Greenfield Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Stourbridge for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2013, with 26 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 Dudley
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Dudley 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 move freely between the indoors and outdoors. They play outdoors for extended periods throughout the day. Staff are highly focused on encouraging children to be active, curious and self-directed learners. For example, children discover a spider in its web and look on with awe and wonder. They look under stones for woodlice to feed the spider.
Children enjoy listening to a fairy tale about a boy who grows a beanstalk and then climbs up it. Staff plan post-reading activities that help to consolidate children's learning. For instance, children learn about plant parts and life cycles as they observe their own bean plant growing and getting taller. Staff retell the story as they draw pictures on the whiteboard. This helps children to understand that mark making can carry meaning. During such activities, staff model new vocabulary, such as 'goose', 'golden egg' and 'giant'.
Staff make sure that the daily circle time provides children with regular opportunities to think and increase their knowledge. Children learn about the days of the week, the months of the year and the weather. They count the children present and begin to recognise numbers. Children recognise their own name and begin to identify the initial letter sound. Children are happy and confident communicators. They freely chat to staff, visitors and their friends.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- use the information gathered from observing children, even more effectively, to help children make rapid progress n help children to learn how to express their feelings in a positive way so that they can self-regulate their emotions, thoughts and behaviour.

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.
