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 Windsor and Maidenhead
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Windsor and Maidenhead 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 have the most wonderful time at this inspirational pre-school. They benefit immensely from a highly ambitious, challenging and exciting curriculum. Children make incredible progress and develop a genuine love of learning. They have exceptionally positive relationships with their peers and develop strong attachments to adults who care for them. Children are highly motivated and eager to learn.
Children form close and loving bonds with their key person. This allows them to truly flourish and feel safe and secure. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, children receive enriching experiences to significantly support their emotional well-being.
For example, they spend time talking to staff about the feelings of characters in stories and learn new words to describe these. As a result, children have extensive an vocabulary to skilfully express their own emotions.

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.
