Karmand Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Bradford for children from birth to 8+, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2022. Open since 2009, with 60 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 Bradford
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bradford 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 at the setting and form secure bonds with staff. Most children separate easily and confidently from their parents. However, after a three week break over the Christmas period, a small number of children are upset when they arrive. They receive excellent and sensitive support from staff and quickly settle.
The key-person system is effective and children receive good support and attention. Staff know the children in their care well. This enables them to effectively plan for the next steps for each child's learning and development. Preschool children talk about what they like to do at the setting, such as 'cutting and gluing' and playing with their friends.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and learning. All children, including those with additional needs or who speak English as an additional language, are well supported by staff. As a result, all children at the setting make good progress in their learning and development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that all children have opportunities for outdoor play on a daily basis, or physical play indoors when that is not possible, for example, due to unsafe weather conditions n provide regular opportunities for children to learn about the natural world outdoors.

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.
