Good★ 3.8 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Leeds for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 to 18:00, 4 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2022. Open since 2003, with 58 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 happy and enjoy their time in this well-planned and inviting environment. They engage in a range of activities and experiences, inside and outside, which help them to grow and develop. Children develop secure relationships with staff, who are kind, caring and friendly. Children show high levels of confidence and self-esteem. Children move freely around the setting, choosing what they would like to play with as they develop their independence. Staff have high expectations for all children.
Children behave well. They are aware of the rules and boundaries that are in place.
Staff are positive role models and teach children about kindness, respect and tolerance. Children learn about different families, cultures and ways of life through discussions, books and themes. For example, children learn about each other and what makes them unique during an 'all about me' topic. They describe what makes them look similar to and different from each other as they make self-portraits. Staff teach children about different countries and how to say some words in different languages.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's questioning skills so that they offer children greater opportunities to share their own thoughts and respond to questions.

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.
