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 South Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in South Gloucestershire 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 enjoy their time at nursery. Staff are kind and nurturing.
They eagerly greet children and their parents when they arrive, helping children to settle quickly. Leaders and staff have high expectations for all children. They have developed a curriculum which focuses on providing children with a wide range of opportunities and experiences within their local community to enhance children's learning. Children of all ages take part in regular outings in their community. Older children enjoy trips to the local care home, and staff take children to the fruit market and on walks to the shops or to the park.
Children benefit from lots of interesting and creative resources and activities that staff provide. Children enjoy playing imaginatively as they make their own concoctions in the garden to create their own 'strawberry smoothies'. They talk to their friends about what it might taste like and what else they can add. The younger children enjoy using bottles to spray paint and explore the marks that they make. Children are curious and keen to explore. They enjoy being outside and exploring the garden. They develop their confidence and strength as they climb and balance on the equipment and staff set them challenges. Children form good relationships with the staff and with their peers, and staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. Staff set clear routines and boundaries, and this helps children to know what to expect next.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to develop the implementation of the curriculum in the toddler room n build on the good partnerships with parents to involve them more in supporting their children's learning at home.

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.
