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 Oldham

What it is like to attend
Children are curious, independent learners. They fill the air with sounds of laughter, thoughtful questions and excitement. Older children plant flowers and vegetables. They show off their extensive knowledge by explaining that a row of pebbles is needed in each pot for water drainage. Two-year-old children beam as they anticipate their daily game of 'what's in the box?'. They patiently wait their turn, choose a teddy from the box and begin to sing the corresponding song. This supports their growing vocabulary and important social skills. Babies begin to showcase early imaginative skills by pretending to feed staff and talking on makeshift telephones. The curriculum in place is truly ambitious for every child.
All children cherish playing outdoors. Staff design enjoyable and clever activities that help to support children's growing physical skills. For example, children balance carefully and navigate tricky steps in an obstacle course outside. They thoughtfully assess this activity for risks and decide individually whether or not they would like a helping hand from staff. This supports children's growing confidence, as well as their large-muscle skills. Children know what is expected of them. Staff reinforce gentle boundaries and rules, which children happily follow. This helps to create an atmosphere of respect and kindness to all.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- encourage staff to deliver consistent messages with regard to healthy choices n support children's growing vocabulary further by encouraging staff to use proper terminology when speaking with children.

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.
