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 Middlesbrough
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Middlesbrough 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 benefit from a wealth of highly stimulating learning opportunities in this welcoming nursery. Staff have created a wonderful learning environment, both inside and in the large outdoor space. Resources and activities are carefully planned to promote children's curiosity. Babies show considerable levels of concentration as they engage in sensory play. They watch with interest and then copy as staff show them how to use different musical instruments. Older children work together as they hunt for insects. They confidently explain to the inspector the best places to look for them. They use magnifying glasses, books, and pictures to help them to identify what they find. Children persevere as they work out how to open different bottles and jars as they mix magic potions. Staff encourage them to use their imaginations to make up stories as they play. These experiences help children to build on their confidence and to develop a real love of learning.
The importance of ensuring children feel safe and secure is evident throughout the nursery. Carefully planned visits help new children to settle and to form attachments with staff. All staff know the children and their families incredibly well.
They are highly attentive to children's needs, recognising when they need reassurance or support. At the same time, they are highly skilled at encouraging children to do things for themselves. The youngest children's physical development is promoted as staff allow children to try to crawl out of the sandpit. Toddlers are carefully supervised when they decide they want to see what happens when they ride their tricycles down a slope. Older children show real focus as they practise cutting their own fruit. Children's behaviour is excellent, and the atmosphere within the nursery is calm and purposeful. Staff treat children with genuine kindness and respect.

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.
