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 Rotherham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Rotherham 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 confident and full of smiles at this welcoming nursery. Children are learning to be independent. They tidy up after themselves and respond to prompts and instructions from staff. For example, children wash their hands before lunch.
They clear away their own plates and cups with ease. Children are familiar with the nursery routine and what staff expect of them.
Children enjoy a wide range of activities provided for them. They laugh as they bang drums and sing familiar songs. Babies practise taking turns as they roll a ball to a staff member. They put their hands in the air as they guess which way the ball will roll. Children concentrate as they put one block on top of another and name the colours of the blocks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- monitor the effectiveness of existing communication methods with parents to ensure that all parents are regularly accessing information about their child, in particular to help them understand their child's next steps in learning.

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.
