A day nursery in Burton-On-Trent for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 16:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2024. Open since 2020, with 32 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
Staff greet children with smiles and welcome them into the nursery. Babies who are new, settle well and are comforted by staff if they become upset. Staff sing welcome songs which acknowledge the arrival of children in the morning and afternoon sessions. All children enjoy these familiar songs and copy actions to the words.
The nursery curriculum has a focus on developing children's communication. Staff talk to children during their play and name items they play with. They ask children questions to develop their thinking skills and support them to extend their knowledge of language. Children learn to develop a love of books, as staff often read stories to them. They talk about characters and describe what is happening as they point to pictures.
Children enjoy spending time outside. They have daily opportunities to engage in outdoor play. Staff encourage children to work together as they stack coloured rings onto poles. As children toss the rings into the air and watch them fall, staff support them to share resources and take turns to collect them ready to re-stack.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- implement healthy eating strategies that support children and parents to make healthy choices in relation to food n develop children's independence further, particularly at mealtimes n strengthen the planning of activities so that they excite and motivate children to learn.

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.
