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 Dudley
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Dudley 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
Leaders have made significant improvements since the last inspection. They have worked hard to improve experiences for children. Children show confidence in the nursery environment and are keen to choose something to play with from the resources which are easily accessible to them. Babies seek out soft toys and squeeze them to cuddle them. They make 'ahhh' sounds as they hold the toys tightly. Staff stay close to babies and support them as they practise pulling themselves up on purposely positioned low furniture. Babies smile as they manage to stand with support. They have plenty of opportunities to develop their physical skills because the space has been thoughtfully planned for them to move around freely.
Older children delight in a game of hide and seek. They hide their faces behind cushions as staff count before coming to find them. Children wriggle with excitement as they hear staff coming to find them. As staff discover where they are, children jump and laugh with enjoyment. Children then swap roles and count as staff hide from them. They practise their counting skills as they count from one to ten in order. They are proud of their victory when they find where staff have hidden.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- look at the way routines are managed to ensure children are not waiting for prolonged periods of time, particularly at mealtimes n support staff to implement what they have learned on training into the learning experiences they offer children n review how activities are planned and delivered, so that children's learning can be extended even further.

Still missing for Little Bam Bams Curiosity Village
- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
