Presmere Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Woodbridge for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2023. Open since 1991, with 23 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 Suffolk
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Suffolk 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 and babies feel at home and comfortable at this well-established nursery.
The staff create a calm, happy and well-organised atmosphere. Outside, children get lots of fresh air and exercise. Staff engage children in games which encourage them to run around and negotiate spaces with their friends. Babies receive sensitive care, including plenty of cuddles from staff who understand their needs and how to support their learning. There are always staff on hand to chat to, support and guide children as they play and learn. Consequently, children's behaviour towards one another is very positive and episodes of unwanted behaviour are very rare. A dedicated member of staff plans and prepares healthy, balanced, freshly prepared cooked meals on site. Children are taught good table manners and learn to use their cutlery well during social mealtimes.
Children benefit from warm and positive interactions with adults and each other.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support younger children to engage more with planned learning opportunities, to allow them to make their own unique contributions more often n refine and develop the already good curriculum to raise the ambition within it and support staff with understanding how to deliver it even more effectively.

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.
