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 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 benefit from being in the care of an exceptional, motivated, and professional staff team. Children receive the highest level of care and support. All children benefit from exciting, stimulating, and well-thought-out learning and development opportunities.
Babies are eager to take part in song times with staff. They make noises and copy actions as the staff sing songs. Children choose large, exciting props for themselves from the song bag. The staff know the children very well. The children demonstrate they feel extremely safe and secure in the staff's warm and nurturing care. The babies smile, make noises and snuggle into staff members for comfort.
Children's behaviour is excellent. They know what is expected of them and they can follow instructions from a very young age. Young children know where to find their coats when dressing to go out for a walk in the village. They sit down on the carpet area and wait for staff to help them. Older children know how to follow safety rules during science experiments. The setting has a set of 'golden rules', which represent children's interests.

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.
