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 Sheffield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Sheffield 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 thoroughly enjoy their time in this warm, caring and exciting nursery.
They make strong and sustained progress in all aspects of their learning. Children are extremely well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including starting school. For example, children are highly inquisitive as they search carefully for a wide range of insects in the nursery's exciting woodland area and find out about their different lives and habitats.
Children are safe and secure. They are extremely well behaved. Babies build very strong bonds with the experienced and skilled staff who care for them. They rapidly acquire the confidence to explore the vibrant and tactile environment that they play and learn in. Children learn to recognise and manage the risks in their play. For instance, they learn to work together to use the rope swing safely or develop their climbing and balancing skills in the trees or wooden climbing structure.

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.
