Play-Days Corporation Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Newport 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 April 2023. Open since 2011, with 36 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 Telford and Wrekin
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Telford and Wrekin 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 happy and friendly nursery. They arrive happily and quickly become immersed in their play and learning. Children who are new to the nursery settle very quickly and show that they feel happy and secure. Babies respond well to the nurturing and attentive interactions that staff provide.
Staff have high expectations of children. Children understand the rules and behave well. Staff ensure that babies and younger children interact and learn from each other. This supports their social skills well. Babies enjoy the opportunities to play alongside older children. They are keen to copy what older children do, such as challenging themselves to climb up the slide. Staff supervise babies very well so they can have access to a good level of safe physical challenges.
Children are creative and enjoy using their imagination in their play. Staff design the learning environment to reflect this. Older children access various tools as they design and make. They teach their friends how to make a mobile phone out of paper then use these in their role play. Younger children pretend to cook in the mud kitchen outdoors and tell staff that they are making mud soup.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- identify how the overarching curriculum can be sequenced more precisely to further support staff in their planning for children's learning n help staff to use their knowledge of each child's targets to plan learning experiences that precisely reflect children's individual development needs.

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.
