comment that a spider's web is almost invisible.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to recognise when children who are new to the setting need extra emotional support to join in with activities n continue to strengthen partnerships with parents by focusing more sharply on strategies to extend children's learning, including further developing children's existing love of reading at home.

Still missing for Lilliput Learners
- What it costs
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
