A day nursery in Heights Lane for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 19:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2024. Open since 2003, with 56 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 Bradford
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bradford 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 show positive attitudes towards their learning across the nursery. They receive time and support from staff to explore all areas of the nursery freely and make choices about their play. This supports their learning across all areas of development. Staff offer empathy and comfort to children who are new to the nursery and need further reassurance. Staff get to know children well and offer play opportunities that are tailored to their interests and next steps in learning.
Staff display high levels of interest in children's play, and, as a result, children thrive in their care.
Children receive many opportunities to develop their physical skills. For example, children manipulate play dough and scoop sand. They enjoy making marks in cornflour and paint. Children learn how to move around freely and avoid obstacles as they run in grass and leaves. They use climbing frames and balancing beams.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide support to ensure consistently high-quality interactions with children to build on what children already know and can do and further challenge their learning.

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.
