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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Good by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2006, 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 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 are happy and settled at this caring nursery. They leave their parents with ease, excited to see their friends. Children are happy to see each other and embrace. They access the learning environment independently. Children thoroughly enjoy playing with the beautifully presented activities on offer. Older children paint detailed pictures of spring flowers, while younger children explore a spring-themed sensory tray filled with lots of interesting textures and shapes. Children are confident communicators and describe what they can see and feel.
Children learn about the world around them. They enjoy talking with the inspector about Norman, the giant African land snail. They explain how they care for him and describe his 'sticky' body. Children talk with the inspector about the snail's 'habitat'
and the different foods that the snail eats. Children have the opportunity to explore the local community and frequently visit the local library, shops and park. Children enjoy visits from the library bus and trips to the local food bank and church.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - ensure a clear intent for the sequenced teaching of mathematics across the nursery n review staff deployment regularly to ensure that children's learning needs are consistently met.

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.
