Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
15 hours free Nursery Education Funding to children over 3 years, which is fully flexible to suit your needs and is also a member of the You and Two scheme, which offers 15 hours free a week to eligible 2 year olds.
Worth knowing. Voluntary enrichment contribution: £8.50 Full Day, £6 Morning Session, £4.50 Afternoon Session. If you choose to opt out, you will need to provide meals that are equivalent to our weekly nursery menu. Access to the Famly app, educational visits, special events and other optional enrichment experiences funded through the voluntary contribution will not be included.
What childcare usually costs in Kirklees
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kirklees from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

Where it is

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.
Still missing for Childs Play
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £62.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
