SureStars Day Nursery Limited
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Leamington Spa for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2021. Open since 2009, with 80 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 Warwickshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warwickshire 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 have lots of fun in this setting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, parents continue to handover and collect their children at the nursery door. Children are welcomed by familiar, warm and caring staff, which helps them to feel safe and secure. They settle quickly into the stimulating play environment.
Play resources are arranged at low levels so that all children can see and access them. They independently select the toys they wish to play with. The youngest children thoroughly enjoy sitting with staff and giggling together while they look at books that they choose. Children remember what they have learned and point to familiar pictures in the book. Older children choose to engage in building large scale structures from blocks, drawing with a range of materials and in the sand.
They comment they are making a 'mountain'. Children are busy and focus attentively on these chosen tasks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on the relationships between parents and key persons to improve the consistency of information sharing and enhance the provision for children even further n increase opportunities for younger children to further develop their independence and self-care skills.

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.
