A pre-school in Doncaster for children from birth to 8+, open 08:55 to 15:10, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2023. Open since 2013, with 28 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 Doncaster
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Doncaster 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 thrive in the care of the dedicated staff team. They are settled and extremely confident. Staff have high expectations for all children's behaviour. They teach children to show kindness and are excellent role models. Staff encourage children to share their toys and carefully intervene when some children struggle with this. Staff form positive relationships with children and their families. This helps children to feel safe and secure.
Staff place a focus on supporting children's communication and language in the setting's curriculum and ethos. Children enthusiastically join in with the story of
'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' outside. Staff encourage children to use their imaginations as they navigate obstacles to reach the bear. Children laugh and have great fun as they continue recalling and acting out the story, building on their language and vocabulary. Children cuddle up with staff to read their favourite book.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend children's learning opportunities to spark their interests in new learning experiences to further develop their skills and knowledge.

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.
