A day nursery in Burton-On-Trent 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 July 2023. Open since 2002, with 32 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 form strong bonds with the caring and attentive staff. They demonstrate that they feel safe and secure within this nurturing environment. Children have fun and enjoy the learning opportunities and activities that are planned to reflect their personal interests. Staff support the communication and language development of children well. As older children enjoy exploring maps, staff introduce and use vocabulary such as 'country', 'customs' and 'traditions'. This helps children to develop their language skills and their understanding of how to express themselves and their feelings. Children develop an understanding of the world around them.
They grow fruit and vegetables to eat, and they help to take care of the nursery's pet rabbits.
Very young children develop physical skills as they enjoy stamping their feet and clapping their hands while singing along to familiar songs. They smile and giggle with pride as they successfully follow instructions and move different parts of their body. Children behave well. They play happily with their friends, using gentle hands and kind words. Staff support children to lead healthy lifestyles. Children enjoy eating healthy snacks and meals, such as chicken casserole. Children learn about oral health and foods that are good for their teeth. Staff promote good hygiene routines. Children quickly establish independence in managing their personal care needs, such as washing their hands before eating and after visiting the bathroom.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan and implement more intentional learning opportunities, especially for younger children, that enhance their learning and help them to make the best possible progress.

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.
