GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Sheffield for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 September 2023. Open since 2008, with 42 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 Derbyshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Derbyshire 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's speech, language and communication are given high priority. Staff show a keen interest in what children are doing. They use every opportunity to encourage the use of words and develop children's early conversational skills. For example, babies are fascinated as staff blow bubbles for them to catch. Babies stamp their feet, squealing with excitement as they watch bubbles float in the breeze. Staff say, 'bubble, pop!' which babies excitedly repeat. Even young babies confidently babble back and forth with staff. Toddlers use chunky chalks to draw pictures on the playground. They eagerly tell staff they have drawn the sea, a beach and a shark. Staff encourage children to talk about their holiday. They say,
'splash, splash,' as toddlers giggle, pretending to jump in the sea.
Children are provided with numerous opportunities to do things for themselves.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to manage behaviour consistently to help children enhance their understanding of how their behaviours affect others n organise small group times, with particular reference to the pre-school room, to ensure that children are able to fully engage and do not have their learning disrupted.

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.
