Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Early Years funding for 3 and 4 year olds; nursery funding available for babies from 9 months old.
Worth knowing. Children who claim the Early Years funding for 3 and 4 year olds will be charged a voluntary small consumables charge each funded day.
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
Toddlers and pre-school children have a passion for books. Upon arrival, they choose a favourite storybook and settle down to read together. Staff read storybooks with enthusiasm. This ignites the children's wonder and imagination.
Babies have settled relationships with staff and they feel safe. They love to be sociable and gather around to have milk and fruit for snack. Staff encourage babies to say 'more' and 'thank you', and they help them to hold their cups. All children are kind and respectful to one another. Staff encourage babies to 'use your kind hands'. Babies respond by stroking their friends' backs. Older children love to see their friends and siblings when they join for lunch, and they hug each other.
There is an effective curriculum in place, which staff share with parents regularly.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide more opportunities for toddler and pre-school children to count and use mathematical language in their play, to further their knowledge of numbers and mathematical concepts n plan and organise ways for toddler and pre-school children to be more independent in routine tasks during the day, to build on their autonomy skills further.

Still missing for Little Ones at Bovey Tracey
- Youngest age taken
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £82.50 a day 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.
- 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.
