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
The manager and staff implement a unique and tailor-made curriculum that is specially designed to inspire and motivate children. Children demonstrate that they are highly confident and imaginative in their play. For instance, they independently access water, use soil and natural ingredients during outdoor play games to create imaginary 'crumble' from their favourite story books. Children benefit from enhanced, focused play and learning activities that help to shape their understanding of their natural world. This includes using magnifying glasses to look for insects. Staff introduce rich language to children and ask questions as children play. This helps to build on children's excellent thinking skills. Young babies explore a valuable herb garden environment with different scents and textures. Children's exploratory skills and learning are sequenced throughout various ages and developmental stages of children.
Staff are superb role models. They show enthusiasm and excitement as they read books. They use stories and characters to help children to regulate their own emotions. For instance, children join in with stimulating large-group activities using boxes to create a large scale version of a friendly, colourful monster from their favourite story book. Babies show that they settle in very quickly and have a strong attachment to the staff that care for them. They cuddle into staff and gaze at them while talking and listening to songs.

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.
