Good★ 3.4 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Scunthorpe 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 January 2025. Open since 2017, with 62 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 North Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North 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
Leaders and staff build strong relationships with children and families in this homefrom-home nursery. Staff plan tailored next steps in learning for children to ensure that they continue to meet their milestones. Leaders and staff put in place early support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They work with external advisers and signpost families to valuable support and community groups. Parents and carers offer high praise to staff and leaders for the ways in which they support children's confidence and development.
Staff enthusiastically join in with children's play. This promotes children's positive attitudes towards their learning. Children are invited by staff to be 'safety spies'.
They wear superhero capes and masks and help staff to check the setting for any dangers or hazards. This supports children to learn about how to keep themselves safe.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review and improve daily routines and transition times to ensure the best use of staff's time in consistently meeting the needs of children n put into place a targeted programme of professional development to further raise the skills and knowledge of staff.

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.
