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 Stockton-on-Tees
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Stockton-on-Tees 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 excited to attend and enter the setting eager to learn. They confidently make decisions about what they want to play with and learn. For example, in the outdoor area, toddlers decide to collect water using watering cans and pans then use it to mix the soil, lemons and limes together. Babies settle well into routines that carefully consider their individual needs and match those at home. They seek comfort and reassurance and enjoy regular cuddles with familiar adults. Older children engage well in activities and show a positive attitude to learning. They are confident and eager to share what they know with staff and other children. For example, they chat to staff and their friends about where they found their collection of leaves, fir cones and conkers.
Older children make their own pizzas. They listen with anticipation as staff explain how to make dough. They have fun adding the different ingredients and kneading the dough with their hands. Children excitedly exclaim that their hands are all sticky. They describe how they are rolling the dough and the ingredients they want to use. Staff incorporate mathematical language such as 'bigger' and 'more than'.
Children discover that they can make marks in the flour using their fingers and with their shoes. This helps to promote early writing skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - guide staff working with toddlers to recognise and more consistently use opportunities to extend children's learning during activities that children have chosen to engage in n support staff to maintain the quality of interaction with children, especially at times of transition between routine activities, to ensure that they continue to enjoy a high standard of play, teaching and learning.

- 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.
