A day nursery in Birmingham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2024. Open since 2012, with 79 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 Birmingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Birmingham 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 have taken effective action since the last inspection. Any unsafe items have been disposed of and replaced. Risk assessment is now effective. All areas of the nursery are safe, clean and free from hazards. Staff follow strict checks before children access the on-site soft-play area. They teach children the rules they must follow when moving out of the nursery. For example, children must wear highvisibility jackets, they form a train to move together and staff teach them not to talk to unknown adults. Staff complete head counts as they move around so that all children are safely accounted for.
Leaders are keen for children to have the best start in life. They understand the diverse community they serve. Staff know the children very well. They gather valuable information about children before they start. This gives staff in-depth knowledge of children's home lives and previous experiences. They use this knowledge to forge early relationships and build trusting bonds. This supports children to feel comfortable to share information, which also helps to keep them safe. Staff join in with games and are good role models. They ignite children's curiosity with interesting activities and experiences. As a result, children show a positive attitude towards learning and make steady progress from their various starting points.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support children's independence even further, so that children learn to persevere with tricky tasks themselves n allow children further opportunities to follow their ideas and use their creativity to guide their own learning.

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