Springboard Opportunity Group- Clevedon
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Clevedon for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2022. Open since 1993, with 24 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 North Somerset
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North Somerset 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 safe and secure in this exceptional pre-school. They thrive in an environment that is tailored to meet their specific learning needs. Highly motivated staff members are extremely caring and nurturing. They are led by an inspirational management team.
Children enter the pre-school with their parents and settle quickly on arrival. They are provided with activities that motivate them and children are encouraged to settle in their own time. Key persons provide an opportunity for parents to talk to them about their child, which supports the transition from home to the pre-school very well.
Staff have high expectations for every child. They adapt their learning environment to promote children's communication skills at every opportunity. Children are encouraged to ask for what they want using a range of communication methods, such as the Picture Exchange Communication System, Makaton, words and gestures. Staff are highly responsive to children when interacting with them, which helps children to feel valued.

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.
