What childcare usually costs in Telford and Wrekin

What it is like to attend
Children happily arrive at nursery and confidently separate from their parents because staff warmly greet children with a smile or a cuddle. Staff know children and their families well and they use this information to help meet the individual needs of children. Children form strong and trusting bonds with staff. This helps to promote their overall well-being. Children behave well because staff act as good role models. Pre-school children remind each other of the expectations and support their peers to do the right thing, such as remembering to put on their hats as they leave to go into the garden.
Staff provide children with a rich and varied curriculum. They engage well with children as they play. For example, younger babies are curious and enjoy exploring the bubbles. Staff sit with them on the floor and encourage them to reach out to catch the bubbles. Children giggle in delight as they manage to touch them. Older children thoroughly enjoy joining in with songs and action rhymes. When children suggest they sing 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes', staff successfully engage all children to join in. Children delight in singing slowly and quietly before staff lead them in a fast version of the song. Children of all ages are developing positive attitudes to learning. All children are making good progress in their learning and development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- fully embed the revised planning so that children are provided with consistently purposeful learning opportunities n develop children's independence skills even further by allowing them to manage tasks they are capable of completing themselves.

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.
