A day nursery in Buckingham for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 15:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2025. Open since 2007, with 30 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 Buckinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Buckinghamshire 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 making exceptional progress in their learning. Staff provide a vast amount of well-targeted and highly effective support for individual children's needs.
They use information from parents, and other carers involved in children's lives, to provide experiences that truly support children's emotional well-being, interests and next steps in their learning. Children are motivated to use their preferred style of learning through the staff's positive engagement and interactions. This helps to increase their opportunities to develop further skills. For example, staff play alongside children making 'potions', using their knowledge of children's intrigue with mixing and experimenting to support their confidence to use their voice. This also helps to develop their physical skills to bend, stretch and pour and mix.
Children have an extremely strong and positive attitude to their ongoing 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.
