Storth House
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Huddersfield for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2022. Open since 2019, with 77 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 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 are excited as they enter the nursery. They are eager to show staff what they have brought for their jubilee tea party. Staff engage the children from first entering the nursery. This helps children to separate easily from parents and carers. Children demonstrate wonderful manners as they share and take turns in their play. They happily cheer and encourage their friends as they come down the slide. This helps children to feel safe.
Children enthusiastically join in with the wide range of activities on offer. For example, when children want to make snails, staff provide an activity to make pizza whirls. Children take turns to weigh and measure the dough ingredients. They mix, knead and roll out their pizza dough. Children ask what the purée is made from and the best place to eat pizza. A child says,' On holiday'. Children are making good progress in their learning and development, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Children develop their physical skills well in preparation for writing. For example, children use tweezers to develop their pincer grip. They carefully navigate the spider web to collect the minibeasts from the tray. They match the bugs to the bug hunt picture and talk about the minibeasts they collect. Children learn about the natural world while developing their writing skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to embed the recent changes to the key-person system to ensure children form secure attachments to their key person n consider the impact that background noise and staff voice levels have on the development of children's communication and language.

- 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
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.
