What childcare usually costs in Buckinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Buckinghamshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Children arrive happy and ready to learn in this warm and welcoming setting. They find exciting and inviting activities to engage in as they settle in for their day.
Children seek out their friends and particularly enjoy imaginative role play. They share ideas and take turns to listen to each other and take the lead in their game.
For example, two girls talk about their game and who will be mum and who will be dad. They move across the room to pick up their 'baby' from preschool.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further develop children's independence in their personal care routines.

Still missing for Maids Moreton Pre-School
- Meals
- Nappies
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £51.60 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
