Kids Planet Wetherby
GoodBirth to 5Open a few years
A day nursery in Wetherby for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2024. Open since 2022, with 64 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's needs are at the heart of all that staff do in this friendly and welcoming nursery. Staff treat children with warmth, kindness and respect. There is an effective key-person system. This supports children's emotional well-being.
Effective communication between staff helps to make sure that children's needs are met as they move up to the next room. Staff have links with local schools to support children and parents to be well prepared for this big move. Staff offer parents a collection of 'experience bags' to help them to support their children to manage events, such as a new baby in the family or a visit to the dentist.
The learning environment is highly stimulating, indoors and in the secure outdoor areas. Staff arrange resources attractively to promote children's curiosity. Books are readily accessible to children. Children demonstrate a real love of reading, as they choose favourite stories to look at themselves, or to share with an adult. On the day of inspection, toddlers are so eager to explore a new story sack, that staff decide not to wait for the inspector to come to their room. Later, children enthusiastically tell the inspector about the story and hunt for the missing toy from the sack. Staff use skilful questioning to make this activity an excellent way to teach children new vocabulary connected with positions, such as 'underneath'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider how to support staff to ensure that quieter and less-confident children have more opportunities to develop their communication and language skills.

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.
