A day nursery in Telford for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in December 2024. Open since 2017, with 128 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 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, settled and content at this nursery. Staff warmly welcome children on arrival and take time to chat to them and their families. Leaders prioritise children's individual needs and implement a carefully considered keyperson approach. Staff are kind, caring and considerate. For example, they offer younger children hugs and reassurance and help and guide older children as they play or learn new skills.
Leaders and staff place a high priority on supporting children's emotional security.
Staff successfully engage children in a variety of techniques to help them to recognise their feelings and begin to regulate their emotions. For example, small, soft teddies depicting the emotions 'happy', 'sad', 'worried', 'angry' and 'surprised'

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.
