A day nursery in Bradford for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2024. Open since 2011, with 39 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 Bradford

What it is like to attend
The dedicated managers and staff provide a very welcoming, family-oriented and inclusive nursery. It is a special place at the heart of the diverse community it serves. Staff support children's well-being effectively. They respect children's uniqueness, ethnicity and cultural heritage. Children learn about each other's beliefs through cultural celebrations and visits to different places of worship with staff. Children thrive and develop a strong sense of self.
Staff tailor settling-in visits to support children's individual needs. Babies and children settle quickly with their key person. In group time, staff teach children how to greet each other. Children confidently say 'good morning' to staff using their name. They enthusiastically join in singing the days of the week song. Staff encourage children's thinking. Older children know the days of the week. They confidently state what day it was yesterday and what day it will be tomorrow.
Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour. They encourage children to work together and take turns. Children are polite and say 'please' and 'thank you'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that all staff fully understand their role outdoors, so that babies are consistently supported in their learning when playing together in the garden with older children.

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.
