A day nursery in Wolverhampton for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 17:45, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2001, with 41 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 Staffordshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Staffordshire 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 thrive in the secure and exceptionally welcoming environments at this setting. Staff take great care to nurture all children so that they feel safe and well cared for. There are warm, trusting relationships between children and staff.
Children are evidently extremely happy and thoroughly enjoy the time they spend in the setting. They make excellent progress in all aspects of their learning and development.
The setting provides an ambitious, broad curriculum, which is built on children's interests. As a result, children are highly engaged and motivated to learn. Children delight as they take part in an abundance of stimulating learning experiences. For example, they choose to bake shortbread to share with the elderly at the community centre and plant seeds in the outdoor area. Staff skilfully extend children's knowledge and understanding through a vast array of activities, ensuring a careful balance between adult-led and child-initiated activities. Children are exceptionally well prepared to move on to the next stage in their learning, including the move to school, when the time comes. Children learn lifelong skills, including how to be considerate of others. They share resources and take turns as they play.

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.
