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 are very happy and content at this warm and welcoming nursery. They form secure relationships with the kind and caring staff team. Children benefit from a well organised learning environment. They access a wide range of good-quality toys and resources. Children are eager to play and motivated to learn. Good settling-in procedures help children to quickly settle into the nurturing staffs' care.
Babies giggle and babble as they engage in their play. They receive lots of cuddles throughout the day. This helps them to feel emotionally secure.
Pre-school children display skills they will need when they move on to school. They develop early friendships and play cooperatively together. Pre-school children independently manage their self-care and understand the importance of washing their hands at regular intervals throughout the day. Children take responsibility for small tasks. They help to tidy away the toys when they have finished using them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the monitoring of staff practice to engage them in constructive and evaluative discussions to help them identify ways to raise the quality of their teaching to an outstanding level - provide children with more experiences to help them gain an effective understanding of when they might be at risk when using the internet or digital technology.

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.
