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's behaviour is exemplary. This is because leaders and staff securely embed routines and consistently apply their high expectations. Children immediately respond to staff's requests and work harmoniously alongside each other. Children feel very safe in the nursery. They demonstrate this as they chat to themselves or burst into song, feeling free to express themselves. Babies bob up and down on their feet in response to staff. They take their first steps and walk towards familiar staff, giggling with joy.
The interactions between staff and children are exceptional. Staff maintain a constant focus on developing children's vocabulary. Each week, the nursery has a focus on a new word and staff use real objects to support children's understanding.
Staff repeat the words that children say and add new words into sentences to extend children's communication skills. They engage children in discussions and reflect back on previous learning to develop their conversational skills. For instance, children recall what they found inside a pumpkin. They discuss the features of constructions they have made, proudly showing off their work.

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.
