Little Legs Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Nr Grantham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2023. Open since 2010, with 32 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 Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lincolnshire 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 and confident, and staff continually develop this throughout the day. For example, at group times, staff sing to children and children sing back 'yes
I am' when asked if they are present. Staff support children to build a sense of pride. Children show staff what they achieve in play. Children say, 'look at my sandcastle' as they jump up and down. Staff acknowledge children's achievements and encourage children to praise each other. In the garden, children sit together and clap and cheer with staff when their friends get awards.
Staff clearly have positive relationships with children. For example, younger children take items to staff to show them. Children are comforted by their key person when needed. Staff genuinely enjoy the interactions that they have with children and are enthusiastic. This helps children to have positive attitudes to learning, and they engage for prolonged periods of time.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - support staff to identify quieter children, to enable them to fully take part in play experiences and activities n support staff to be consistent with their behavioural expectations, to ensure that children understand how they are expected to behave.

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.
