What it costs

Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.

Funded hours

If you are eligible for funding you will be able to claim this in the term following your child reaching 9 months of age.

What childcare usually costs in Hampshire

£6.50an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£6.20an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

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 the inspector found

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

This setting re-registered. It replaced “Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool” at the same address, which had been registered since 16 April 2018. A change of owner or legal entity gives Ofsted a brand new record, so the inspections below may only cover the time since then.

    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    Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.

    • What does it cost, all in? 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.
