Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Hinckley for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2022. Open since 2002, with 24 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 Leicestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicestershire 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 clearly enjoy their time at the nursery. Staff make children and their parents feel very welcome and part of their nursery family. Staff enjoy strong bonds with children. Children show that they feel safe and secure with the adults caring for them. Children are excited to talk to staff about their thoughts and ideas.
Older children enjoy running around with their friends and telling staff that they are
Staff set high expectations for children's behaviour. Children demonstrate good listening skills as they take part in group activities together. They understand how to communicate with others and allow turn-taking in conversations. For example, children welcome each other to a group-time activity. They wait patiently for everyone to have their turn to speak and to say their name. Staff teach children to be respectful of each other and to be kind to their friends. Children welcome visitors to the setting and ask if they would like to share their play dough. Staff are very good role models, teaching children to be caring and considerate. Staff provide good care and education for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff work very effectively with other professionals to make sure that appropriate support is in place for children who need it.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to make the most of learning opportunities for children during creative activities n review how group activities, such as story time, are organised so that children are able to fully engage with the activity, free from distractions.

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.
