Happy Corner Nursery Sheldon
Ofsted report card Nov 2025Takes funded hoursBirth to 5Open a few years
A pre-school in Birmingham for from 2 years up to 5 year olds, open 08:30 to 15:00, 5 days a week. They take the funded hours. They do not publish prices, so ask. Inspected under Ofsted's new report card in November 2025. Open since 2023, with 35 places.
What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
Worth knowing. Funded places will incur a fee of £2.50 per day unless eligible for Free School Meals.
What childcare usually costs in Birmingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Birmingham from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.
Places, hours and the day
Who they take, when they are open, and what a day there includes.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
