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 Sandwell

What it is like to attend
Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this inviting nursery. Welcoming staff greet children and escort them to their base rooms. There is a strong focus on supporting children's communication and language. Staff make good use of songs and stories to encourage children to practise speaking. Staff use guidance and assessment tools to identify any gaps in children's language. They use this information to plan activities and make referrals to other professionals. This helps children to get the early and ongoing support they might need.
Staff share details with children about their heritage and background. They discuss their life experiences, bring traditional clothing for children to wear, and cook food from around the world. This helps children to understand about different cultures and what makes them unique. Consequently, children learn about respect and each other's values.
Children are physically active. They enjoy daily outdoor play. Staff encourage children to take age-appropriate risks, such as by climbing trees and balancing on tyres. Children relish the sense of achievement when they complete tricky tasks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to consider how they can further improve children's participation in set-up activities, so that all children can engage in learning n build on the staff's teaching of behaviour boundaries, so that children fully understand the impact their actions have on safety and the feelings of others.

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.
