Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Nottingham 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 August 2024. Open since 1997, with 63 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 Nottinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottinghamshire 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 enjoy their time at this welcoming nursery. The caring staff team develops warm and nurturing relationships with children. Babies cosy up to staff as they look at a touch-and-feel book about a cow. Staff introduce new vocabulary, such as
'silky' and 'smooth', as they encourage babies to feel the cow's ears. Babies giggle as staff tickle their noses with the cow's tail. Staff help babies lift the flaps in the book. Babies excitedly say 'too-wit too-woo' when they find a picture of an owl.
Staff name other animals, and babies readily make the correct animal noise. This helps babies to develop an early love of books.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- embed further the already good professional development staff receive, to help improve the consistency of staff interactions n support staff to consistently follow the curriculum so that purposeful opportunities take place, particularly before and after mealtimes.

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.
