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 Nottingham

What it is like to attend
Children are valued and nurtured at nursery. Staff get to know the children and their families and they recognise when children may need additional support.
Children quickly settle and explore the safe and stimulating nursery. Staff consistently praise and support children as they play. They offer warm cuddles and reassurance when newer children arrive needing additional support. This helps children's well-being and builds their confidence. Staff are responsive to children's interests and create areas and activities that they know children will enjoy.
Staff encourage children to keep themselves safe. They gently remind them to stay at the table while they are eating. The nursery's curriculum is designed to build on essential skills children need for the future, this includes ensuring children build their physical skills. Children are supported to take appropriate risks and develop their large muscle skills as they scramble up the climbing frame and push themselves down the slide. Children smile as they dance to music and remember the words of familiar songs, copying actions from enthusiastic staff. Staff are a good role model to children. As children play, staff remind them by saying, 'We are friends, we can share.' Children show that they understand this and they are respectful to their friends and grown-ups, remembering to say please and thank you.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to build on children's knowledge during child-initiated play n manage distractions so that children can remain fully engaged in their learning.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
