Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
In most cases, families can access up to 1140 hours of funded childcare per year, often referred to as 15 or 30 hours per week during term time.
Worth knowing. At Wildflower, we offer funded places on a stretched basis across the year, allowing families to use their entitlement more flexibly.
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
As children arrive, they are greeted by warm, friendly staff. They are happy and settled at this welcoming setting. They confidently separate from their parents and excitedly head to their rooms. Children show that they feel safe and secure. They smile as they look at photos of themselves and their families that are displayed in the classrooms and in the hallways.
Staff have high expectations for children's learning and development. They are positive role models and children behave well. Children listen to staff and follow instructions. Older children play nicely with each other, talking about their games and sharing well. Babies and younger children play well alongside each other and staff support them to learn to take turns.
Children engage well in a good range of activities that staff provide for them. They are confident and independent learners. Younger children show delight as they explore sensory activities. For example, children excitedly laugh out loud as they try to catch foam being sprayed on a tray. They use spoons to scoop flour into bowls which they happily mix and proudly show adults. Older children benefit from small groups times. They listen well and join in at appropriate times, preparing them for the transition to the next stage in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve management oversight of interactions with children by temporary staff n develop a sharper focus on the curriculum for outdoor learning, to ensure it meets and benefits the individual needs of all children.

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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
