Teddy Bear Nursery
OutstandingBirth to 5Long established
A pre-school in Radstock for children from birth to 5, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2015, with 26 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 Bath and North East Somerset
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bath and North East Somerset 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 this highly inclusive and welcoming nursery. The nursery is a hive of activity, filled with laughter and chatter from the children. Staff have the highest expectations of what all children can achieve. This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who receive phenomenal support.
Staff have established an outstanding key-person system where children form very secure attachments. It is evident that all children are happy, safe and settled at the nursery.
Staff ignite children's curiosity through the rich and varied experiences they offer.

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.
