A day nursery in Nuneaton for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2025. Open since 2024, with 29 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 Warwickshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warwickshire 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 and carers drop off and collect their children in the entrance area of the nursery. They receive a warm greeting and staff make time to talk and share information about the children and their day. The staff are kind and caring, and they are alert to children's emotional well-being. They respond to any minor upset and provide comfort and reassure any children who may become upset.
Staff talk to the children and praise them for their good behaviour. Staff lead by example and provide children with simple explanations of how their behaviour may affect others. This encourages children to behave well and play together. Older children are encouraged to talk about their feelings. In the morning, they talk about how they are feeling and why. They consider what might change this if they are feeling sad or angry and then choose a corresponding 'colour monster' to place their name on.
The curriculum is designed to teach all children the skills that they will need to be successful in their next stage of learning. Staff work in partnership with parents to gather information about each child and what they know and can do. Accurate assessments of each child's development provide staff with a plan for children's next steps. They use this information to challenge children effectively and build on the skills they have. As a result, all children make good progress.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop further children's understanding of the wide range of communities and families outside of their own experience n support staff to consider the use of equipment that follows the sequence of children's development more effectively.

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.
