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
Staff provide a warm, nurturing environment for children and show genuine care for their well-being. They provide support to families and have started to welcome parents back into nursery, since the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have eased. This has had a positive impact on communication with parents and promotes consistency for children. Children are enthusiastic to come into nursery and show that they feel happy and safe with staff. They are keen to explore their surroundings and begin to develop good levels of self-confidence. Staff have worked extremely hard to support children in their personal, social and emotional development and children's behaviour is very positive. For example, staff consistently praise children when they use good manners and are kind to each other. However, there are times when staff expect young children to focus on activities for too long.
Staff have high expectations for all children who attend. They talk proudly about the children they work with and know them very well. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities have an excellent bond with their key person.
They are happy, settled and begin to form relationships with other staff and children. Children who receive extra funding are supported by staff on a one-to-one basis. They make very good progress towards their individual learning goals. Gaps in children's learning are closing and they are prepared to move on to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- make sure that staff sharply focus their teaching to help children to make the best possible progress n enhance staff's understanding of how to support young children's behaviour, so that their expectations are not too high.

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.
