What childcare usually costs in Leicestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicestershire 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
Staff work closely as a team to provide a welcoming environment for the children.
They focus on developing strong relationships with children and their families. This ensures that children feel a sense of belonging and promotes children's confidence and social skills. Due to this, children happily explore resources, both indoors and outdoors, with their friends. They choose to experiment with ice and try to use a waterwheel. While they do this, staff enthusiastically immerse themselves in the children's play. Staff help children to think about how they can melt the ice.
Children try different ways and persevere. After deciding to use warm water, children squeal with delight as they watch the ice melt and talk about what is happening. As they experiment, attentive staff ensure children's safety. They remind children that the ice is sharp and how to hold it carefully.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff skills in supporting children to manage their own behaviour.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £39.00 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.
