A pre-school in Tamworth for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 15:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2008, with 40 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 Staffordshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Staffordshire 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 happy and eager to learn. Staff resource the environment thoughtfully, with activities that interest children and support their learning needs.
Children are kind and caring towards one another. For example, as children engage in burying dolls in the sand, they happily invite others into their play. Children beam with confidence. They display leadership qualities and resolve disputes between themselves. For example, when children play football, they elect a referee who is able to give instructions and solve problems when they arise during the game.
Children demonstrate resilience and perseverance through their play. For example, children encounter challenges as they mount the climbing wall. They keep trying until they reach the top. When they complete the task, they relish their accomplishments and beam with pride. Children show strong attachments to staff members. They receive lots of care and nurture throughout their day. This helps children to feel safe and secure.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff with their planning and teaching of adult-led activities so that children can benefit fully from the planned learning experiences.

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.
