A pre-school in Slough for children from birth to 8+, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2024. Open since 2016, with 16 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 Slough
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Slough 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 and settled, they separate well from their parents as they excitedly arrive with eagerness and smiles. Staff have nice bonds with the children and are good role models. Planning meets the needs of the children, and they engage well in activities of their choosing. Staff adapt these well to encourage all children to join in. For example, during a story time activity the children wanted to be outside. Staff adapt and move the activity into the garden.
Children show they know what is expected of them and behave well. Staff have high expectations for children and give them clear instructions which children follow well. Staff have excellent knowledge of the children and support them well.
Children explore confidently and are building nice friendships. They play well alongside or with each other. If conflicts arise, staff support children to find solutions to these.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the consistency of staff interactions to ensure all children experience the same high-quality interactions, particularly less confident children to take their learning to the highest level.

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.
