A day nursery in Bradford 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 October 2024. Open since 2016, with 53 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 safe in this nursery. They form secure attachments with staff. Staff move rooms alongside children so they settle swiftly. Staff and leaders discuss children's starting points in development with parents. They offer children trips in the local community, such as riding on a train and going on local walks, as part of the curriculum.
The nursery has a clear and sequenced curriculum to prepare children for the next room and for school. Children learn to share and take turns. Staff give children lots of praise, which helps them to develop high levels of self-esteem. Children show pride and clap at their own achievements. Staff encourage children to use mirrors during activities. This helps staff to understand what children are thinking.
Children engage and concentrate well during activities. They work out how the ramp moves up and down on the garage. Staff show children and explain how it works. Children listen well and show other children when they can do it themselves. Children use their imaginations to make a dragon and are keen to show it to their parents. Children confidently wash their hands and clear their plates away. They listen to instructions and are keen to help tidy away at the end of activities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to be consistently confident in implementing the strategies in place for children with SEND
- use children's identified home languages more consistently to engage further with children who speak English as an additional language.

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.
