Treetops Kindergarden
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Cannock 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 December 2024. Open since 2020, with 65 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 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
Leaders and staff currently focus on supporting children's communication and language as a priority. Staff provide children with good language models and interactions that purposefully support the children in the different rooms. For example, they provide Christmas craft activities to encourage children to talk about the celebration and their own experiences of this. When needed, leaders and staff provide children with language interventions, such as through the use of picture prompts to support their understanding of words.
Leaders understand the overall development needs of the children and ensure that the curriculum is designed to provide children with opportunities they may not have at home. For example, leaders have introduced regular cooking sessions for older children, so they can develop life skills and knowledge of how to prepare and cook a range of food. They have a purposeful designed kitchen area, so children can be fully involved in the process. Staff repeat some activities throughout the week, so all children can have the same opportunities regardless of the days they attend.
The key person system is designed to ensure that children can form close attachments with staff. Staff note which staff member the children connect with when they decide who will be the key person. This helps children to form close attachments from the onset. Staff provide children with gentle reminders about the expectations throughout the day, and children respond with respect and understanding.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- monitor staff's practice with more rigour to ensure the highest quality provision for children across the setting n support staff to plan learning experiences that are fully effective in supporting children's next steps in learning.

Still missing for Treetops Kindergarden
- 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.
