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 Suffolk
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Suffolk 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 highly motivated to explore and learn. They are curious and imaginative in their play. Children access a wealth of fun and interesting experiences that support them to make exceptional progress. They are immersed in a language-enriched environment. Children are introduced to new vocabulary at every opportunity, which builds on their knowledge of words. They use conversation as a way of sharing how they feel and a narrative in their play.
Children have embedded and consistent routines that help them to practise and master skills.
Children walk to the shops to buy ingredients for their cooking. They bake scones and then deliver them with cream and jam to the local care home. Children enjoy singing activities and conversations with the residents. They experience opportunities to cook and try foods from around the world. Children are highly imaginative. They make a burger during their role play and pretend to pour in ketchup and mustard. A child says, 'I will deliver it,' as they add it to a box for take away.

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.
