Good★ 4.6 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Leamington Spa for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2022. Open since 2005, with 69 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 Warwickshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warwickshire 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 eager to learn as they arrive at nursery. They make choices about their learning in the highly organised environment, which helps them to engage quickly in their play. Younger children develop their problem-solving skills as they test how to fit wooden oranges inside different objects. They skilfully balance these on egg cups and carefully transport them from the role-play area to a table. Twoand three-year-old children show high levels of concentration as they explore play dough. They practise their fine motor skills as they manipulate the dough to make different facial features. Older children develop an understanding of their emotions as they sing songs and share stories with staff that encourage them to talk about their feelings.
Children demonstrate a strong understanding of the high expectations staff have of them. Older children independently put on their own coats when they want to play outdoors. At mealtimes, they confidently serve their own food onto their plates and use cutlery correctly. Children take great care of their learning environment and show high levels of respect for their books and toys. When they finish playing with something, they put it back in its place before moving on to the next activity.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance the arrangements for the supervision of staff and monitoring of teaching to identify training and professional development opportunities that help raise the quality of teaching consistently to the highest level n help staff to use all information that they know about children to precisely identify how to extend and stretch their learning even further.

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.
