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 Leicestershire

What it is like to attend
Children's positive behaviour and attitudes contribute to making this setting warm and friendly. Staff shape children's character by reinforcing important values, for example being kind. This is seen as children help their friends throughout the day.
At lunch, children politely say to staff, 'Excuse me, he hasn't got any water to drink, can he have some please?' Children show that they are happy through the secure relationships that they make with staff and their friends.
Children enjoy time spent learning outside. Staff consider what children need to learn as part of their overall development, and how this can be extended in the garden. Some children gather around weighing scales and investigate how they work. They develop their mathematical knowledge about what is light and what is heavy. They explore with a member of staff and sort dried pasta, feathers, and puzzle pieces into groups based on their weight. Other children sit with a member of staff and use princess puppets to act out a fairy tale story. They recall their knowledge about the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, remembering that she lives at
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider ways to further support children to develop their social skills, so that they can confidently engage play experiences alongside their peers n adapt the organisation of transitions and routine activity times, so that children's learning and development is maintained throughout n develop learning opportunities for children to recognise when they might be at risk when accessing the internet and what they can do to keep safe when using technology.

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.
