Greenfields Childcare
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 January 2025. Open since 2002, with 50 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 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 of all ages display high levels of engagement and interest. They engage in purposeful play and are curious, inquisitive learners. The impact of the curriculum is clear to see, as is the high-quality education. Leaders ensure that the curriculum continues to challenge all children, builds on existing skills and widens their experience. All staff know the children and their families exceptionally well. Staff offer individualised support to every child, providing them with the best possible start in life and enabling them to achieve to their full potential.
Staff deployment is effective and very well considered. High-quality interactions from staff successfully build children's confidence and self-esteem. Staff achieve an excellent balance between allowing children to follow their interests and incorporating the skills they intend for them to learn and practise. For example, children are encouraged to exercise choice and explore self-initiated challenges.
They also participate in more focused group activities where they learn how to sit and concentrate for longer periods and develop confidence in speaking and listening. This helps to ensure they acquire the necessary skills to aid their smooth transitions into school, and it lays the foundations for their future 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.
