Horbury Day Nursery, part of the family-operated Inspired Childcare group, is an EYFS-accredited nursery situated on Manorfield Drive in Horbury, Wakefield. Established in 2014, it caters to children aged from birth to five years old, extending its services to families in Horbury, Ossett, Wakefield, and nearby regions.
The nursery operates with a core philosophy that emphasises enjoyment in learning, integrating this belief into all activities and interactions. Inspired Childcare prioritises the professional development of its staff, providing comprehensive training and closing for two half-days annually for specialised sessions.
Parents are kept informed of their child's progress and daily activities through the Famly app. Horbury Day Nursery also provides nutritionally balanced 5-a-day meals.
Its commitment is to provide and maintain high-quality childcare, foster a skilled and caring team, and enable every child to fulfil their utmost potential in an environment that is both stimulating and enjoyable.
Our ethos
Our ethos is that 'it's fun to learn' — the cornerstone everything we do is built upon. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum to support the learning and development of every child in our care, with each child's progress tracked and shared with parents through the Famly app.

Inspector highlights
Areas to develop
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents speak highly of the very caring staff and feel that that they are well informed about their child's day, learning and development.
Inclusion & environment
Management and staff work very well with outside professionals to arrange support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They follow recommended strategies, which helps all children to make good progress. Management identify the most effective ways to support children who are in receipt of additional funding.
Children have daily opportunities to run, climb and cycle, which promotes good physical health. The inspector observed the quality of teaching during activities, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.
My little boy loves it here, prices aren't too bad, and all the staff seem to genuinely do their best with the kids and make him feel really happy there.
