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 Birmingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Birmingham 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 arrive with huge smiles and greet their friends with enthusiasm. They develop excellent bonds with the kind, affectionate staff. Children demonstrate an immensely strong sense of belonging and take charge of their learning. They are active, busy learners, who are eager to take part in the wide range of inspiring activities and experiences that engage them and ignite their curiosity.
Children demonstrate excellent independence and an exceptional can-do attitude.
Babies are adept at cleaning their teeth after lunch and two-year-old children take responsibility for their own belongings. Older children prepare their own snack when they feel hungry. They know to wash the fruit first and they use knives with care and precision. Children's behaviour is impeccable. They are exceedingly thoughtful. For example, a child asks another 'Would you like to go first?' as they queue to go out to play.

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.
