A day nursery in Birmingham 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2022. Open since 2015, with 40 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 arrive confidently, ready for an exciting day. They play freely and are able to make independent choices about the areas they wish to play in. Children enjoy playing in the home corner. They use play dough to make pancakes. Children demonstrate kindness and respect towards each other as they use 'please' and
'thank you' when asking their friends for objects to make their pancakes and the toppings. This shows the relationships which are formed, with the support and guidance from enthusiastic staff, who act as caring role models towards the children.
Children show confidence and self-motivation. For example, a group of children take it in turns to stand up in the 'cosy area' and create a 'made-up' story. They ask their friends for input, such as the character's name, or if they want the story to be scary or funny. Children speak freely to each other and demonstrate their positive experiences of being at nursery. Staff praise the children for their story, boosting their confidence and self-esteem, and children's pride from receiving praise is displayed on their faces.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide children with activities that have purpose and intent, to allow them to develop to their full learning potential n encourage staff to help younger children be more independent and carry out tasks for themselves.

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.
