Outstanding★ 4.1 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Pudsey 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Outstanding by Ofsted in April 2022. Open since 1998, with 75 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 thrive at this highly inviting and stimulating setting. They show excellent levels of confidence and remain deeply engaged in their learning. Children acquire exceptional skills ready to move to school. They develop high levels of independence and show determination when completing tasks and challenges.
Children form a 'pre-school council'. They gather each other's thoughts and ideas about what improvements they would like to see at the setting. Children develop close attachments to the caring and nurturing staff team. This demonstrates that they feel safe and secure at the setting. Children behave remarkably well and form strong friendships with one another. They learn how to regulate their own emotions, for example by participating in calming activities, such as yoga sessions.
Staff introduce mindfulness activities to children and support them to manage their feelings.

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.
