What childcare usually costs in West Berkshire

What it is like to attend
Throughout the nursery, children behave well and are friendly towards everyone.
They show an interest in the lives of others. When staff talk to them about their journey to work, children listen attentively and ask questions to learn more.
Children learn to develop the skills they need to resolve conflicts. When two children want the same car, they talk about sharing. With support from staff, children agree to have 'two more goes', which they emphasise by showing two fingers. After their turn, they pass the car to their friend.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to achieve their aim of providing consistently high-quality interactions to motivate children in their learning.

Still missing for Newbury Gardens Day Nursery
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £92.50 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.
