A day nursery in Huddersfield 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 March 2022. Open since 2012, with 142 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 are confident and eager to learn as they explore the wide range of activities that are provided for them. Children approach inspectors and tell them what they like about the nursery. They describe enjoying cooking and painting.
Children's behaviour is good. Staff have high expectations for all children. They support children to behave well by praising good behaviour. Children are helpful and kind to each other. They develop a sense of responsibility as they become the
'little helper' for the day. They help to give out cutlery and bowls to the other children and take pride in the role.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - consider individual children's stage of development when planning activities and routines to build on all children's existing knowledge and skills n develop existing methods of communication with parents to enable them to provide feedback that supports managers to further evaluate the provision.

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.
