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 Telford and Wrekin
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Telford and Wrekin 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 are happy and safe at this welcoming and inclusive setting. Staff build warm and nurturing relationships with children. They offer cuddles of reassurance when children are upset and praise them for their efforts and achievements throughout the day. This gives children the confidence to explore their wellresourced environment.
All children thoroughly enjoy their time outdoors. Staff provide an array of stimulating and exciting activities that span all areas of learning. Children are physically active as they race their friends on tricycles and scooters. They expertly negotiate space as they take a tight turn and drive under the bridge. Children practise their mark-making skills as they inspect a real car. They draw ticks and crosses as they follow instructions to check the suitability of the vehicle. Outdoor play opportunities fully enrich children's learning.
Children behave well. Staff offer gentle reminders of the setting's rules throughout the day. Children recall their group-time rules together with the support of visual aids. Staff sensitively support children to understand that their friends with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) may need a little more time or guidance with some activities. As a result, children are patient and show a lot of support to their friends with additional needs.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of routines and activities to enable key persons to support the learning and development of their key children more consistently n provide more consistent challenge and support for children to develop their independence skills and enhance their personal development even further.

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.
