Byaan Daycare
GoodBirth to 5Open a few years
A pre-school in Leicester for children from birth to 5, open 08:00 to 16:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2024. Open since 2021, with 73 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 Leicester
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicester 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 smile as they happily arrive at the nursery and are keen to get ready to go outside. They practice their physical skills as they confidently explore the outdoor area and the equipment set out by staff. Young children learn to climb the steps to the slide safely. Staff encourage them to continue until they reach the top. Older children develop hand-eye coordination as they use bats and balls. This helps children develop large-muscle skills and coordination. Children learn to behave well and follow staff's instructions. They tidy away resources and line up to go back inside. Staff promote children's independence skills as they encourage them to take off their coats. Children recall previous learning as they put their coats away. Staff support children's social skills as they sit together for a snack. They encourage children to take turns and remind them to say 'please' and 'thank you' as they pass plates and fruit to their friends.
Children learn to concentrate as they fill different-sized containers with water. Staff help them to understand the different properties of water. They promote children's language and introduce new vocabulary, such as 'full' and 'empty'. When children spill water on the floor, staff encourage them to mop it up and talk about how this will keep them safe. Older children practise their mark-making skills. When they find it tricky, staff support them to keep on trying. Children learn to persevere and celebrate when they are successful.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff interactions to help children learn new skills during their independent play.

Still missing for Byaan Daycare
- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
