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
Children are excited to arrive at the nursery. They receive a warm welcome from familiar staff who are kind and nurturing towards them. Children form close relationships with staff and are happy and contented in their care. They readily go to staff for comfort and cuddles, which they receive in abundance. This helps them to feel safe and secure in their care. Staff use their highly effective skills to engage children in purposeful learning during play and routines. For example, pre-toddlers are motivated and eager to explore role play, taking out jugs, play food and utensils. Staff comment on what children do next and children smile and pause, to wait for their commentary. Staff include action words in the context of what is taking place, for children to hear and understand.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. This is because staff use a gentle approach to help children learn about and understand their emotions and their impact on others. Staff intentionally model kind and respectful behaviours between themselves and children. Over time, children make very rapid progress. They develop the skills and understanding they need to enable them to make and sustain friendships with their peers and are very well prepared for their move on to school.

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.
