A day nursery in Stoke-On-Trent 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2022. Open since 2014, with 57 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 Stoke-on-Trent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Stoke-on-Trent 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 demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning. For example, babies concentrate as they practise scooping up the coloured rice and pouring it into the funnels, and different-size tubs. Toddlers choose a song to sing by selecting the associated prop. They enjoy singing familiar songs and do the accompanying actions with plenty of enthusiasm and excitement. Toddlers eagerly observe the caterpillars in the nursery as they change into a chrysalis. They excitedly observe a beetle that they discover on the slide outdoors.
Pre-school children enjoy a fun 'bubbly' science experiment. They listen attentively and answer questions, as they watch what happens when food colouring and salt is added to a bottle of lemonade. They look on with wonder and amazement as the lemonade fizzes, and a huge eruption of bubbles shoots high into the air.
Staff make sure that circle time provides the older children with regular structured opportunities to socialise with and learn more about their friends. During such times, older children learn about colours, shapes and numbers. They begin to connect letters to their sounds and confidently name and talk about a range of feelings. Children are happy, confident and well behaved. They develop strong relationships and attachments with staff.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance the already exciting outdoor physical opportunities available, so that the older, more-able children experience an even higher level of physical challenge in their play n encourage children who speak English as an additional language to use their home language during their play even further.

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.
