A day nursery in Wolverhampton for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2023. Open since 2004, with 76 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 are keen to get started on their day as they arrive at nursery and separate confidently from their parents. They receive a warm welcome from staff and demonstrate feelings of connection and belonging. Children are curious and excited to get involved in the play opportunities on offer. They actively take a lead in their learning and make informed choices about the resources and equipment they use in their play. This promotes the development of their imagination and creativity.
For example, some children create a game using crates where they pretend to travel together on the bus. Other children use long sticks to pretend to fish for sharks.
Children's physical health is effectively promoted. They spend prolonged periods of uninterrupted playtime in the large, outdoor play space. Children benefit from fresh air and exercise, and they learn about the functions of their bodies. For example, they know that their lungs are used for breathing air in and out. Children learn through everyday routines about healthy growth and development. They are keen to share their knowledge about oral health and know that they should only eat small amounts of sugar, as it is not good for their teeth.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to extend their teaching to routinely help children to develop further their understanding of cooperation and turn-taking.

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.
