What childcare usually costs in Nottingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottingham 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 welcomed into the playgroup by the attentive, caring and friendly staff.
They are provided with a wide range of activities and experiences to support their interests and learning. All staff plan an exciting curriculum to entice children, including for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to explore, have a go and develop the necessary skills for their future learning.
Children settle quickly and behave well. Staff make it a priority to ensure they get to know the children and offer lots of reassurance where needed. Children build secure attachments with staff, particularly with their key person.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff's understanding and practice of how to engage all children to support their learning.
- 9 September 2025Good Safeguarding: Yes
- 26 June 2025Inadequate

- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £47.00 a day still the rate? 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.
