The Children of One End Street
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Stroud 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2023. Open since 2009, with 12 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 Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Gloucestershire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Children are happy to attend. They are welcomed into the kindergarten by the kind and nurturing staff and separate from their parents and carers with ease. Children excitedly greet their peers. They independently take off their coat and hang this on their peg.
Children display positive attitudes to learning. They are familiar with their environment and learn to respect the resources. Children work together as they build structures with large, wooden blocks. They communicate well and negotiate as they decide how to create an 'aeroplane'. Children are thoughtful and explain to visitors that 'it needs two wings or it will be lopsided'.
Staff invite children to help them make bread for their snack. Children follow good hygiene practice. They develop their arm strength and coordination. Children mix liquid into the flour to create a thick dough. Staff support children to recall past learning experiences. For example, they ask children if they can remember the name of the ingredient they use to make the dough rise. Staff praise children's efforts and remind them that this is called 'yeast'. Children proceed to use their hands to roll the dough into balls. They place these on the tray, spacing them evenly, ready for baking.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide children with even more experiences to support their understanding of why a healthy diet is important for their health, to develop their knowledge of healthy lifestyles further n review the current key-person system to help staff and children form even stronger bonds and help them to make even better 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.
