Adventureland Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Walsall for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2023. Open since 2009, with 58 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 Walsall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Walsall 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
The staff team plans a curriculum that focuses on all aspects of children's learning to help them make good progress in their development. Staff place a strong focus on helping children to develop confidence and self-assurance. They talk to children about their emotions and how they are feeling. Staff are positive role models. They speak to children sensitively and remind them of behaviour expectations and rules.
As a result, children behave well. They build strong friendships, learn to selfregulate and manage their emotions.
Children have vast opportunities to develop their physical skills as they have daily opportunities to play in the large soft-play structures. Staff encourage children to take measured risks and supervise them well so that they can master new skills safely. Staff make excellent use of stories, songs and rhymes. Children excitedly join in with identifying missing words in stories and predict what will happen next.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to consistently implement a curriculum that provides optimum challenge to help every child build on what they already know and can do n raise the quality of staff's teaching so that all children consistently receive the highest quality of interactions to inspire their learning and help them to remain fully engaged.

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.
