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 arrive at the setting happy and ready to learn. They separate from parents independently and wave them goodbye. Children choose an activity and are engaged in their learning. They develop strong relationships with their key person and look to them for reassurance and support. The key person monitors children's learning and plans meaningful activities for them in the setting and to do at home.
This means that children's learning is shared and well supported.
Children are kind to each other. They share experiences and achievements and praise each other. During activities, children comment 'that was perfect', copying the actions of members of staff. Children are confident to talk to each other, and they ask staff for help when needed. They share their experiences with visitors and are proud of their achievements. Children show pictures that they have drawn and skills that they have learned. They are given opportunities to develop their independence. For example, they wash their hands, peel their own fruit and wash up their plates after snack. This helps to develop children's confidence and independence ready for their next stage of learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide consistently high-quality learning opportunities for children at all times, particularly during transition periods. Westwood/Ravensthorpe

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.
