Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Yeovil for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2021, though that is 5 years ago now. Open since 1995, with 36 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 Somerset
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Somerset 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 very happy and settled. They choose from a range of exciting activities. Toddlers enjoy using small hammers to break ice blocks containing toy sea creatures. They strengthen their small-muscle skills needed for writing. They giggle with delight and say, 'fish' when they see the fish trapped inside.
Children relish playing outside and get plenty of fresh air. They communicate eagerly, retelling a treasured story or talking about ice cream while playing in the sandpit. Children strive to say their favourite flavour is vanilla, as they confidently practise and persevere with new vocabulary. Staff smile encouragingly, skilfully modelling how to say words correctly. Babies clap enthusiastically as staff make lively sounds and actions as they sing.
Staff conscientiously support all children's learning. They work methodically with other professionals and parents to help children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to make good progress. Children behave well, and staff have high expectations. Children line up and listen to instructions, concentrate and work cooperatively as they play board games together.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance opportunities for children to express themselves freely and creatively with a wide range of media and art materials n extend children's understanding and awareness of the diversity of communities in modern Britain and the world.

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.
