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 are happy to come into nursery. They are excited to see their key person and their friends. Staff hold their hands to guide them in safely. Children know that their favourite toys will be set out waiting for them, such as diggers or paint and stickers to create pictures with.
Children build good friendships and enjoy engaging in imaginative play. For instance, they make 'nature cakes' from recipes they create. Ingredients include sage, thyme, daises, pinecones and mud. Children behave well. They listen attentively to stories and join in with songs and rhymes. Young children receive cuddles from their key person if they become tired or upset. This helps them to feel emotionally secure.
Children show positive attitudes to learning. For example, older children demonstrate good levels of persistence to plant flowers into pots in the garden.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- monitor staff's practice more precisely to ensure the curriculum is implemented as effectively as possible, to build on children's knowledge and skills even further n enhance the good partnerships with parents further so that all parents are fully informed how they can support their child's learning at home.

Still missing for Windrush Nursery
- Meals
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £7.00 an hour 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.
