Happy Kidz Day Care
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Wolverhampton for children from birth to 5, open 08:30 to 17:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2024. Open since 2019, with 28 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 Wolverhampton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wolverhampton 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
Staff provide children with an extremely warm welcome as they arrive. They know every child well and build close and secure relationships with them. As a result, children separate from parents with ease and are excited to start their day. They quickly choose the activities they would like to play with and are eager to engage and have fun as they learn. Staff implement a curriculum that is wholly child centred and based on children's individual interests and needs.
Staff are adept at helping children to manage their behaviour and understand their emotions. They talk to children calmly and encourage them to consider the impact that their actions have on others. When children become upset because they want a toy another child has, staff remind them about taking turns and sharing. Staff treat children with respect and initiate good manners as they remind them to say please and thank you. Consequently, children's behaviour across the setting is good. All children, including those with special educational need and/or disabilities
(SEND), make the best progress they are capable of from their individual starting points. Staff recognise where children are in their learning and adapt activities to ensure that every child learns at their own pace and in a way that suits their individual learning style.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide staff with more access to professional development opportunities that help to improve their knowledge and confidence n help staff to recognise when to give children more time to process their thoughts and respond to questions n provide younger children with more opportunities to develop their independence and do things for themselves.

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.
