GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Scunthorpe for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 June 2024. Open since 2006, with 24 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 North Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North Lincolnshire 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
The manager greets parents and children warmly when they arrive at the nursery.
They engage in conversation, which makes them feel valued and welcomed. Staff create warm and nurturing relationships with children. The nursery has a good range of resources that support children's development in all areas of learning.
Children choose which activities they wish to participate in. This promotes their independence and sense of self. Staff provide positive role modelling. This supports children to behave well. They share resources and ensure that all their friends are included in their play.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to consistently make better use of their interactions in order to challenge all children's thinking and extend their learning n further develop staff's use of assessment to plan learning opportunities that support individual children's next steps in learning.

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.
