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
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Tameside 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 happily enter the setting and eagerly explore the well-resourced learning environment. Children feel safe and secure. They quickly form emotional attachments to their key person. Children who are settling in enjoy positive interactions, which helps to support their emotional well-being. Staff get to know the children well, to get a clear understanding of children's starting points. Children play outside in a safe, well-planned area, with tricycles, a mud kitchen and space to move around. This helps to promote their physical skills. Children delight in catching falling snowdrops and watching them melt in their hands, helping to expand their understanding of the weather.
Children concentrate with intent while playing cooperatively with a train track. They work well together to share the pieces, helping each other to fit them together.
Children show good behaviour and attitudes towards their learning and with each other. During group activities, older children name and describe animals and musical instruments. Children talk about a zebra's colours and pattern, while others excitedly tell the group that zebras can be found in the zoo. They take turns to answer questions, developing their listening and attention skills. Children are engrossed in balancing blocks on a tall tower. Staff further extend this opportunity by naming the number of blocks. This supports children's mathematical knowledge.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to improve staff's knowledge in implementing the curriculum, to enable all children, including those with SEND, to achieve the best possible outcomes.

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.
