GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Bristol for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2024. Open since 2016, with 62 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 South Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in South Gloucestershire 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 enter the setting happily, with confidence and eagerness to learn. Warm greetings from staff make them feel welcome and safe. An effective key-person system helps children settle in well. Children form strong bonds with nurturing staff, who prioritise their emotional security. Staff value conversations with children and strongly support their communication and language development. Children describe how they planted flowers in the garden, showing good communication skills. Children are curious. They ask questions and proudly introduce themselves to visitors. Staff plan an ambitious, well-sequenced curriculum that builds on what children know and can do. Children squeeze pipettes to strengthen their hand muscles. This prepares them for future learning, such as effective tool use in the woodworking sessions and writing. Staff help children to develop their understanding of the wider world. They use a globe to talk to children about other countries.
Children show positive attitudes to learning and respond well to staff. They eagerly work as a team to tidy up, saying 'I can do it' while carefully putting a bike away.
Staff support children's independence skills. They teach children how to put on their coats and prepare fruit for snack. Children learn about time and early mathematics. Staff explain to children that when they hear the cuckoo clock sound ten times, it is snack time.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to notice and act when children need extra support to increase their involvement and participation in activities to maximise learning and help them make the best possible progress n help staff to consistently support children to understand rules and risks to keep themselves safe as they play.

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.
