Park Hill Nursery Limited
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Tiverton for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2022, with 26 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 Devon
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Devon 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 happy and content at this nursery. Staff warmly welcome the children and their families, prioritising emotional well-being from the start. Consequently, children settle quickly on arrival and are eager to join their friends. Staff get to know each child well and follow their home routines. The interactions between staff and children are caring and supportive. For example, when they notice that young children are tired, staff offer cuddles and soothe them by rubbing their backs.
Staff have clear expectations for children's behaviour. They explain the nursery rules to the children and help them to understand the impact of their actions. For example, they remind children to walk when inside and explain why this is important, discouraging them from hurting themselves or others. This helps children to understand what is expected of them and respond positively. Children receive plenty of positive praise for their creative work, helping their friends and being polite.
There is a strong literacy curriculum. Leaders and staff emphasise children's literacy skills and foster their love for books. Staff extend learning after reading. For example, when finishing 'The Hungry Caterpillar,' children explore fruit kebabs to learn about textures and healthy eating. The lending library enables children to continue their learning at home.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend opportunities that enhance children's independence and allow them to complete tasks for themselves n support staff to recognise when to adapt their teaching, to regain children's engagement when they lose focus during their play.

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.
