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

What it is like to attend
Children are eager to greet their friends as they enter the warm and friendly nursery. Staff know children well. They provide children with activities that they know will engage them. Children know their routines well, which helps them to settle quickly. Parents are welcome to settle children that may need additional help to separate from them. This helps children to feel safe and secure within the environment and with staff.
Children take part in adult-focused learning. Staff provide activities to build on what children already know and can do. For example, children explore and taste the insides of a variety of fruits, such as pomegranates, pineapples, mango and peaches. Staff build on children's excitement before cutting into the fruit by explaining they will be the first children ever to see inside this piece of fruit.
Children look and feel the different textures and colours. They examine the different seeds and stones inside each fruit and discuss where it grows. Most importantly, children eagerly taste the varied flavours and decide which ones they like the best. Children learn about the food they eat and where it comes from.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that all activities consistently engage and challenge children's learning by allowing them to complete tasks which staff normally carry out n provide all children with regular opportunities to develop a love of stories that introduce new ideas, words and concepts n share information regularly about children's developmental progress and ideas for home learning with parents.

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.
