What childcare usually costs in Leicestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicestershire 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 arrive at the calm and welcoming pre-school. They show they are well-settled and comfortable as they quickly become engaged in the activities which are available. The staff know the children well and provide a range of activities which meet their developmental needs and interests. Children learn to behave well and follow instructions when staff ask them to wash their hands before lunch. Staff support children as they learn to take turns and be kind to their friends. Children are encouraged to use their manners and say please and thank you. Staff support children to recognise different emotions. When they read stories to children they talk about how the characters in the books may be feeling.
Children become increasingly independent. Staff are very patient with children as they give them lots of time to practise doing things for themselves. Children develop resilience as they keep trying to do something new. Staff give lots of positive praise and encouragement which boosts children's self-esteem. Children are confident as they approach staff and visitors and share their thoughts and ideas. Staff participate in children's role play and support their language development. Children develop good imaginations as they provide staff with pretend cups of coffee and ask if they would like sugar.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to strengthen their interactions with children during group activities to ensure quieter, less-confident children are fully engaged in their learning.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- 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.
