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 are happy in this nurturing setting. Staff implement a well-planned, gradual settling-in process to help children quickly become emotionally secure.
Children arrive enthusiastically, waving goodbye to their parents as they go in to join their friends to play. They demonstrate a positive attitude towards learning and enjoy interactions with each other. Children demonstrate that they feel safe.
They approach staff and visitors with confidence. Children develop strong bonds with staff, which helps them to settle. They concentrate for an extended length of time as they pull and feel the play dough. Staff introduce new vocabulary as children manipulate the dough, such as 'soft' and 'squishy' as they describe the texture of the play dough. Children use a range of tools to roll, shape and cut the play dough. This helps children to develop the fine motor skills that they will need to be able to write.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to implement precise learning intentions of activities more effectively, so that they are clear about what skills and knowledge they want children to gain n review the implementation of group times to ensure that distractions are minimised and children fully engage in their learning.

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.
