Ash Green Nursery
OutstandingBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Halifax for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in December 2022. Open since 2014, with 15 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 Calderdale
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Calderdale 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 flourish and have immense fun in this safe and inspiring nursery, which gives them the best possible start in life. Highly skilled leaders and staff have superior aspirations for all families and an in-depth understanding of their unique needs. All children make significant progress from their starting points on entry.
This is because staff work tirelessly to remove barriers to children's learning. They place inclusion at the very heart of their first-class curriculum and care practices.
Most children transition to the local primary school's nursery when they are aged three years. They leave with the fundamental skills and foundations that support their future learning. Children are happy, inquisitive, independent and eager learners. They quickly settle and thrive on the loving greetings which they receive from staff, who they are very attached to. This helps children to develop high levels of emotional well-being. Children behave extremely well because of staff's excellent role modelling.

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.
