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 Bracknell Forest
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bracknell Forest 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 are warmly welcomed by staff into this caring and nurturing environment.
They quickly form secure attachments with the experienced staff team. Children are happy to approach staff for support, when needed, demonstrating that they feel confident, safe and secure. The manager and staff have high expectations for children and provide an exciting and well-organised learning environment. They want all children to be confident, independent and inquisitive learners when they move on to the next stage of their education. Older children are motivated to investigate the stimulating and adaptable resources, such as sand, water, play dough and construction sets. They become highly engaged and demonstrate creativity as they play. For instance, children work cooperatively to create a bus using crates and other materials. They develop their imaginations and share their ideas as they enjoy putting on a show for the staff and their friends. Younger children learn new words and begin to share resources. They explore sensory materials outside and discover concepts such as 'floating' and 'sinking'.
Staff are good role models and have a calming and respectful attitude towards children. In turn, children behave well and are beginning to manage their feelings.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff's understanding of the curriculum intent for the younger children so that their teaching is consistently focused on what they want children to learn n support staff to help the younger and quieter children to consistently share their views, building their confidence and communication even further.

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.
