Play Safe At The Pavilion
OutstandingBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Leeds for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in June 2022. Open since 2019, with 33 places.
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 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 make excellent progress from when they first start in this friendly and nurturing setting. Staff provide children with a curriculum that is designed to support and extend their individual talents and skills. They gather detailed information about children's development from their parents prior to children starting at the setting. Staff use this information to plan meaningful experiences to help children settle. They consistently reflect on children's progress and how they can best support their future learning.
Children learn excellent social skills and behave exceptionally well. Children are highly respectful of adults and peers alike, always showing care and empathy. For instance, children quickly seek out an adult when one of their friends falls over, to ensure their well-being. Children show high levels of confidence when using large outdoor equipment. They stack plastic milk crates and add tyres to create a small obstacle course. Children learn how to manage age-appropriate risks and show excellent physical skills as they climb and balance.
Staff are positive role models. They support the children to understand what makes them unique. Staff challenge stereotypes to help broaden children's awareness of others. For example, when children say only boys argue and get cross and girls do not, staff sensitively explain that we all feel different emotions at times, and teach children how to express themselves.

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.
