Good★ 4.7 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Leeds for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2022. Open since 2014, with 120 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
Staff are welcoming, friendly and professional in this well-resourced setting.
Children are happy and safe and have made good bonds with staff. Children have lots of activities to choose from which have been planned to support their interests and next stage of development. Children remain engaged with activities for long periods of time. As a result, children's behaviour is good.
Staff have high expectations for all children and know them well. Older children are well prepared for starting school and demonstrate good levels of self-confidence.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff's knowledge of the importance of using the correct vocabulary and sentence structure n develop routines to ensure transitions throughout the day run more smoothly.

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.
