This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Derbyshire 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
Children arrive eager to start their day in this inviting and stimulating pre-school environment. They receive a warm welcome from the kind and attentive staff.
Children hang up their belongings on their own named peg and find their name on the self-registration board. Staff praise children for their amazing creations, for example when they bring in their own mini garden for a local gardening competition. They acknowledge children's achievements, helping children to feel valued and supporting their emotional well-being.
Staff teach children how to keep themselves safe using different tools. This results in children competently using scissors, tape dispensers and a wide range of craft materials. When children finish their artwork, they take it to their own named clipboard on the wall. Children are proud of what they create, and they comment kindly on other people's work. As a result, children remain highly engaged and behave well together.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen supervision arrangements to support staff's professional development to further improve outcomes for all children n improve how staff include quieter and less-confident children in group activities so that they benefit from the intended learning.

Still missing for Newton Solney Pre School
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £12.00 a session 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.
