Kidz Day Nursery Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Carnforth 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 July 2022. Open since 2014, with 55 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 North Yorkshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North Yorkshire 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 arrive at the setting happy and ready for the day. They confidently separate from their parents and enjoy the warm and welcoming greeting that they receive from staff. Children build strong relationships with staff and demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in their care. Children eagerly explore the range of toys and play equipment offered in the indoor and outdoor areas. They show good hand-to-eye coordination and problem-solving skills as they make cakes in the mud kitchen. Staff interact and engage well with children during their play. This helps to keep children interested and motivated to learn.
Staff know the children well and understand what they need to do next to make good levels of progress. They promote these next steps in both child-led and adultled activities. For example, they make the most of learning opportunities during mealtimes, talking to children about healthy portion sizes and helping them to develop their independence skills. Children enjoy the challenge of preparing fresh fruits and pouring their own drinks. They grow their own fruits and vegetables at nursery and learn how take care of these each day. This helps children understand where food comes from and enriches their understanding of the world.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen partnerships with other settings children attend and share information that helps to promote continuity in their care and learning n help staff to consistently support younger children to understand the impact their actions have on others.

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.
