Wiggles Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Wadebridge for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2025. Open since 2011, with 30 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 Cornwall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cornwall 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 receive a warm welcome from staff at this friendly nursery. They develop good friendships with other children and enjoy making up games together. Staff support children to deepen their understanding of the world around them as they play. They set up interesting areas for the children to explore and skilfully question children as they do so. Children are inquisitive and keen to learn. For example, staff show them how to collect minibeasts from under logs and carefully put them in boxes. They support them to use magnifying glasses correctly to identify the different insects and help them to extend their vocabulary by learning the correct names. Staff refer well to children's prior learning and provide a good level of challenge in their discussions.
Staff ensure the nursery environment is inclusive for all children and provide them with high-quality learning experiences. For instance, staff help to promote a love of books as they read to children under the willow trees in the outdoor area. Children listen carefully for extended periods as they sit on blankets. Staff use questioning well to deepen children's understanding of the story and make predictions about what will happen next to support their literacy skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support children to join in and engage with others during play to further develop their social skills n encourage children to carry out tasks for themselves to enable them to become more independent.

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.
