Belbroughton Nursery Committee
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A pre-school in Stourbridge for children from birth to 5, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2024. Open since 1992, with 16 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 Worcestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Worcestershire 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 benefit from a broad curriculum. Staff plan activities that they know children will enjoy and that help them to meet their next steps for learning. As a result, all children make good progress from their individual starting points. Staff set out the room before children arrive. Children enter happily and immediately become engrossed in their play. Staff forge positive relationships with children.
They offer children additional support if they need it, and children seek out staff to join in their play or for a reassuring cuddle. Consequently, children settle well and are eager learners.
Children learn life and social skills, and independence in readiness for school. Staff recognise that if children have these skills, it is the basis on which future learning is built. Children independently make choices in their play. They are beginning to take care of their own personal needs, such as visiting the toilet and washing their hands. They can take off their slippers and put on their outdoor shoes and coats.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- refine how activities are planned and organised, to support children's learning even more n help staff to provide children with more time to consolidate their learning before moving them on or introducing different aspects into activities.

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.
