Which nurseries in TA3 are rated Outstanding?

Nurseries rated Outstanding within 3 miles of TA3 include The Lemon Tree Nursery School. Check each one's latest Ofsted report, as grades can change at the next inspection.

Do nurseries in TA3 offer funded childcare?

How do I choose between nurseries in TA3?

Start with ones close to home or on your way to work, check their Ofsted grade and the ages they take, then visit two or three. Ask about staff ratios, the daily routine, settling in, meals and fees.
