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 Trafford
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Trafford 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 demonstrate outstanding resilience. They persevere on any given task and show a wonderful can-do attitude. For example, when completing a challenging jigsaw, children repeatedly try until they successfully place all pieces in the correct positions. They show excellent attitudes to learning which creates a brilliant foundation for their future development. Children are tremendously helpful and cooperative. They look after their toys and take care of their environment. When asked politely to tidy away, children swiftly respond and return their games to baskets prior to playing elsewhere. Children are very respectful, highly considerate and extremely mature.
Staff empower children to share their opinions and resolve their own conflicts. Staff carefully steer discussions to help children to understand how their actions make others feel. Children behave impeccably. Children try their hardest and strive to make staff proud of their efforts. They receive frequent praise and encouragement which contributes to their positive self-esteem. Children clap with delight as they receive animated congratulations for their efforts. Praise is meaningful and children's self-confidence flourishes. Children show they feel secure, happy and at ease. They enjoy the company of sensitive, kind and caring staff who lavish children with plenty of nurturing affection. For instance, children run across the room to give familiar staff a cuddle. Positive relationships contribute to children's exceptional emotional security, resilience and self-esteem.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff knowledge of how to effectively promote babies' focus and attention and help them to make even more progress
- extend the already good learning opportunities outdoors to fully support those children who prefer to learn outside.

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.
