GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Nottingham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2024. Open since 2014, with 45 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 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 arrive happy and are warmly welcomed by staff. Staff build positive relationships with children, who look to them for reassurance and comfort when they need it. Staff know the children well and use their knowledge of children's abilities to provide an environment that supports their learning. For example, babies develop their physical skills as they pull themselves up and hold onto the large plastic tray to explore the different textures of its contents. Staff supervise older children well to promote their safety as they navigate climbing up wobbly planks. Children receive praise from staff when they achieve this, which helps them to develop confidence in their abilities. Children are provided with a range of activities which follow their interests. For example, staff support pre-school children to learn about planting and growing after finding seeds inside fruit during snack time. They help children to plant strawberries and beans, and children excitedly watch as they grow and ripen. Children proudly share facts about the fruit they have grown.
Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour. They support children to recognise their emotions and resolve conflicts. For example, children tell their friends that it makes them happy when they share. Staff encourage children to lead their own play and promote their independence. Children work together to gather a variety of pots, pans, soft blocks and planks of wood to create an assault course in the garden. When complete, children say, 'It's so cool.'
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop the implementation of the curriculum to ensure that the individual learning needs of all children are fully met n deploy staff more effectively outdoors to support and engage all children in learning.

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.
