Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Up to 30 hours of free childcare for eligible children, aged 2 to 4.
Worth knowing. Funding is only available for 38 weeks of the year, however the nursery is open 51 weeks of the year, so we stretch the funding to cover as many of the sessions you need. 15 hours of funding will give you 11.17 hours of childcare per week. 30 hours of funding will give you 22.35 hours of childcare per week. Any hours your child attends above this will be charged at a rate of £7.15 per hour. We DO NOT charge any fees for any essentials and extras, there are no hidden costs.
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 create strong attachments to the nurturing staff at this setting. Managers support children and their parents. They offer flexible settling-in sessions to help children to be settled before they begin attending. Children confidently explore the environment available to them. Babies independently access baskets of musical instruments. They shake rattles and smile as they create different sounds.
Children learn about the different seasons of the year. Toddlers plant sunflower seeds in pots and take them home to watch them grow. Pre-school children create portraits of flowers from the nursery garden. Children choose which vegetables to grow in the nursery's sensory garden. This helps children to develop their understanding of the life cycles of living things.
Staff provide opportunities for children to develop their independence. Children put on their coats and do up their zips ready for outdoor play. Children serve their own food and drink during mealtimes. They problem solve and use towels to wipe down slides that are wet from rainwater, to ensure that they are safe. Children are given tasks, such as to collect all of the plates at mealtimes. This helps children to develop a sense of achievement and develop pride in their roles.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance the curriculum to ensure that it challenges children of all ages n use teaching opportunities to extend children's knowledge on how to lead a healthy lifestyle.

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.
- Is £71.50 a day still the rate? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
