Good★ 3.5 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Nottingham 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 October 2024. Open since 1997, with 75 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 Nottingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottingham 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 have opportunities to clean their teeth, helping to promote oral health.
Staff give them their own toothbrush and toothpaste. They help children to understand that they need to clean their teeth for a set amount of time, ensuring that they do this thoroughly. Children say that they need to clean their teeth because they are dirty. Children receive gentle reminders from staff to show positive behaviours. One example of this is when staff ask younger children to use their walking feet when they begin to run indoors. Children who speak English as an additional language are supported to have a sense of belonging in the nursery.
For instance, staff use children's home language when they greet them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to extend their skills and knowledge of how to develop better practice for sleeping children n strengthen information sharing with all parents and keep them informed about their children's development and how they can contribute to this at home.

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.
