Pride & Joy Childcare
OutstandingBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Birmingham for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2023. Open since 2013, with 32 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 Worcestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Worcestershire 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 receive excellent care and education in this nurturing environment. They happily enter the setting, warmly greeted by their key persons. The familiar routine ensures that children know what is happening next. This all helps children to feel safe and secure. The curriculum is meticulously planned and builds on what children already know and can do. Children show increasingly high levels of engagement across the age groups. They confidently join in with a range of activities that follow their interests and motivate them to learn.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. Children use good manners and are respectful to staff and their peers. Staff support them by consistently modelling the setting's rules. They sensitively remind children to use kind hands, walking feet, listening ears, looking eyes and to be kind and respectful to each other. Staff use positive reinforcement, praise and rewards to promote these behaviours.
Staff support children to develop their communication, language and early literacy skills. Babies happily join in with music sessions. They follow instructions, copy actions, clap hands and shake maracas as they move to the music. Staff encourage two-year-old children to use their listening ears as they engage with songs and stories. Pre-school children show sustained concentration as they participate in

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.
