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 are extremely happy at this welcoming and inclusive nursery. Staff are sensitive to children's needs. In particular, they provide babies with the support and reassurance they need if they become unsettled. Children demonstrate that they feel comfortable in their environment and form secure relationships with both the nurturing staff and their peers.
Staff have high expectations for what all children are capable of achieving. The curriculum is built on staff's knowledge of their key children. Most staff carefully consider children's interests and provide an exciting variety of activities for them to join in with. Babies demonstrate good physical skills and make marks on paper using crayons. Toddlers show high levels of enjoyment as they splash in the water tray.
Children benefit from opportunities that promote their independence. For example, pre-school children skilfully chop up their own salad and fruit. Staff supervise children well and praise them for their efforts, which helps build on their confidence and perseverance. Children behave well. They follow simple instructions and are respectful of one another. They are familiar with the routines of the nursery. For instance, toddlers recognise that when they hear the bell ring, it means it is time to tidy up before they get ready to go outdoors.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that all staff, particularly those working with babies and toddlers, fully understand the areas of learning they teach, in order to support children's development to the highest possible level n reflect more rigorously on the overall quality of provision to ensure any emerging areas for development are tackled at the earliest opportunity.

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.
