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 Sheffield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sheffield 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 enter happily and settle quickly on arrival, swiftly becoming immersed in their play. They form close bonds with the caring and kind staff. This helps children to feel safe and secure, alongside the consistent and well-organised routines that children are clearly familiar with. Changes to the drop off and collection arrangements, following the COVID-19 pandemic, have not affected children. Staff greet children at the gate and share important information with parents. Children make good progress because staff have high expectations of what they can achieve. This includes children who receive additional funding, those who speak
English as an additional language and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities .
Children enjoy the activities on offer and there is a strong focus on outdoor play.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop even further all staff's understanding of how to encourage and support children's curiosity to explore and experiment fully during creative activities n extend staff's knowledge to help them consistently share precise information with parents about their children's development.

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.
