What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
30 hours funding, from the term after your child reaches 9 months old.
Worth knowing. Funding is term time only (via North Yorkshire term dates). No consumable charge. Funding cannot be used if your child is starting mid-way through a term; children must attend at the start of the term to claim that term's funding. Half days are on a limited basis only due to limited places.
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 are happy and settled in this warm and welcoming nursery. On arrival, they are greeted by their friends, who hug them affectionately. Children have good relationships with staff who know them well. They chat happily about their journey and the day ahead. Children are excited to get started and smile with anticipation.
This is because the activities on offer are carefully planned around children's interests.
Babies enjoy exploring with paint and other sensory resources. They giggle as brushes tickle their toes. Those who are learning to walk have lots of opportunities to develop their physical skills, both indoors and outdoors. Older children talk enthusiastically with the inspector about 'Karen the T-Rex' and her many adventures, while others make a 'tea party for a tiger'. The curriculum is focused and ambitious for every child. Staff have set clear expectations for behaviour. As a result, children are focused and engaged in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that younger children are consistently supported to develop their independence skills n ensure that staff understand the building blocks of knowledge that children need to develop early literacy skills.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
