A day nursery in Birmingham for children from birth to 5, open 07:00 to 19:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in October 2022. Open since 2014, with 56 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 Birmingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Birmingham 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 setting and make exceptional progress from their starting points. Staff plan learning for children based on their highlighted interests, initially using an 'invitation to play' to start the process. Staff create meaningful relationships with children and families. Learning environments are well organised, bright and very clean. Children are happy and can talk about what they enjoy learning at the setting. Multiple children talk about their recent learning around
'Jack and the Beanstalk', including showing props and acting out the story.
Children's behaviour is excellent. The setting uses six golden rules to teach children about behavioural expectations, and each rule is linked to an animal to help children understand them.

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.
