A day nursery in Wolverhampton for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 1998, with 53 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 Wolverhampton
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Wolverhampton 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 arrive happily at the nursery and settle in quickly to play with their friends.
Staff greet children on arrival with warmth. They are kind and nurturing towards them. This helps children to feel safe and secure in their care.
Children have fun and enjoy a range of exciting activities and experiences that are planned for them or are available for them to choose from. Babies experience and feel the differences in the textures when they play with dough and cereals. They learn new words for their actions, such as 'poke', 'press' and 'squeeze'. They learn words for the sounds the cereals make when they crush them with toy animals as staff say 'crunch, crunch'. Older children use their imagination in the garden. For example, they follow a member of staff as they act out and follow the actions of scenes from a familiar story.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build further on methods to enable children who are in need of additional support to develop their communication skills with others so that they make the most progress they are capable of.

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.
