GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Leeds for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 January 2023. Open since 2015, with 30 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 Leeds
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leeds 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 are kind and helpful. They share resources and engage when playing together. Children help their friends to tidy up resources. Staff model good behaviours, including using 'please' and 'thank you' when talking. Children learn from this and use their manners when talking to their peers, showing respect and understanding for each other. Children are confident to speak to the visiting inspector. They demonstrate how proud they are of their own achievements and those of others. They clap and comment, 'Well done,' when children are dancing, showing how proud they are of their friends.
Children are keen learners and show that they thoroughly enjoy the activities provided. For example, babies are curious to investigate trays of cornflour 'gloop'
and shaving foam using their hands. Older children learn about hibernation and the changing of seasons. Staff set up a winter scene with toy polar bears and penguins. They talk to children about the North and South Poles and animal habitats. There are many opportunities for children to develop their independence.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to consistently ask questions which promote younger children's thinking skills and allow time for them to respond n strengthen staff's knowledge of how to develop older children's early literacy skills 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.
