A day nursery in Weedon 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 July 2024. Open since 2007, with 31 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 West Northamptonshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in West Northamptonshire 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 cared for by welcoming and nurturing staff. They arrive with big smiles on their faces and confidently separate from their parents. Children settle quickly and engage in their chosen activity. Staff are attentive to all the children's needs and provide them with cuddles when needed. The ambitious curriculum promotes children's confidence, independence, and positive attitudes to learning. Children develop close bonds with staff who know them well. Toddlers and babies giggle when staff blow bubbles. They repeat the words 'bubbles' and 'pop' modelled by staff as they try and catch them. Staff support their physical development as they learn to drink from cups and feed themselves independently from a young age.
Children learn to behave well. The staff plan the environment to support their development and interests. This contributes to children making good progress in their learning. Children develop friendships within the nursery. They play together well and enjoy helping each other. Even the youngest children instinctively help their friends. For example, saying 'be careful' to their friends as they take their hand to go down the stairs together. Staff teach children kindness and respect. This is reflected in the children's interactions as they learn to share and take turns with their friends.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide additional challenges for the older and most-able children to extend their learning further n strengthen the arrangements for staff coaching, support and training to support their teaching to a consistently high level.

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.
