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 Kirklees
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kirklees 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 show that they feel safe and secure at this inviting setting. Staff respond to children's interests and are responsive to their needs. They share in children's excitement when they make new discoveries in their learning. For example, children quickly put on wellington boots and rush outside when there is a sudden downpour of rain. Children giggle with staff as they jump and splash in puddles.
They show that they feel safe and secure in the care of staff. For instance, children rush to greet them and embrace staff when they arrive at the setting. Staff play alongside children and ask questions to help them remain engaged in their learning. They model how to do things, such as using digging tools in the nursery garden. Children learn to use their foot to dig with spades, and they look for insects under soil.
Staff are good role models. They help children to use good manners. Children help to create nursery rules and remind each other of them. They behave well. Children listen and respond to instructions given. All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from an ambitious curriculum, which helps them to develop good levels of independence and self-care skills. Older children serve themselves during mealtimes and make choices in their play and learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- evaluate the nursery routine to review transition times, including tidy-up times n review the arrangements for large circle times, to monitor the effectiveness of these and ensure the correct letter sounds are pronounced when helping children to sound out first letters of their name.

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.
