Cornmeadow Early Years and Families
OutstandingBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Worcester for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in November 2022. Open since 2012, with 54 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 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 make excellent progress in this inspiring setting, where they feel safe and secure. They happily and confidently enter the setting and explore a wide range of activities that are accessible to them. Resources and activities are carefully planned by staff, to stimulate children's development and a love of learning.
Children communicate confidently with their friends, staff and visitors. Pre-school children talk about a recent visitor to the setting, as part of their topic about emergency services. They enthusiastically describe the ambulance, the sounds it makes and what the paramedic told them about staying safe. Children talk about the importance of wearing safety helmets while riding bicycles and remind visitors to use the zebra crossing to cross the tricycle track in the nursery garden. Younger children join in with familiar action songs and nursery rhymes. Children react with awe and wonder when staff encourage them to say 'abracadabra', as the room darkens and the ceiling lights up with stars. Children sing, 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little
Star' soothingly as they wind down and prepare for lunch.

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.
