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 Tameside

What it is like to attend
The motto of 'giving children the best start for their future' is what makes this nursery so special. Children cannot contain their excitement as they arrive at this vibrant nursery. Their singing fills the air and they are eager to play with their friends. Some routines are slightly different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, extra hygiene measures are in place and children are taught about the importance of washing their hands. Everywhere you look, children are engaged and motivated to learn. They show positive attitudes towards their learning and behave well. Children relish opportunities to welcome visitors to their nursery. Older children tell the inspector that they 'love to come to the nursery'.
Children have a strong sense of belonging and settle well. They embrace staff with hugs, and beam with delight when they see their key person. Babies enjoy exploring paint. They show excellent levels of perseverance while learning how to operate electronic toys. Toddlers enjoy exploring toy boats in water. They fascinate while talking about what they might see in the woodland. Pre-school children discuss caring for the pet fish and excitedly talk about a recent visit to the local icecream van. Children develop good levels of independence. They feed themselves, help to tidy toys away, and are well prepared for their move on to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to better understand what leaders intend them to teach children n strengthen children's communication and language skills, by supporting staff to use the correct vocabulary and provide children more time to respond to questions n refine the curriculum to support children to learn about similarities and differences beyond their own 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.
