Cliffe House Day Nurseries Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Pudsey for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2025. Open since 2020, with 80 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 settle quickly into this homely nursery. Even children attending for the first time are secure in their relationships with staff due to effective settling-in processes. The youngest children particularly benefit from the warm nurturing care of the adults. Older children are increasingly independent and play well together.
Staff understand children's behaviour and what it is telling them. Those who need additional emotional support are given lots of reassurance until they feel more secure. Children become confident, independent learners.
Staff create an interesting indoor and outdoor environment. Consequently, children are eager to explore and are deeply engaged in their play and learning. For example, older children are fascinated by the retractable tape measures. They spend time measuring various resources, such as the builders' hats, dinosaurs and even the staff. Babies crawl excitedly to explore the cornflour gloop. Toddlers are motivated to try increasingly difficult jigsaws. They are proud of the praise they receive for their efforts and success.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to develop monitoring and coaching processes to have even greater impact on children's 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.
