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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2021. Open since 2009, with 80 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
Staff are nurturing and take time to get to know the needs of all children. Children are happy, and thoroughly enjoy the time they spend at the nursery. Children who are new to the nursery settle well. Babies quickly form close attachments to staff and feel confident to play, and explore their new surroundings.
Children make good progress and gain a wide range of useful skills and knowledge that prepare them well for their future learning. For example, babies who are reluctant to walk or crawl when they first start, swiftly gain the motivation to move and explore. Staff skilfully support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They provide individual learning experiences to help each child progress well.
Staff expertly support children to develop their communication and language skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance staff's understanding of how young children build their mathematical knowledge to help them to gain a deeper understanding of number n increase opportunities for children to express their own creative ideas to help them to develop their thinking skills and independent choices even further.

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.
