A day nursery in Oldbury for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2023. Open since 2014, with 55 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 Sandwell
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sandwell 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 arrive at this warm, welcoming nursery eager to see their friends. They form friendships as they explore activities and giggle together in anticipation as they fill jugs to find out which holds the most water. Children learn about the world around them when they visit the local park and go on walks together. Staff encourage children to look around them as they go on their frosty walks to see what they can find. Children learn to make independent choices from an early age.
They help to hand out plates at lunchtime and serve their food. Children discover more about the food they enjoy as they make their own home-made pizzas together.
Children build on their vocabulary as they sit and listen to stories together. They repeat familiar phrases from the stories and learn new words, such as bricks and straw, when they talk about the different materials to make the pigs' houses.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- refine how staff plan the outdoor provision to ensure all children receive rich learning experiences n review how activities are organised to ensure all children can continue to focus and fully engage in their learning.

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.
