Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
All 3 & 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours funded childcare the term after they turn 3. If you are a working family, you may be eligible to claim up to 30 hours funding for your child the term after they turn 9 months.
Worth knowing. We ask parents to contribute towards the additional cost of these things by paying a small additional charge per funded hour. All children who are in receipt of 2 Year Better Together Funding or Early Years Pupil Premium will not be charged any additional charges, even when opting for Option 1.
What childcare usually costs in Wiltshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wiltshire 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
Leaders have created a varied and ambitious curriculum. This provides children with secure foundations to underpin their future learning. Staff deliver a curriculum that helps children to become confident, independent and resilient learners. Older children develop confidence and test their own physical abilities as they learn to manage risks safely. For example, they climb trees, have fun on the tree swing and manage turn-taking independently when using the slide. Younger children practise their hand-eye coordination as they take turns to throw the beanbag into the bucket. Babies enjoy singing and exploring sounds outside as an extension to their weekly music group. This helps babies to consolidate sounds, supporting their emerging language skills. Older children engage in back-and-forth conversations with adults. Staff model the correct pronunciation of words and introduce new vocabulary such as 'pupa, when exploring ladybirds. This widens children's language. Staff use sign language to help support children's understanding of words. For example, younger children sign 'home' when talking about their mummies. Children are motivated and curious learners.
Staff are excellent role models and consistently implement high expectations for children's behaviour. As a result, children's behaviour is good. Staff nurture children's care needs and provide calming environments, helping them to feel safe and secure. Younger children have their own 'family adventure books' and develop a real sense of belonging. Babies and children have built close attachments with staff and their peers. Older children say, 'You can be my best friend.'
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of group times, ensuring that children are not sitting for too long, helping them to maintain their engagement and focus.

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 £9.50 an hour 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.
- 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.
