A day nursery in Peterborough 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2020, though that is 6 years ago now. Open since 2008, with 90 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 Peterborough
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Peterborough 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 benefit enormously from this uniquely organised learning environment.
Their individual needs are extremely well met by caring and nurturing staff who are all passionate about doing the very best for each and every child. There is high level excitement when staff join in children's play. For example, staff animatedly take part in a 'bear hunt' and children run to hide as they offer their own suggestions about what to do next.
Children have extremely close attachments to all staff throughout the nursery. Staff have a deep knowledge of all children's families, backgrounds and circumstances.

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.
