Little Green Dragons Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Walsall for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2022. Open since 2012, with 65 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 Walsall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Walsall 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 thrive in this wonderful, warm and welcoming environment. Staff are exceptionally experienced and have a wealth of knowledge and understanding of how children learn and develop. Staff are friendly, loving and nurturing. This embeds strong positive relationships between the children and their key persons.
Children feel happy, safe and secure. They explore the well-resourced environment with confidence and enjoyment. Children laugh and giggle and are happy throughout their day at the setting.
New children are quick to settle. Staff carefully plan inviting activities for the children based on their knowledge of what the children like to play with. Staff skilfully build on children's prior knowledge and what they know and can do already. Children are friendly and welcome visitors into their play. They offer visitors a cup of milk as they sit with them at snack time.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's teaching to provide children with resources to fully support their learning n build on staff's practice to help children regulate their behaviour and understand the impact of unwanted behaviours.

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.
