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 are warmly greeted by the staff team as they arrive at this nurturing preschool. They walk in with their parents and place their coats and bags on their individual pegs. Children learn to recognise their names as they self-register and match their photograph to their name. They engage in planned activities and communicate with the friendly staff as they arrive. They talk about their holidays as they complete mark-making activities. Children learn to hold a pencil as they make marks on paper.
Children behave well and feel safe in the care of the attentive staff. Children follow the routines of the setting and develop good levels of independence. When the music plays, children begin to tidy up the resources. They develop a sense of responsibility and help each other to tidy up. They know when to ask for help, and request assistance from staff when they cannot reach something. Children line up sensibly to wash their hands before mealtimes and independently use the sink.
They have good social skills and take turns to use tongs to select their fruit at snack time. They practise their mathematical skills as they count two pieces of strawberry and two grapes, then encourage their friends to do the same. Children pour their own drinks and drink independently from a cup. They talk to each other about where milk comes from as they enjoy their snacks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- increase opportunities for children to lead their own learning and make decisions in their play to help them to use their knowledge and practise their skills.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £11.00 a session still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
