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 Nottinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottinghamshire 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 thrive in an environment that connects them closely with nature and the outdoors. They arrive extremely excited and ready to learn at this fun nursery.
Staff nurture children's confidence and emotional well-being through the strong bonds they form with the children, who they know extremely well. Children settle swiftly. Young children greet staff with a beaming smile and hold their arms out to be taken from their parent. Transitions within the nursery are seamless. Staff work closely with parents to ensure that children are ready and prepared for their next stage in learning.
Children explore the natural world. They develop a deep sense of curiosity. Staff ask questions that spark interesting conversations. For example, children find a snail and discuss how it feels bubbly. Toddlers grasp chalk and make marks on blackboards. They instinctively extend this activity by themselves and find water and brushes to make marks on the fence. When visitors ask children what they like best about their nursery they reply, 'Everything and everybody'. Children fully understand the rules and boundaries that are in place in forest school and talk about the importance of following these to keep everyone safe, for example children demonstrate how to hold sticks downwards to stay safe.

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.
