What childcare usually costs in Warwickshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warwickshire 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 into the nursery by staff. They communicate confidently with their friends and adults. Children excitedly share where they have been during the weekend at circle time and staff respond positively. Children develop strong language skills through joining in with songs and stories. For example, they successfully match the rhyming words such as 'hen' and 'pen' from familiar stories. Children experience activities where they can connect with the natural world around them. For example, when outdoors they lie on the grass and are encouraged to listen to the sounds around them and talk about how they make them feel. Children learn about their emotions and name these. This enables them to learn empathy and express themselves.
Children independently explore a wide range of activities that build on their knowledge. They develop their mathematical skills when counting the spots on ladybirds. Children learn to take appropriate risks to develop their physical skills.
For example, when staff create an obstacle course, children carefully balance over the crates. Children learn to be part of a diverse community as they learn about each other's cultural celebrations. They proudly celebrate their individual achievements with recognition from staff, which builds on their self-esteem and confidence.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to recognise and build on opportunities for children to develop their critical thinking skills n review the organisation of mealtimes to ensure consistent expectations of routines are embedded.

Still missing for Little Gregs Pre-School
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £6.50 an hour still the rate? 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.
