Forsbrook Nursery & Childcare
OutstandingBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Stoke-On-Trent for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in April 2025. Open since 2013, with 73 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 who attend the nursery receive an excellent start to their early years education. Dedicated and highly skilled staff place children and their families at the heart of everything they do. Staff model for children how they want them to behave. They help children to learn to share and take turns. Children are kind to each other and demonstrate this as they play and talk together harmoniously.
Children can be seen managing their own emotions, comforting each other and organising their own play. For example, pre-school children independently play with musical instruments, and as children come over to join in, they organise their play so each child has a role and a different instrument to play, showing excellent collaboration skills.
Leaders work tirelessly alongside staff to create a unique, ambitious and meticulously sequenced curriculum. Daily discussions between staff about children's progress help to shape and evolve the curriculum. This helps to ensure that the needs of all children, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are consistently well met. All children make excellent progress from their individual starting points.

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.
