Wind In The Willows Preschool Ltd @ ABC Durrington
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Salisbury for children from birth to 5, open 08:45 to 14:45, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2013, with 24 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 Wiltshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wiltshire 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 enjoy their time at this pack-away setting. They receive a new and exciting environment each day. For example, when children enjoy insects and bugs, staff ensure that resources are available to complement their interests. This positively contributes towards children's good behaviours and eagerness to learn.
Children guide their own learning, and they develop their ideas through play.
Children develop their early maths skills. For example, staff teach them to solve problems, such as building bicycles from construction toys and counting as they move their counters.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to engage in open-ended questions and give children more time to consider their responses to questions before moving on, to enable children to develop their thinking skills and extend their communication skills even further n extend opportunities for children to develop their early writing skills.

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.
