What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
All 3 to 4-year-olds in England can get free early education or childcare. Children of working parents from 9 months old can get up to 30 hours per week free.
Worth knowing. We do not charge extra for government-funded hours. All funded childcare is provided in line with government rules, with no top-up fees. Parents only pay for any additional hours beyond their funded entitlement.
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 thoroughly enjoy the time they spend at nursery. They arrive happily, and they confidently separate from their parents at the door. They are eager to start playing with their chosen activity. Children form positive relationships with staff and each other. Babies snuggle into staff and seek to sit close to them. Staff offer plenty of cuddles and warm interactions. This helps children to feel safe and secure in their care. Children independently explore their environment and do so with confidence.
Staff know their key children and their interests well. They reflect this in the activities they provide. For example, role-play resources are made available for children who enjoy imaginative play. Children have freedom to choose if they want to play outdoors. Older children develop their strength and balance as they weave around on the balance bicycle and roll balls down tubes. They build their core muscle strength when they work together to pull heavy rope. While indoors, babies and toddlers practise their skills as they climb the steps and slide down the ramp.
Children show increasing independence. For example, babies and toddlers learn to feed themselves, and the oldest children serve their own meals and manage cutlery well. Children learn to manage their own personal care needs and understand the importance of washing their hands before eating and after using the toilet.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop teaching skills further so that all staff consistently follow agreed strategies to help those children who need additional support achieve the best possible outcomes n build on staff's understanding of the curriculum intent so that they fully understand what skills and knowledge they want children to gain from experiences n review the organisation of group teaching activities to enable children to concentrate and hear what is being said.

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.
