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 Sheffield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sheffield 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 eagerly enter the nursery after finding their pegs and hanging up their coats. They receive a warm greeting from the passionate, friendly and nurturing staff team. Children form strong attachments with staff. This helps children to feel safe, settle quickly and play happily. Staff continually praise children's achievements, much to children's delight. This increases children's confidence, selfesteem and helps them to develop a positive approach to learning new things.
Staff help children to develop important social skills through their excellent role modelling. Children build early friendships as they eat their healthy snack in small groups and dig alongside one another in the large outdoor sandpit, kindly sharing resources. Staff positively help children to understand boundaries. Children demonstrate excellent behaviour, especially given their young age. Staff respect and celebrate the cultural diversity of the families who attend, helping everyone to feel valued and respected.
Staff help children to develop their early independence. For example, they encourage children to manage age-appropriate tasks during daily routines, such as putting on their coats to play outside. Staff provide a wide range of fun and engaging activities for children aged two years and over, in particular. All children progress well and develop fundamental skills that prepare them for moving downstairs to the nursery school when they are three years old.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan and adapt the environment and activities more effectively to support the individual learning needs and interests of children aged under two years n strengthen the key-person system and daily routines, to provide greater continuity in care and learning for children aged under two years.

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.
