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 Staffordshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Staffordshire 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 arrive enthusiastically at the nursery, eager to see their friends and access the wide range of activities which are on offer for them. Staff meet children at the door and welcome them in with big smiles. Children show that they feel safe and secure, as they separate from parents with ease. Young babies are cared for by staff who are kind and nurturing. Babies enjoy manipulating play dough. Staff model how to use cutters and tools. This helps babies to understand how to use them effectively. The squishing and squeezing of the play dough supports babies to build strength and dexterity in their hands and fingers.
Older children freely choose the activities they want to participate in. Staff deployment is effective and allows children to freely play indoors or outdoors.
Covered areas outdoors means that the same curriculum is provided as it is indoors, such as literacy in the form of books and writing resources. This ensures that those children who wish to be outdoors are still experiencing the same level of learning. Children are curious and confident about their learning. Staff provide access to real fruit, seeds, and potpourri in the role play home area. Children experiment with segments of oranges and kiwis as they make marks on paper or mix the fruit with seeds. They cut into apples and smell the limes. Staff skilfully interact alongside children as they show them pictures of recipes. This inspires children to scoop, pour and mix the ingredients together to make their own recipes.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to consistently use the newly implemented behaviour strategies to ensure they are fully embedded n review the environment for babies to ensure it meets all their psychical development needs, especially for those who are not yet confident walkers.

Still missing for Tiny Toez @ Cannock
- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- 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.
