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 East Riding of Yorkshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in East Riding of 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
The provider, management team and staff have high expectations of themselves and of children. They provide an extremely welcoming environment. Children thrive and receive exemplary care and education. New children settle quickly and form close bonds with staff. Staff skilfully use information from parents and their own observations and assessments to plan high-quality experiences that focus on children's interests and what they need to learn next. Children are motivated and supported to become deeply engaged in their play. For example, babies love the sensory experience of exploring flour in a tray. They bang spoons on the containers and use spoons to scoop flour.
Behaviour management is a strong focus with children. Staff help children to follow clear and simple rules. They are good role models who treat children with consideration and respect. Pre-school children earn 'proud cloud' certificates for their achievements, which they take home to share with their parents. They are immensely proud of these achievements and tell staff that they put theirs on the fridge. Staff work hard to help children understand their own feelings. They share a book that promotes children's understanding. This is supported by differentcoloured props that represent how children feel. Toddlers talk about how the blue colour means that they feel sad and the red one means that they feel angry. Staff talk to children about what makes them happy. This helps children to moderate their feelings.

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.
