Little Kids Kingdom
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in West Bromwich for children from birth to 8+, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2024. Open since 2021, with 51 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 Sandwell
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sandwell 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 happy and content in this welcoming and inclusive nursery. They are warmly welcomed by a happy and nurturing staff team. All children confidently leave their parents at the door and engage in a range of activities that have been planned for them. They role play making pizzas, offering staff their favourite toppings. They explore sand trays, filling and emptying containers, and learn mathematical language as they engage in a messy play activity. Children play happily alongside their friends.
The nursery thoroughly embraces diversity. Children learn about the uniqueness of themselves and their friends. Staff provide a safe environment where children are confident to explore why some children sound different and why they may eat different foods based on their religious beliefs. This supports children to develop strong values for later in life.
Children behave well. At the ring of a bell, all children stop what they are doing, wave their hands in the air and wait for their next instruction from staff. Visual timetables ensure that all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and children who speak English as an additional language, know what is happening next. This creates a calm and productive environment for children to learn and play.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen partnerships with parents further by offering more regular updates on children's development and providing a platform to gather their views of the nursery n refine the organisation of mealtimes to further support children's personal, social and emotional development and independence skills.

- 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.
