Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
What childcare usually costs in Worcestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Worcestershire 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 settled in this homely environment. They form close relationships with staff and their peers and actively include them in their play.
Children are confident and chat happily to visitors and staff.
Children work well together to solve problems and carry out daily routines. Younger children play with trucks. They consider how to push the trucks up a slope without them rolling back down. Older children help to lay the table at lunchtime. They work together to make sure they have enough cups and cloths for each of the children.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- implement more-effective supervisions which recognise staff professional development opportunities and training needs and help raise the quality of the already good practice n review the current behaviour management procedures and support staff to consistently deal with behaviour in an appropriate manner n share even more information with parents about their child's learning and support them to continue children's learning at home.

Still missing for Mayfield House Kindergarten
- Youngest age taken
- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £85.60 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
