A day nursery in Worksop 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2022. Open since 2013, with 40 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 Nottinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottinghamshire 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 are supported effectively by staff to play alongside each other. They cooperate and work well as a team to solve problems. For example, a group of children complete a picture-matching game. They communicate with each other to find the pieces that they need. Children celebrate their achievements and say
'hurray' together as they complete the game. Children are given the time that they need to learn and practise skills. They are encouraged by enthusiastic staff.
Children are confident and happy. They approach visitors and say what they enjoy playing with. Children are encouraged to develop their ideas and there are opportunities for them to follow their own interests. They develop their communication and language and their imagination through role play. For example, younger children offer pretend ice-cream to staff and friends. Staff read the text from the ice-cream container. Children develop ideas by discussing different flavours. Furthermore, their views and opinions are listened to. Menu changes have been made after children voted on new foods that they liked. Children have positive relationships with staff. They ask for help when they need it, and comfort and reassurance are offered to those who are upset. This helps children to feel safe and secure.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider the arrangements for sleeping so that children get good-quality rest n improve the organisation of snack time to ensure children have consistent messages from staff around the expectations for mealtimes.

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.
