GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Falmouth for children from birth to 8+, open 08:30 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2022. Open since 2005, with 37 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 Cornwall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cornwall 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. They settle in quickly on arrival and choose what they want to play with. Children learn to be independent in their daily routines.
They wash their hands before snack time and choose their own name label, cup and plate and take them to the table. Staff greet children with a 'welcome to my café' and children decide which fruit they would like to eat. Staff cut the fruit and highlight two halves and four quarters of the apple or orange. Children carefully use knives to spread butter onto bread and know the routine of the café well. Staff remind children to use their 'pouring hand and tipping hand' when lifting the milk jug. Children have good manners and are very behaved. They say 'please' and
'thank you' often and happily wait their turn to go into the 'café' for their snack.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to improve communication with younger children, to allow children time to gather their thoughts and respond to questions n review staff organisation during lunchtime to ensure children receive quality engagement and interaction from 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.
