Kevin Pearce Nursery
OutstandingBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Halifax 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 September 2022. Open since 2014, with 40 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 Calderdale
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Calderdale 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 inspired and thrive at this nursery. A welcoming and friendly atmosphere greets all children and their families. Staff provide a warm, caring environment for children, and show genuine care for their well-being. Children are very happy and show that they feel safe and emotionally secure. For example, they separate easily from their parents, and eagerly join in with a wide range of stimulating activities provided.
Children have access to the excellent outdoor learning environment at all times of the year. They explore the sensory gardens, balance beams and age-appropriate equipment to challenge their physical development. For example, children show excellent physical skills as they use their core strength to climb up hills using ropes.
Staff provide exceptional opportunities for children to connect to the natural world, through the forest school area. Children develop an interest and understanding of the natural environment, and of how to care for it. For example, children learn about planting and growth, during gardening activities.

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.
