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 arrive happy and excited to begin their day. They separate from their parents and carers with ease. Children have strong attachments with the kind and caring staff. They receive plenty of cuddles and reassurance, when needed. Babies grow in confidence with the warm care that they receive from staff, who have a strong understanding of their needs and interests. Staff are friendly and patient and offer regular gentle reminders of the rules. They encourage and praise the children throughout the day. This helps to support children's self-esteem and emotional development.
Children enjoy a range of activities provided. For example, children play with a water table set up as a swimming pool, when they show an interest in swimming.
They enjoy a ball game outdoors and kick balls to see them bounce on the crates.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to build on their good quality of teaching, particularly regarding the opportunities to help children enhance their vocabulary and language skills n help children to become more aware of how their actions may impact on others and to take more responsibility for their environment and equipment.

Still missing for Fig Tree Day Nursery
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £45.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
