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

What it is like to attend
Children feel happy, safe and secure in this stimulating setting. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, staff now greet all children and their families at the nursery's main entrance. Children leave their parents and eagerly seek out exciting activities in their nursery rooms. Children's behaviour is good. Staff encourage children to build friendships with their peers. Children learn to be kind and caring. They share resources, toys and space with each other with ease.
Children demonstrate good levels of confidence and independence as they explore the various resources available to them. They have a wide range of opportunities to develop their physical skills. For instance, older children practise yoga and propel themselves around the garden on tricycles and scooters. Toddlers develop their large muscles as they paint on large pieces of material in the garden. Babies develop their core strength and coordination as they pull themselves to stand with the support of dedicated staff. Children develop their understanding of the world around them. Toddlers investigate herbs such as parsley and basil. They smell them and mix them into water in the mud kitchen. Older children go on nature walks and identify daffodils and snowdrops. Babies excitedly use all of their senses as they explore raspberries and blueberries.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on the staff's knowledge of curriculum intent, so they are clear what skills and knowledge they want children to gain from all experiences n plan transition times more effectively to reduce children's waiting times and to increase their learning opportunities.

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.
