This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Rochdale from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Children settle quickly in this warm and welcoming setting. There is a buzz of chatter as children eagerly join their friends and confidently choose activities. For example, children giggle as they take turns using the pretend camera and proudly talk about the photos they have taken.
Children benefit from many opportunities to develop their independence, social skills and language in readiness for school. They show a can-do attitude. For example, during snack time, children make choices, carry plates and pour their own drinks. Children have ample opportunities to develop their social skills and they display positive behaviours.
Expectations for all children are high. Children have developed strong bonds with the kind and nurturing staff. Interactions are responsive to children's individual needs. For instance, staff communicate with nonverbal children using visual prompts. This helps children to fully engage with the curriculum, which supports their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - strengthen staff's knowledge of early mathematics so that they offer learning to build on children's existing knowledge n concentrate more sharply on identifying children's next steps in learning so that their learning is methodically planned and sequenced.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £6.50 a session still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
