A day nursery in Birmingham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2022. Open since 2022.
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 come into the setting happily and are greeted warmly by friendly and caring staff. They show that they feel settled and content as they excitedly ask visitors to ' wear the fire helmet and help them to extinguish the fire.' All children develop strong attachments with their key person. Staff plan and provide interesting play activities that develop babies' curiosity. Babies and young children have a calm space for daytime sleeping.
Children are developing important independence skills as they confidently make choices about their play. Older children practise dressing and undressing to build their skills and confidence for when they start school. They enjoy serving their own lunch and helping themselves to more food when they are still hungry. Children enjoy healthy meals and snacks.
All staff have high expectations for every child and understand that each child is different, with their own individual stories to tell. They provide all children with an inclusive environment, where every child is valued for who they are. Staff use positive strategies to manage children's behaviour. Children develop good personal, social and emotional skills, and build confidence in their abilities and develop a positive sense of themselves.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen planning of adult-led activities in order to focus teaching more precisely on the targeted learning intentions for all children n support staff to identify quieter children and consider how to successfully include them more in group sessions.

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.
