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 Coventry
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Coventry 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 at this nursery immerse themselves in the fun, educational opportunities offered by staff. They benefit from a well-designed curriculum, which aims to prepare children for their next stage of learning. Children are very confident and independent. Staff encourage them to make choices in their play and complete tasks, such as handwashing and using the toilet themselves.
Children enjoy the multitude of opportunities provided for them to enhance their physical skills. Staff offer a free-flow learning environment, where children can choose to play indoor or outdoors throughout the day. Outdoors, they have access to a climbing wall, a raised tree-house den, and a purpose-built soft-play hut. Staff support children to take risks and navigate the space around them. They encourage children to climb on equipment and walk over large soft blocks, which supports the development of their gross motor skills. Children use the outdoor area frequently and benefit from spending time in fresh air.
Children's behaviour is impressive. They show a keenness in the activities which are planned for them and learn to take turns and play together. They make friends and develop strong relationships with staff.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to understand how to implement learning intentions into activities more precisely, so that children make even better progress n support staff to recognise and respond to children's personal needs more efficiently.

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.
