A day nursery in Rotherham for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in November 2023. Open since 1993, with 49 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 Rotherham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Rotherham 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 flourish in this extremely warm and welcoming environment. Staff are quick to greet children as they arrive and take a genuine interest in their news.
Staff ensure all children's emotional needs are extremely well met. Children's selfesteem is enhanced as staff take all opportunities to positively praise children, regardless of how small their achievement may be. Children have an excellent understanding of how their actions affect others. Children problem solve, think critically and are highly independent. They listen very well, follow instructions and concentrate for long periods of time. For example, children are highly motivated to learn as they make their own play dough.
The nursery provides home-cooked, healthy and nutritionally balanced meals and snacks. Superb opportunities are provided for children to develop their physical skills and take risks in their play. For instance, they learn how to safely balance on beams, climb on outdoor equipment and negotiate space in the garden. Staff focus on children's oral health daily. This contributes excellently towards children developing an understanding of the importance of good health.

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.
