Daisy Chain Childcare Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Leeds for children from birth to 8+, open 00:00 to 24:00, 7 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2022. Open since 2014, with 68 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 are happy and settled in this welcoming nursery. The attentive staff support children's emotional needs well. Children form close bonds with the designated key person, and the staff team creates an enjoyable family atmosphere.
Children freely explore the environment with confidence. For instance, staff create a rainforest with natural materials. Children clap their hands and giggle as they stomp toy dinosaurs through the forest, showing pride in their accomplishments.
Older children behave well and develop very good social skills. They listen to adults and to each other. They are helpful, kind and considerate.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend children's understanding and awareness of technology to help improve their knowledge of the world n strengthen the quality of education for two-year-olds, with particular regard to developing communication and language skills.

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.
