Good★ 4.5 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Birmingham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 March 2025. Open since 2019, with 60 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 Birmingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Birmingham 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 happy at this nursery. Staff greet them with smiles and welcome them in. Children are happy to separate from their parents and carers and are keen to join their friends. Staff form good relationships with children and their families.
They get to know what children are interested in and use this information to plan enjoyable activities for them.
Children learn to be respectful of others. Staff remind them to use their manners at mealtimes and help them to take turns with the equipment available to them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide staff with the support and training they need to assess children's development more precisely n support staff to develop their teaching skills so that children make the best possible progress n review the arrangements for sharing the progress check at age two so that parents and other professionals can provide support to children at the earliest opportunity n develop the outdoor area so that children benefit from all opportunities to enhance their learning.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
