Teddies Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Leicester for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 June 2024. Open since 2022, with 30 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.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Parents, visitors and children receive a warm and friendly welcome from staff when arriving at the nursery. Staff get to know children and their families well. This helps staff to understand children's individual needs and preferences. Staff provide new children with tailored settling in sessions, giving them time to adapt to the nursery environment and to help them to feel safe.
Staff provide children with new experiences linked to their interests and next stages of learning. Babies take part in a cornflour activity. They show great concentration as they use their fingers and spoons to scoop up the cornflour. They watch with fascination as the cornflour changes texture and runs through their fingers.
Staff provide plenty of activities to support children's social skills. For example, they interact with a group of children and work together to make 'strawberry soup'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the implementation of the curriculum to effectively support children to get the most out of all learning opportunities n provide parents with further guidance and ideas of how they can support their children's learning and development at home.

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.
