Rosedene Ormesby
Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Middlesbrough for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2023. Open since 2006, with 52 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 Redcar and Cleveland
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Redcar and Cleveland 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 content in the care of the staff at this nurturing nursery. They happily leave their parents and carers at the door, waving goodbye and smiling before joining their friends. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure, such as when they confidently welcome and talk to new visitors to the setting.
Staff have high expectations for children, who are kind and behave well. Staff provide age-appropriate strategies and encouragement, where necessary, to help children learn about sharing and turn-taking. At circle time, children take it in turns to talk. For example, they pass a soft toy around to indicate that it is their turn to talk. This helps children to understand that their voice and opinions matter.
Children enjoy being outdoors. They test their physical skills by moving in various ways, such as balancing and digging. Staff confidently follow children's interests to incorporate what they want children to learn. For example, children learn about numbers. They delight in finding a spider in a big box. Staff tune in to this interest, asking children questions about spiders, including how many legs a spider has. This helps children to make good progress in their learning and development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend older children's mathematical development further to build on what children already know and can do n support children during mealtimes to promote their self-help and independence skills, particularly in the use of cutlery.

- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
