Teenie Weenies
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Birmingham for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2023. Open since 2016, with 34 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 Birmingham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Birmingham 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 have established a home-from-home environment that positively contributes towards children's good behaviour. Children freely explore a range of resources that reflect those used in the home. They act out real-life scenarios, such as using a tea bag to make a pretend cup of tea. Older children charge their peers 'twenty pounds' for a cup. This shows that children confidently use mathematical concepts, such as number, to enhance their play. Staff ensure that children are happy and feel safe. Older children draw what they would like to be when they grow up. Staff help them to think about their values, hopes and future dreams.
The manager places a strong focus on helping children to learn more about their local community. Children enjoy learning about city life as they take daily walks into the community. Staff purposefully plan outings to enhance children's next steps and interests, such as visits to the train station, where children learn about transport. This helps to build children's curiosity of the world around them. Children enthusiastically talk about their own experiences. They tell staff what number bus they travel on. Children confidently identify numbers, colours, and various types of transport they can see, such as bikes and rainbow-coloured coaches.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to ensure that children have more opportunities to do things for themselves and at their own pace to further build on their confidence and skills.

- 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.
