Little Angels
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Tiverton for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2022. Open since 2005, with 30 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 Devon
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Devon 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 happily explore the environment and they become deeply engaged in their play. They choose from a range of well-planned learning opportunities which are based on their interests. Children demonstrate a positive attitude to their learning and they take pride in their achievements. They are well supported by dedicated, capable staff who know the children very well and meet their individual needs effectively. Children benefit from targeted support when staff identify areas for development. The setting is ambitious for all children and has a highly inclusive approach. The manager is keen for children to develop knowledge and to learn what makes each individual unique. All children make very good progress from their starting points.
Children are well behaved and responsive to the adults who care for them with kindness and respect. Staff skilfully teach them to share with their friends as they play together. Staff and children have warm and trusting relationships, which helps children to feel safe and secure. Children develop independence and they learn to take good care of themselves. For instance, older children put on their own shoes before going outside and young children feed themselves using forks with good dexterity.
The setting has very strong links with the local primary school and staff promote school readiness. This helps to prepare children with the necessary skills and knowledge for later learning. Parents are extremely happy with the progress their children make at the setting and report how the manager and her staff 'go above and beyond' to support their children.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure story time is uninterrupted to enable all children to benefit n consider the organisation of group activities so that children are not waiting for longer than necessary.

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.
