Barrow Village Pre-School
OutstandingBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Broseley for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in October 2024. Open since 2016, with 18 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 Shropshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Shropshire 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 and staff are highly ambitious and motivated to give the best possible start to all children. Their inspiring environment, both indoors and outdoors, allows children to be free, independent and follow their curiosities. Children arrive extremely happy, and staff welcome them with smiles and warm greetings.
Children leave their parents with ease. They wave to them while making their way to their chosen activity, which they immediately become engrossed in. Children are secure and ready to start their day.
Leaders have created a unique curriculum that allows children to reach their full potential. Staff are extremely skilled and offer just the right amount of support by way of open-ended questioning. This allows children to develop their problemsolving abilities. Children benefit from a personalised learning journey that meets their individual needs. Children who attend the setting make rapid progress in their learning and development. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive exceptional support. Staff are quick to identify and act on any concerns, ensuring that children receive additional support at the earliest opportunity. Consequently, children with SEND flourish.

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.
