GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Kingsteignton, Newton Abbot for children from birth to 5, open 08:45 to 15:30, 4 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2009, with 20 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 Devon
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Devon 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 are very happy and enjoy strong attachments with all staff. They settle quickly on arrival. All children are kind to one another. They forge close friendships and work together on tasks. Pre-school children decide what they want to do and make a pathway out of wooden blocks. They help each other and say: 'Now this is easy'. This strengthens their relationships and makes them feel more secure.
Toddlers and pre-school children learn independence skills. They play with flour and large shells, dusting off the flour from the shells with small brushes, and this goes on the floor. They ask to clear up the flour. Staff direct them to where the dustpans and brushes are. They show the toddlers and pre-school children how to clean up the flour. Children feel proud of their efforts. This boosts their selfesteem.
There is an ambitious curriculum in place. Staff meet regularly to discuss children's development. They plan learning experiences for children based on their interests.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve staff communication and language strategies used with pre-school children, to develop their early communication skills more effectively n strengthen pre-school children's confidence to engage in sustained and meaningful play independently, to better prepare them for future 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.
