Ankermoor Nursery And Care Club
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Tamworth 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 April 2023. Open since 2019, with 24 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 Staffordshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Staffordshire 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
Staff extend children's interests as they emerge and build children's individual learning goals into the exciting activities that they participate in. Children show high levels of curiosity, imagination and concentration in their play as they move freely between the indoors and outdoors. They play outdoors for extended periods throughout the day.
Children learn about seed germination. Staff model and explain how to fill the plant pot with soil and how to make a hole for the seed to go in. They encourage the children to recognise the vegetables on the seed packet. Children take it in turns to choose a seed, plant it in their own pot and then carefully water it. Staff support each child to sound out the letters in their name and attempt to write it on a label to stick on their pot.
Children are fond of and closely observe the setting's pet rabbit. They know how to correctly stroke and feed the rabbit. This helps children to learn to respect, care for and understand animals.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- increase ways to help children develop a positive view of the racial and cultural diversity that reflects multi-cultural Britain n increase the information provided to parents about children's level of achievement across all the relevant areas of 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.
