There are government funded places.
What childcare usually costs in East Riding of Yorkshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in East Riding of 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 are happy and secure while supported by nurturing staff. Children build lovely bonds with staff, who are quick to comfort and distract them when they become unsettled. In particular, babies are sensitively supported and cared for.
Staff consistently talk to them and provide reassurance. Children develop a sense of belonging from an early age.
Children behave well. They follow the nursery routine and help to tidy up after themselves. Staff encourage this good behaviour by using regular and specific praise. They praise children for listening and for helping their friends. Children learn a sense of what is right and wrong.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's confidence and skills to teach children a wider range of mathematical concepts n enhance existing performance management processes to carefully evaluate staff's teaching skills and provide focused areas for development.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- 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.
