What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Parent paid full day rate: £60
One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Funded hours
Government funded hours are only for 38 weeks a year.
Worth knowing. Funded hours require government eligibility codes to be supplied to the nursery by the parent, and those details must be updated by parents every 3 months via their personal government childcare account. Failure to update your account will result in the government retracting their offer of funded hours.
What childcare usually costs in Leeds
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leeds 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 form special friendships with their peers as they play and learn in this caring and friendly nursery. Staff are quick to respond to children's needs. They offer cuddles and reassurance to children who need extra support. As a result, children are happy and emotionally secure.
Children show curiosity as they play. For example, they are fascinated as they explore blocks of ice that have formed in the containers in the mud kitchen.
Children observe how leaves and water are encased in the ice. They are excited to show their friends and adults what they have discovered. Children develop their ability to solve problems as they pour water on the ice and use tools to break it apart. They explain how warm water will melt the ice and turn it into water. These experiences help to develop children's understanding of the world.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that planned activities and experiences consistently support children to achieve their next steps and build on their already good progress n further strengthen existing hygiene routines by ensuring that staff wash their hands after supporting children to wipe their noses.

Still missing for Tina's Tots
- Youngest age taken
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £60.00 a day still the rate? 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.
