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 Worcestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Worcestershire 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's attitudes and behaviour are exemplary. While engaging in meaningful activities, they show the highest levels of enthusiasm and motivation. Staff skilfully teach children how to assess risks and care for their friend's safety. As a result, children's awareness of rules and boundaries is excellent. Children take pride in being the 'safety officer' and use tick sheets to check the environment for hazards.
They patiently wait for staff before entering the eating area, and use clear vocabulary to explain the importance of picking up toys from the floor.
Children are fully engrossed during activities. They listen carefully to their friends and clap each other's achievements. Children demonstrate their kindness by asking staff to write positive sentences about their friends on a 'kindness cone'. Children are extremely independent. Young children locate bins for their tissues, while older children pour their own drinks and serve their lunch.

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.
