Right Step Kids Club & Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Stoke-On-Trent 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 September 2022. Open since 2014, with 45 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 Stoke-on-Trent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Stoke-on-Trent 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 happily arrive at the nursery and are greeted by caring staff. Activities that children enjoy are provided, which helps them to settle quickly. Children's behaviour is good. Staff are positive role models and children know what is expected of them. Children of all ages demonstrate good levels of confidence. They can independently access a range of resources that spark their interest and curiosity. Children learn from an early age to share.
Children's physical skills are well supported. They benefit from experiences that help to promote their physical development. For example, children delight in racing together round the outdoor area on bicycles and scooters, and climbing up again and again to go down the slide. Children show great determination and pride as they negotiate the obstacle course. All children enjoy bringing their imagination alive. Older children are able to 'write down' appointments at the 'hairdresser's'.
Younger children take dolls into the 'café' and set the table for them to have their tea. Children join in with action songs and pretend to go on a bear hunt. Staff model language which children repeat and use in their play. This helps to develop children's vocabulary. Children are developing the skills they need for the next stage in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of whole-group activities to support all children to remain engaged and interested in their learning n support staff to develop their teaching practice and interactions with children so that planned activities challenge and extend children's learning.

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.
