Lepton CE Pre-School and Just for Fun Out of School Club
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Huddersfield for children from birth to 8+, open 08:45 to 15:30, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 1992, with 24 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 Kirklees
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kirklees 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 cared for in a safe, secure and welcoming environment. They develop strong bonds with staff because of caring and nurturing interactions. Staff ensure they know about children and their families to enable them to build strong relationships with all. Staff offer higher levels of support to those children who are new to the setting, and this helps them to settle quickly. Babies demonstrate that they feel secure with staff, who are attentive to their individual needs.
Staff know what they want children to learn, and focus on children's interests and the areas of learning. They plan a challenging and motivating curriculum and children demonstrate high levels of engagement. Staff carefully consider any moves to other rooms as children transition through the nursery. They ensure children have the appropriate skills to ensure any moves are in the children's best interests.
Key workers know their children well. Staff understand the care and learning needs of the children from their starting points and the use of accurate assessments.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to give more messages to enable children to learn about staying healthy and making healthy choices n improve children's understanding of risks so they are able to think of ways to keep themselves safe independently.

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.
