What you might pay

What childcare usually costs in Stoke-on-Trent

What it is like to attend
Children demonstrate that they feel safe, happy, settled, and are motivated to participate in the rich learning experiences that staff have prepared. They arrive at the nursery with elevated levels of enthusiasm and anticipation for the day, and excitedly greet their friends and the staff. Staff have a deep understanding of how young children develop, and they plan fun activities to support children's future learning. Staff sing familiar songs with babies and toddlers, and use props and instruments to increase their concentration and enjoyment. They add coloured scarves and play peekaboo games, which delight babies. Babies squeal with laughter and show that they have very strong bonds with staff.
The new manager has supported her team in creating an extremely ambitious curriculum that gives children rich experiences. The whole staff team is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and highly ambitious for all children who attend. The staff continuously seek the views of children, parents and other professionals to review the quality of the provision they provide. Any gaps in children's learning, or identified needs, are communicated to parents. Support is put in place without delay, ensuring that all children make the best possible progress in their learning.
Staff demonstrate their high expectations of children's behaviours, gently correcting unwanted behaviour and reinforcing positive behaviour with their meaningful discussions and praise. On the rare occasion when an unkind interaction occurs, staff are quick to respond and encourage children to remember the 'golden rules'.

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.
