Good★ 4.5 on GoogleBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Beverley for children from birth to 5, open 00:00 to 24:00, 7 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2023. Open since 2001, with 20 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 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
Leaders plan an exciting curriculum, which is based on children's interests and learning needs. Children engage well in their learning and make good progress.
They enjoy exploring the resources in the well-planned learning environments, indoors and outside. Staff encourage children to talk to them about their learning.
They listen carefully as children explain why they have chosen certain colours for their paintings. Children develop the confidence to share their thoughts and ideas and attempt new learning challenges.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- identify professional development opportunities for staff to enhance their teaching skills further, to raise the quality of education to consistently outstanding levels n strengthen the ways that information is shared with other settings that children also attend, to ensure consistency in children's care and learning.

- 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.
