Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.

Worth knowing. These meals costs apply to funded places only. We do not charge a consumable fee, so meals are the only additional cost which are optional.
What childcare usually costs in North Yorkshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North Yorkshire 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 are greeted warmly by staff as they arrive. To support children's social skills and promote peer role modelling, when numbers are low in the summer holidays, early years children come together in the pre-school room. Staff are positive role models to the children. They remind the children to share and help each other. Children use lovely manners, saying 'no thank you' when asked if they would like to join activities or go outdoors. Children behave well and understand what is expected of them. This helps children to feel safe and secure.
Children master key skills they need for their future development and are well prepared for school. For instance, from an early age, children develop their handto-eye coordination and independence extremely well. They wash their hands before and after food and access the toilets independently. Babies are starting to develop an understanding of their personal care routines as they wipe their own noses and place the tissues in the bin. They demonstrate high levels of focus and perseverance as they join in with modelling dough activities that encourage their imagination and curiosity. Children make good progress in their learning and development, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure the interaction with children at story time is appropriate for their age and stage of development so that younger children can continue to make good progress in their speech and language n implement activities more effectively to ensure all resources are appropriate for the age of the children attending when children of different age groups are brought together at quieter times.

Still missing for Sticky Fingers Day Nursery
- What it costs
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
