GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Stoke on Trent for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2025. Open since 2021, with 90 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 Stoke-on-Trent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Stoke-on-Trent 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
Leaders and staff work together to create a safe, welcoming place where children feel secure and make good progress. From the earliest stages, staff tune in to babies' needs, offering warmth and comfort so they are confident to explore. Older children also benefit from the strong bonds they form with staff, seeking reassurance when needed and showing trust in adults who listen to them. Across the setting, staff supervise carefully and respond swiftly if children need help, so children are safe and well supported in their play.
Leaders have introduced a new curriculum that gives staff clear guidance on what children need to learn and when. They have organised the learning environment so that children build securely on prior knowledge. For example, staff help younger children to develop confidence with early physical skills. Staff working with toddlers introduce turn-taking and problem-solving. Pre-school children extend their independence and critical thinking. Children gain the early foundations for future learning, becoming confident communicators and independent learners who are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
Staff establish clear routines and model respectful interactions so children learn about expectations. This helps to create a calm atmosphere where children are motivated to play and eager to learn.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- make better use of information gathered from monitoring practice to help staff consistently to extend challenge and further support children's progress n extend the consistency and detail of daily communication with parents so that all families are equally well informed about their child's learning and experiences.

Still missing for Tiny Toez @ Eastvalley
- 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.
