Good★ 3.3 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Sheffield for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2025. Open since 1993, with 126 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
All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities
(SEND) and those on the pathway to diagnosis, make good progress in their learning and development. Staff working with pre-school children provide highquality interactions. They deliver the curriculum intent well and challenge children's learning successfully. For example, pre-school children count two sets of blocks.
They then add these blocks together to show that seven add three equals ten.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to focus more precisely on the intended learning aims and to meet children's individual needs when planning adult-led activities for babies and toddlers n continue to coach and mentor staff so that the quality of practice continues to build consistently over time to benefit all children.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
