Woodroyd Nursery and Children Centre
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Bradford for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in January 2023. Open since 2006, with 88 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 Bradford
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Bradford 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 make excellent progress in this exceptionally inclusive and communityfocused nursery. Staff and leaders have very high ambitions for all children.
Parents are welcomed into the nursery to help settle their children when they first attend. Key persons work closely with parents to get to know them and their children. This helps children to feel safe and secure.
Children become independent learners. They access a variety of resources that help them to develop their skills. For example, children create pictures using glue and art supplies. They carefully spread the glue and use their small-muscle skills to sprinkle glitter or place snowflakes onto the paper. Children show good hand-toeye coordination and control when using paintbrushes to paint pictures. They use a range of tools to squash and shape play dough as they pretend to make biscuits.

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.
