Woodberry Day Nursery and Pre-School- Fawley
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Southampton for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2023. Open since 2022, with 70 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 Hampshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hampshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Children come in happily and settle quickly into activities, such as morning group time. When children need reassurance, staff are quick to offer cuddles to help children feel safe and secure. They have strong bonds with their key children.
Children develop resilience as staff encourage them to have a go at things they find hard, such as learning how to put on their shoes. They take pride in their accomplishments when they succeed.
Children are curious and keen to explore the world around them. For example, very young babies enjoy testing what happens when you knock wooden blocks together and giggle when it makes a noise. Staff encourage children to explore the world around them through games. For example, staff and older children play 'I-spy'
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's understanding of the overall aims for the curriculum to enable them to plan even more precisely for children's learning n support staff to recognise when to give children more time to process and respond to questions.

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.
