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 Derbyshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Derbyshire 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 warmly welcomed by a friendly, nurturing, and long-established staff team. Children develop trusting relationships with the staff who care for them.
They accept hugs and reassurance to help them settle. Children show that they feel safe and secure. Physical development is promoted in the nursery. Babies concentrate for sustained periods when they explore spaghetti. They are curious about this new texture and try to pick it up carefully with their fingers. Toddlers have fun painting the wheels on toy cars. They roll the cars on paper and explore the marks that they have made. In addition, they enjoy cutting the dough as they pretend to make dinner for the staff. These activities help to strengthen the small muscles in their hands in readiness for early mark making.
Children have daily opportunities to spend time in the woodland area. They are supported to learn about self-care by getting dressed in appropriate clothing to keep them warm and dry. Once ready, they head to the woodland and pond area, learning about safety. For example, they know to line up with a partner and carefully look and listen for cars as they cross the car park. Children know to lie down at the edge of the pond. They learn to behave well and show respect for staff, the learning environment, visitors and each other.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance younger children's independent access to books and quieter areas
- build on staff's questioning techniques to promote children's thinking skills and help them express their own ideas.

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.
