A day nursery in Birmingham for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in February 2023. Open since 2012, with 52 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 Solihull
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Solihull 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 thrive in this exceptional nursery. They self-register on arrival and are warmly welcomed by the exceptionally friendly and enthusiastic staff team.
Children are excited to enter nursery and keen to see what is on offer in the interesting learning environment. Children are extremely happy and settled in the provision. They seek out staff for comfort and assistance. They confidently ask for help and are enabled by staff to carry out tasks by themselves.
Children are secure in the learning environment. They make independent choices and instigate role play with their peers. Older children play cooperatively and successfully take turns and share resources. For example, during a music session, children offer their own soft toys to others, in order to cheer them up and make sure they feel included.

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.
