Community House Pre-School
OutstandingBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Huddersfield for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in June 2024. Open since 2018.
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 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.

What it is like to attend
Children and their families flourish at this inspirational setting. The management team demonstrates excellent leadership and professionalism, putting quality care and the community at the heart of its practice. Children are highly valued by the encouraging and nurturing staff. Relationships between staff, children and parents are exceptionally strong. These secure relationships help children to feel happy and safe as they play and learn. Staff expertly teach a curriculum that gives every child the lifelong skills they need to support their future learning. As a result, all children make exceptional progress from their starting points in development. This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Children demonstrate high levels of well-being and their behaviour is excellent.
Their independence in all aspects of their learning and self-care is superb. Staff diligently provide opportunities for children to be autonomous throughout the day.

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.
