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 East Riding of Yorkshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in East Riding of Yorkshire 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
Leaders have created a curriculum that helps children to become confident, independent learners. The provider understands the impact that the COVID-19
pandemic has had on children's development. It has sensibly placed a firm focus on supporting children's personal, social and emotional development. The success of this approach shows clearly in children's increasing independence and good behaviour. Children are happy and very settled in their relationships with staff. This shows that they feel safe at the setting.
Children confidently engage in a wide range of activities that help them to make good progress in all areas of learning and development. Older children have fun as they search the classroom for various shapes. Encouraged by staff, they name the shapes and recognise similarities and differences. Babies boldly explore their interesting resources. They are motivated to try again when they find out how to make the balls light up. Children show positive attitudes to their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- be more precise about the knowledge and skills individual children need to acquire and practise so this can be more effectively shared with all staff and parents n consider seeking out specialist behaviour training or guidance to provide even better support to children and their carers.

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.
