GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Tamworth for children from birth to 8+, open 08:30 to 15:30, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2013, with 28 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 Warwickshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warwickshire 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 have fun and thrive at this nurturing pre-school. They feel safe and secure and develop their confidence well. Children build strong relationships with their key person. Staff have high expectations for children and, as such, they behave well.
Children use good manners, share and take turns as they play. Children are regularly praised for their achievements, which encourages them to keep learning and practising new skills. Children are encouraged to develop their imaginations.
For example, they buy food and count out change as they play 'shops'. Children develop their independence well. They actively make their own choices during their play and put on their own coats and wellingtons when they go outside.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to consider staff deployment so that all children benefit from the highest quality interactions at all times, supporting them to make even greater progress n further build on partnerships with other settings so that information about what children know and can do is shared and can be used to support planning at the earliest opportunity.

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.
