What childcare usually costs in Wiltshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wiltshire 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 arrive settled and ready to learn. They quickly engage in play, inviting staff to take a role in their activities. Staff excitedly accept their role and utilise the opportunity to extend children's learning. For example, children self-select stories to share with staff. Staff dutifully and passionately read the chosen stories, asking questions and discussing what might happen next. Staff prompt children to turn pages one at a time, helping children to notice how sentences read from left to right. This helps children to develop their literacy skills.
Leaders adopt a well-sequenced curriculum with a focus on independent skills.
Staff deliver the curriculum well, which helps children to build the skills they need to be ready for their next stage. For example, children quickly learn how to become independent in dressing and undressing. Staff give children time to learn how to put their own coats, hats and gloves on. Furthermore, staff expertly support children and families in the steps they need to complete for successful toilet training. Children learn to manage their personal hygiene skills effectively.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan and implement activities more precisely to expand children's vocabulary n help children to expand their mathematical knowledge further, including their understanding of numbers.

Still missing for Urchfont Pre-school CIO
- Meals
- Nappies
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £7.00 an hour 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
