Littleworld Clatford Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Andover for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2024. Open since 2014, with 55 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 Hampshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hampshire 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 have designed a well-sequenced curriculum that focuses on the development of children's social and emotional skills. Adults encourage very young children to move their bodies with control. Staff teach toddlers how to identify feelings while helping them follow rules that support positive attitudes to group learning. Staff explore with pre-school children how to understand their own emotions, including how their feelings affect others. These high expectations for developing children's social skills gives children the ability to express themselves appropriately and contributes to their positive behaviour and motivation.
All staff have helped create a positive, inclusive environment where all children and adults are celebrated. Staff carefully plan for and meet the additional needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), which supports them to make good progress. Staff consistently seek the views of children and ask them about their wants, needs and decisions. Adults are excellent role models and create strong bonds with their key children. They show children how to treat each other with respect and kindness. As a result, children demonstrate the social skills to support their friends when they struggle and to welcome new peers when they first start. Superb staff support ensures children embrace their time at the setting and contributes to their exemplary behaviour and outstanding attitudes to learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop a more consistent approach to helping children build on their personal hygiene skills.

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.
