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 Sheffield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sheffield 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
Staff get to know children's interests. They plan exciting and challenging activities.
This means children spend long periods immersed in their learning. For example, children mix water with herbs, flowers and vegetables. They explain that they are making a potion to save their favourite storybook character. Staff help them to recall the story. Children are developing a love of reading. They make good progress in their communication, language and literacy skills.
Staff have high expectations for all children's learning. They regularly observe children to find out what they know and can do. They share information with parents about their child's development. They help parents to support their child's learning at home, for example by providing a lending library and ideas to help children brush their teeth. When children are falling behind in their development, staff work with parents to decide how best to support children to catch up.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen further the support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) by ensuring all staff implement children's support strategies consistently n develop good teaching practices further by ensuring all staff consistently use questioning in a way that extends children's thinking and expressive language skills n extend on opportunities to use children's interests to support their next steps in learning, for example placing favoured activities at the right height for babies who are learning to stand and walk.

- Waiting list
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.
