A day nursery in Sheffield for children from birth to 8+, open 07:15 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2025. Open since 2011, with 97 places.
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 are very happy and busy in this well-run and homely nursery. Babies and new starters settle quickly to their learning with the friendly and motivated staff.
Staff use their knowledge of children's interests and abilities well to systematically develop their skills and understanding. For example, babies build their fine muscle control as they handle small objects in their messy play, such as cornflakes and rice. Older children build on these skills as they make snowflake patterns in large paint trays or use different printing materials. All these skills support their later writing skills. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress overall in all areas of their learning and are well prepared for their future education.
Children are safe and well cared for. Staff make good use of information from parents to help babies feel happy away from home for the first time and to trust others. Older children learn to recognise and manage their own safety as, for example, they play balancing games on an obstacle course of planks and crates.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen planning to fully support staff to reinforce and deepen children's language development through all their activities.

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.
