Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
All 3 and 4-year-olds in England are entitled to 15 hours of free early education each week for 38 weeks of the year. From September 2017, some of these children have been eligible for a further 15 hours per week.
Worth knowing. All pricing is fully inclusive of food including all of our flexible schemes and 2/3/4 year-old funded-only places.
What childcare usually costs in Peterborough
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Peterborough 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 arrive enthusiastically at the nursery, eager to begin their day. They excitedly tell staff their news and greet their friends. Children have formed strong bonds with staff, who are kind and caring. Staff working with younger children provide warm, consistent care and respond to babies' needs. They make sure they stay close by, comforting babies when they are tired or upset.
Staff carefully plan interesting learning opportunities outdoors. Children enthusiastically wash the dolls and brush their teeth, recreating familiar scenarios from home. They investigate different smells and textures as they mix spices, herbs, and citrus fruit together to make 'soup'. Children work together to build a computer from bricks. They explain how they looked up the information on a computer, so they knew how to make one.
Children's behaviour is good. They listen to others, take turns, and share resources willingly. Staff support children's personal and social development well. They lead by example and help children to understand how to show consideration for each other. Older children are confident communicators. They readily engage in conversations with their peers and adults. Babies hear some new words, which helps them to develop their language.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of the space for younger children, so they can move freely to make the most of the interesting activities on offer n help staff to engage in more effective interactions with younger children that provide rich opportunities to develop children's growing communication and language skills.

Still missing for The Teddy Bears Inn Day Nursery Ltd
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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.
- Is £58.00 a day still the rate? 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.
