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
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bradford 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 and families are at the heart of this welcoming and nurturing nursery.
Leaders understand the importance of supporting the whole family. They go above and beyond to ensure children and families receive the support they need. Staff know children extremely well. They develop strong bonds with children and their families. Children are comfortable in the company of the adults and form positive relationships. They feel safe and secure.
Children arrive happy and excited to see their friends and key person. Staff plan engaging activities for children. Resources are inviting and children show interest in the activities available. They are set out for children to access independently.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on the planned improvements to the outdoor area, to ensure children have opportunities to develop in all areas of learning.

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.
