Home Farm Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Bromsgrove for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2023. Open since 2010, with 55 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 Worcestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Worcestershire 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 very settled in this home-from-home environment. They are greeted by familiar staff as they arrive, who welcome them with big smiles.
Staff are kind and caring. There is an effective key-person system in place, which helps children to feel secure. Staff are motivated to support children's learning, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). For example, staff implement strategies that further support children's individual emotional development. Children make good progress from their starting points.
Overall, children engage well in their learning. Staff provide a language-rich environment, introducing new words and sharing knowledge on children's topic of conversation. Children enjoy listening to stories and singing songs. Babies lift the flap in the book and are excited when staff reveal what is under it. Toddlers raise their hands in the air and wiggle their fingers while singing 'twinkle twinkle little star'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - provide targeted professional development opportunities for staff that fully reflect individual training needs n provide older children with more opportunity to be independent and complete tasks 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.
