Little Incredibles
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Peterborough for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2023. Open since 2017, with 20 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 Cambridgeshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cambridgeshire 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 happy in this warm and inclusive environment. They arrive eager to explore with their friends and confidently join activities. Children have secure attachments with staff, which helps them to feel safe. Babies settle quickly as they enjoy cuddles from their key person for comfort and older children chat freely with staff about the plans for the day ahead.
Children enjoy exploring a wide range of experiences, both indoors and out. Staff plan experiences to build on children's learning and understanding, which helps to support children's positive attitude to learning. For example, children explore oats following the story of 'Goldilocks'. They scoop and pour and use scales as they learn concepts such as balance and quantity. Staff follow children's interests and engage in conversations with them to promote turn taking in conversation. They encourage children to be curious. For instance, younger children explore texture as they combine materials such as water and cornflour.
Children behave well. Staff support children from an early age to learn to share toys and take turns. They provide consistent praise for children's kindness and act as positive role models. Children receive consistent boundaries from staff, which helps them to understand the behaviour expectations. Children show care towards each other. For instance, older children fetch drinking water for younger children and share equipment as they play.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on the already good practice and support staff to develop their interactions with children, allowing children time to share their thoughts and ideas.

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.
