Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Hourly Rate for 12 months - 2 years : £7.00
One published rate, dated 1st January 2026. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Funded hours
All children aged 3 and 4 will be able to access 15 hours funding. Children from the age of 9 months with working parents may be entitled to funding. Some 2 year old children are eligible for 15 hours funding.
Worth knowing. Additional hours over child's funding will be charged at the hourly rate; hot lunch at additional cost.
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 enjoy the time that they spend at the nursery. They have close bonds with the staff, who are attentive to children's needs and are nurturing. All children make good progress in their learning. They gain a broad range of useful knowledge and skills that prepare them well for school. This includes children who speak English as an additional language and children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff have high expectations of children. Children behave well.
Children develop a love of books and listen attentively when staff read to them.
They confidently share their responses to familiar stories and songs. They recall details about these and sequence events. For example, children know that the verses in a song represent the sequence of events for a caterpillar, such as when it emerges from the egg and later spins itself a cocoon.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- refine the mathematical curriculum and support staff to match learning experiences more precisely to children's current knowledge and understanding - review daily routines to increase opportunities for children to make choices in their play and learning.

Still missing for Twiglets Private Nursery School
- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £7.00 an hour still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
