A day nursery in Bromsgrove 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 April 2024. Open since 2021, with 40 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 Worcestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Worcestershire 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
Leaders have made considerable changes since the last inspection. They ensure that staff have a good understanding of how to identify potential risks to children, and act swiftly to minimise these. Sleeping children are provided with suitable beds with secure mattresses and bedding.
Children at this nursery benefit from a caring and nurturing environment where staff show genuine affection to them. Staff form strong bonds with children and their families, and get to know them well. This helps staff to plan interesting activities that children are keen to engage with. Leaders have used the knowledge they have gathered about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to inform the opportunities they provide for children. For example, they recognise that children require further support to regulate their emotions. They have implemented focused areas of learning that support children to express themselves and learn about the feelings of others. Leaders recognise the importance of supporting children's emotional well-being. They apply flexible settling-in processes to meet the needs of children and implement a key-person system, which is highly effective from the moment that children begin their time at nursery.
Children learn about appropriate behaviours. They are reminded to use their manners when asking for something and are supported to take turns during their play. Children learn to play cooperatively and enjoy spending time together.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider the organisation of routines, especially during snack and mealtimes, so that children's needs are always met n continue to build on the already good teaching so that older children are suitably challenged.

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.
