Owl & Pussycat Rooms and Fun Club
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Cannock for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2022. Open since 2001, with 52 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 Staffordshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Staffordshire 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 arrive happy and quickly become settled in their play and learning. They have a positive attitude to learning and are eager to join in the activities planned for them. For example, children love making play dough objects, such as birthday cakes and pizza. Staff encourage children to select various-sized objects for decoration. Staff encourage children to count their decorations and discuss the size and shapes they have made. Children also use junk modelling to build houses and select their own resources with confidence. They explain their design and choices to staff.
Staff model good manners and respect. They encourage children to be independent. Children learn to put on their own aprons before playing in the sand.
They wash their own hands and collect their own lunchbox. Children take turns, share and develop friendships. They are kind to one another and behave well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to fully understand how to make the most of teaching opportunities, including at lunchtime, to further build on children's communication and language skills.

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.
