What childcare usually costs in East Riding of Yorkshire

What it is like to attend
Nursery leaders foster a strong vision that places children's happiness at the heart of everything they do. They plan an exciting curriculum that is aspirational for all, but still focuses on children's individual care and learning needs. The rooms across the nursery are carefully planned, offering children a wide range of quality resources and activities. The homely ethos that is promoted across the nursery helps children develop a strong sense of belonging. Staff meet children's care needs very respectfully. Children thrive in this friendly nursery, forming strong emotional bonds with their key person and other staff.
Children are very polite and show much cooperation as they play games with others. Staff sensitively remind them of the importance of sharing and taking turns.
Children quickly become independent and confident learners. They develop the skills and knowledge that effectively prepare them for their future learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- focus on continuing to develop the skills and knowledge of staff further, to raise the quality of education to consistently outstanding levels.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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