GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Charfield for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2025. Open since 2011, with 63 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 South Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in South Gloucestershire 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
Parents say children build a real connection with the caring staff at this nursery.
They say that staff know the children so well and that they are good at meeting the children's needs, challenging them and making sure children are safe.
Children's emotional development progresses very well. They learn to understand their feelings and emotions through conscientious work completed by their key persons and staff working with them. Staff offer timely, sensitive and perceptive support for children that need extra help to understand expectations and follow safety boundaries. They liaise closely with parents, helping children through transitions and changes at home, asking parents what can they do together to support their child.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend links with all the other settings that children attend, gaining information to inform planning and help provide a consistent approach for children n enhance the planning and adaptation of activities, consistently extending children's involvement and learning as much as possible.

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.
