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 Leicestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicestershire 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 are warmly welcomed at this homely and diverse nursery. They are respectful and curious learners that are supported by experienced and warm staff.
Children take turns in the mud kitchen. They read a familiar menu that has been created to reflect what the children eat at home. Alongside an encouraging member of staff, they search for ingredients such as coconut milk and black beans.
They use their mathematical skills to measure using a jug. Younger children explore sensory exploration in the sand. Supportive and kind staff support them as they wiggle their toes in delight.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - further establish effective ways to support staff practice, to help them build on their already good skills and knowledge and ensure the highest standards of education at all times n continue to support staff to provide children with enough time to connect their ideas and think about how to respond to questions.

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.
