What childcare usually costs in Warwickshire

£6.50an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£6.00an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

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

What the inspector found

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

This setting re-registered. It replaced “Birchwood Pre-school and After School Club” at the same address, which had been registered since 12 September 1996. A change of owner or legal entity gives Ofsted a brand new record, so the inspections below may only cover the time since then.

    Still missing for Birchwood Pre-School & After School Club

    • Meals
    • Nappies

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

    Before you ring

    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    Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £5.10 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.
    • Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
