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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Outstanding by Ofsted in August 2022. Open since 2015, with 35 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
Children are exceptionally happy, secure and eager to attend the nursery. They have clear and strong relationships with staff and their peers. Staff support all children to become engaged and independent in their learning, especially children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children come in enthusiastically and cannot wait to greet the staff. They have an intense desire to learn.
Children's respect and kindness to one another is awe-inspiring. Staff create an environment of high expectation with clear embedded morals. Children discuss how they can share and take turns among each other. Older children invite their peers to join them in conversation and play. They work together in role play to decorate their 'tepee' they have built. Children discuss and plan how to manoeuvre big resources, such as scaffolding planks and crates, to make bridges. They laugh together on the swing and talk about the books they have read in hammocks.
Children ask questions, enquire and find out information about insects together from books.

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.
