A day nursery in Welland 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 January 2025. Open since 2012, with 48 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
The leadership and staff team put children at the centre of everything they do.
Staff build strong bonds with the children. They tailor the care they provide to help children achieve high levels of well-being. As children arrive, staff greet them in caring and supportive ways that comfort them. This helps them to settle quickly into the pre-school. Staff adjust their approaches in response to children's moods.
When children have had a break in attendance, staff allow them to act on their curiosities and explore the pre-school to familiarise themselves with the opportunities on offer. This helps children to be ready to learn.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on the already good practice and seek further ways to help all staff provide high-quality teaching to consistently support the play and learning experiences for children.

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.
