What childcare usually costs in Telford and Wrekin

What it is like to attend
Children are warmly welcomed into the nursery by kind and caring staff. There is a calm and happy atmosphere at this nursery. Children separate confidently from parents and enter the nursery with a smile on their face. They confidently choose the activities they want to join in with from the well-resourced environment. Babies demonstrate high levels of natural curiosity as they explore electronic toys, pushing the various buttons to activate the sounds and music. Toddlers are imaginative.
They make pretend cups of tea for visitors and staff. Pre-school children develop their creative skills as they use play dough to mould their chosen shapes. Children of all ages enjoy listening to stories individually and in larger groups. They develop a love of books, joining in with turning the pages and recalling rhyming words from familiar stories.
Children behave well and play cooperatively with their friends. Staff use frequent praise and encouragement that children respond well to. This helps to build on children's self-esteem and confidence. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- share children's next steps in learning with parents more frequently, to help parents extend children's learning at home n build further on opportunities for babies to extend their play and learning experiences outdoors.

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.
