Priory Poppets
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2019, though that is 6 years ago now. Open since 2005, with 100 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 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
Staff build close, trusting relationships with children. Their commitment to providing outstanding care and learning for all children is infectious. Staff use their knowledge of children's abilities and future learning to focus sharply on ways to stimulate, motivate and challenge children through an excellent range of activities and experiences. As a result, children flourish in this exceptional nursery. Children relish being outdoors. They rustle through the fallen leaves and staff encourage them to express what they are doing and the sounds that they can hear. Children develop an excellent understanding of right from wrong and staff support children as they learn to negotiate from an early age. Children show high levels of confidence and independence. Their manners are excellent and their care and kindness towards each other is impeccable. Babies and young children relish opportunities to explore. Staff nurture children, meeting their individual needs at all times, and babies and young children clearly value time with them. Children develop a strong understanding of the wider world and diversity. They learn about their own uniqueness and the traditions and cultures of others. Children show high levels of interest as they learn why we wear poppies on Remembrance Day.

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.
