Tootsies Private Day Nursery Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Bordon for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 19:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2024. Open since 2016, with 60 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 Hampshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hampshire 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
Management and staff implement a clear and ambitious curriculum. Children confidently enter the nursery and happily leave their parents to go to staff. They eagerly explore and play in the enticing environments that staff create for them.
Staff provide babies with lots of sensory experiences and opportunities to develop their physical skills as they cruise around, over and through resources. Staff talk to babies and narrate what they are doing, encouraging their emerging communication and language skills. Staff spend time building nurturing relationships with babies and building on their emotional skills as they sensitively interact with them. As children move through the nursery the nurturing continues.
Staff in the toddler rooms use children's interests to engage them in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to implement the precise learning intentions of activities more effectively, so that they are all clear about what skills and knowledge they want children to gain.

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.
