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 Warwickshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warwickshire 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 who attend this pre-school receive a warm welcome from staff as they arrive. As a result, they are eager to attend and settle quickly to their chosen activity. Children forge close relationships with staff. They interact positively with them as they eagerly share what they are doing and involve staff in their play. The curriculum is planned to provide children with a wide range of activities that enhance children's knowledge and builds on what they already know and can do.
Consequently, children make good progress from their individual starting points.
Children are confident communicators. They readily engage staff and their friends in conversation. Staff successfully extend children's communication and thinking skills as they ask children questions and patiently wait for them to answer. Children listen carefully and follow instructions well. Staff take time to explain and demonstrate the purpose of activities to children. This enables them to participate and eventually continue the activity for themselves. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. They calmly explain to them about taking turns and sharing with their friends. Children work together as they construct and paint. They negotiate who is going to paint first and what colour they are going to use. They patiently wait until their friends have finished before they add their colours to the picture. Together, they proudly show their picture to staff and are rewarded by lots of praise for their efforts.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support all staff to understand fully what the learning intention is for activities n provide children with more opportunities to develop their creative and smallmuscle skills during adult-led activities.

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.
