A day nursery in Coventry for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2024. Open since 2012, with 48 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 Coventry
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Coventry 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 welcome children into the nursery warmly and children settle quickly. Staff provide a nurturing approach to the care they provide. Children seek out their key person for a cuddle when they are feeling unsure. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Children explore the activities on offer with determination. They become intrigued with what they find in the sensory tray. Children enthusiastically join in with the activity as they discover familiar dinosaurs and stomp these into the foam to make different-sized marks. Staff bring meaning to the marks the children make as they talk about the difference between the big and small prints. This helps children develop their mathematical understanding through comparing the various sizes.
Staff have high expectations for all children's behaviour, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They come down to children's eye level and patiently talk to them about their behaviours and wait for them to show acknowledgement. This supports children's understanding of what is being asked of them. Children show high levels of focus in activities. They share their resources with their friends as they concentrate on creating faces in play dough, using buttons and pipe cleaners. Children enjoy their time in the garden. Staff blow bubbles into the air and children giggle in delight as they chase and pop them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to model the correct use of English to enable children to build on their communication and language skills successfully n strengthen teaching so that all staff consistently build on children's existing knowledge, in particular their understanding of the world.

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
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.
