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 Sheffield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sheffield 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 are happy and engaged in this warm and welcoming childcare centre.
Babies and children make a positive start to their learning experiences. They develop strong bonds with the staff who care for them. Staff work closely with parents and carers to understand children's interests, needs and routines. They plan effectively overall to support all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to make good progress. Children develop their curiosity and creativity. For example, they use magnifying glasses to investigate natural objects or create their own treasure maps. Children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including starting school.
Children feel safe and cared for by the friendly and engaging staff. They behave well. Children learn to follow instructions for activities, such as tidying up, washing their hands and playing games. Staff help children to make decisions about their play and learning. Children learn to keep themselves safe as, for example, they make obstacle courses for climbing and balancing on. The manager and her staff have high expectations for every child to gain the most from their time in the nursery. Parents thoroughly appreciate all that staff do to help their children learn.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to match tasks consistently to children's capability and understanding, to help them to make the best progress.

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.
