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 attend this home-from-home, nurturing setting. They benefit from an individual approach to settling in. This helps all children to form meaningful relationships with staff, and they quickly begin to feel safe and secure.
There is an effective key-person system in place, which contributes to children's sense of well-being.
Staff tend to the intimate care needs of their own key children, always asking the child first. Food is freshly prepared on site and staff consider all children's dietary requirements. Staff set rules to promote positive behaviour. This helps children to understand what is expected of them. Children show that they are eager to learn and play cooperatively with their friends.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help all staff to consistently focus on what they want children to learn, to support every child to make the best possible progress n focus supervision sessions and professional development opportunities on enhancing staff's knowledge of the curriculum and raising the quality of their teaching further.

Still missing for Twinkle Twinkle Stars
- Youngest age taken
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £50.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
