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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 December 2023. Open since 2014, 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 arrive happily at the nursery and quickly become engaged in their play and learning. They have formed close bonds with staff. Children have opportunities to access a calming sensory area and young babies have their own space to roll around. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in the care of staff, who are attentive to their individual needs. For example, children often approach staff for a cuddle. Babies confidently explore sensory resources. For instance, they make marks using brushes and their hands in foam. Children explore mixing different colours as they do this and are motivated to learn.
Children learn to confidently express their emotions. They boldly talk about their feelings and are encouraged to be kind to others. Staff adapt their teaching effectively to support children at different stages of their emotional development.
For example, they use puppets and sing to children. All children receive good levels of support and reassurance from staff.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the teaching support for children who are learning to speak English as an additional language and those children who are below expected levels of development in their speaking n strengthen children's opportunities for developing their creativity and imagination.

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.
