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
Children are greeted with enthusiasm by friendly staff. They confidently say goodbye to their parents at the door. There are highly effective settling-in arrangements alongside a well-established key-person system. This ensures children are happy and transition through each of the rooms with ease. Attentive staff know each child exceptionally well. This allows them to plan a range of exciting and engaging activities. Babies' routines are particularly well supported. As a result, children are happy and content.
Makaton is deeply embedded within the curriculum to further support children's communication skills. Children learn new signs each week during group times. Staff report this has also had a benefit on children's behaviour, particularly those who cannot yet communicate verbally. Additional funding is used effectively to ensure it supports children it is allocated for. As a result, all children make excellent progress.
This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

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.
