Nurture Day Nursery & Pre School
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Newquay for children from birth to 8+, open 07:45 to 17:45, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2024. Open since 2011, with 42 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 Cornwall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cornwall 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 have high levels of well-being. They arrive happy and excited to see their friends. Children show they feel safe and secure. They settle quickly and have positive relationships with staff who know them well.
Staff gather pre-school-age children together to start the day. They ask them to recall what they are learning about this week. The children remember what they have learned and say 'a farm'. Staff show the children two different storybooks about a farm. They teach these children about choice and democracy. Staff ask them to stand by which book they would like to read. The children vote for the storybook they would like to hear. They know that their voice is important and feel included.
Leaders have improved how they monitor the implementation of the curriculum to ensure that staff meet children's learning and development needs. Since the last inspection, leaders have introduced peer-on-peer observations to coach and support staff practice. Leaders notice this has made a positive difference in how staff communicate with children. For example, staff use effective strategies to improve babies' communication and language skills. Staff repeat words back to babies and mimic their sounds to strengthen babies' early speaking skills. They give babies time to respond and, as a result, babies begin to learn more words.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff knowledge and understanding of how to support toddlers' and pre-school-age children's speech so they learn correct vocabulary n tailor group activities so that all pre-school-age children can contribute to discussions and extend their learning further.

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
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.
