Railway Children Nursery Treeton
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Rotherham 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2023. Open since 2010, with 54 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 Rotherham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Rotherham 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
The management team and staff have made significant improvements since the last inspection. Children appear happy and enjoy their time at the nursery. Babies show that they feel safe. For example, as they enjoy cuddles with staff when they wake from sleep. Staff place photos of children and their families in each room.
They also allow babies to bring in an item from home that helps to comfort them.
Staff understand the impact this has on children's emotional security when they have familiar things around them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to have a clearer understanding of the curriculum intent, so that their teaching consistently focuses on what they want babies to learn next n continue to help staff raise the quality of their teaching and education for children, so that practice is consistently high across the team.

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.
