Funded hours
Eligible working families will be able to claim 30 hours of childcare from the term after their child turns 9 months old until they reach school age. All 3 and 4 year olds who live in England are entitled to 15 hours of childcare per week, over 38 weeks of the year.
Worth knowing. Government funding does not cover meals, nappies, wipes, suncreams, activities and additional hours. We stretch the funded hours over 51 weeks.
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 happily leave their parents at the nursery door. They are greeted by the friendly and welcoming staff team. Children quickly settle into their play. They are familiar with the routines, which are promoted and implement well by the staff.
Children explore the good range of toys, activities and resources in this home-fromhome nursery environment. They are happy, well behaved and enjoy their time at the nursery.
Children make good progress in their learning because staff have high expectations of them. Staff plan activities that build on the interests of children to encourage them to be curious, investigate and have a go. For example, pre-school children show good levels of concentration during a cutting activity. They persevere using their small muscle skills to hold and use scissors to cut paper and flowers. They proudly show off their success to visitors. Children, from a young age, demonstrate their independence skills well. Babies select toys of their choice and feed themselves at mealtimes. Toddlers pull up their own sleeves ready to use serving spoons. They scoop out the food from bowls and try to put the food on their own plates. Pre-school children pour their own drinks, serve themselves confidently and cut up their own food before eating.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve how staff implement the curriculum to support the learning intentions for children, so that they learn as much as they can n refine the planning of activities so that they are more-precisely tailored to support individual children's learning n help staff to identify when to engage more with quieter and less-confident children so they receive the same level of support as their more-confident peers.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
