Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
There are several government funding options available for children between the ages of 9 months and 4 years, depending on household income and eligibility.
Worth knowing. For families using funded hours, we therefore request a voluntary contribution towards consumables, which helps cover items used throughout the day such as materials and resources that support your child’s learning and care.
What childcare usually costs in Buckinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Buckinghamshire 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 demonstrate that they feel happy and safe at nursery. They are warmly welcomed into the setting by the staff who know them well. Children benefit from regular and consistent routines. For instance, children put their belongings away and pop their slippers on to start their day. Staff use circle time to greet each child at the beginning of the session through a welcoming song. This supports children's personal and emotional development securely. Children benefit from well-planned transition procedures and develop positive key-person relationships. For instance, when children start nursery, they have settling-in periods to suit their individual needs. This helps them become familiar with their new environment, different toys and new people. Staff have implemented secure systems which help children to behave well. For example, children respond promptly when the 'tidy-up song' is played, and everyone helps to put toys and resources away before mealtimes.
Overall, children at the nursery follow a well organised and well-thought-out curriculum. Staff provide many resources and age appropriate activities for children across all rooms. As a result, children demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning and are fully engaged in the activities planned for them by staff. For example, younger children and babies enjoy exploring with a wide variety of sensory activities. They inquisitively investigate with different materials, such as paint, glitter, cotton wool and feathers. This supports their creative development and strengthens their small-muscle development successfully.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop a fully consistent approach to teaching younger children independence skills n strengthen the sequencing of the mathematics curriculum to consistently deliver learning opportunities closely matched to children's stage of development.

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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
