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 Oldham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Oldham 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 greeted by attentive staff who meet their individual needs. Staff engage in warm interactions with every child promoting a positive emotional environment. This supports all children's good well-being and helps them feel secure. Staff build close and respectful relationships with children and their families. Consequently, staff know children's interests and unique personalities well.
Leaders and staff enable children to take part in a wide range of learning opportunities, including those that develop their understanding of the world around them. For instance, older children take part in experiments to find out why clouds produce rain. Younger children learn about colours and tastes as they make fruit kebabs. Staff have created a consistent routine that enables children to spend their time in the nursery engaged in meaningful learning activities both inside and outside.
Since the last inspection leaders have prioritised staff training and development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to support staff to develop the quality of their teaching to challenge children's thinking and build on what they know n support staff to consistently model the correct language and pronunciation to further support children's good communication and language development.

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.
