Little Owls Burley Park is a highly-rated nursery in Leeds, offering a nurturing environment for children aged three months to five years. Conveniently located near Burley Park Railway Station and major bus routes, the day nursery prides itself on its experienced team who foster confident learning and exploration through play.
The spacious outdoor area, complete with a soft play zone and covered canopy, ensures children can engage in physical activity regardless of the weather. The curriculum is enriched by highly trained staff and Early Years Foundation Stage support from qualified teachers, promoting communication, language development, and a variety of fun activities from painting to baking.
Parents are kept informed of their child's daily progress and key moments through the free Tapestry app, and each child has a dedicated key worker and a 'significant other' for consistent communication. Little Owls Burley Park is also committed to inclusivity, with extensive experience in supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
The day nursery offers affordable fees, aligning with or below the average rates in Leeds, and provides various government-funded childcare schemes to ease financial burdens for families.
Our ethos
Our experienced team support children to become confident learners and explorers who learn through play. Educational activities boost communication and language development. Children also enjoy fun activities and led sessions in small groups, in everything from painting to baking.
What it's like
Children are happy and settled. Staff understand their needs and help them to quickly settle and build positive relationships. Children's behaviour is mostly good; staff communicate their expectations and help children understand how their behaviour might make others feel.
Funding accepted
Little Owls Nurseries offer competitive fees which are reviewed annually. The government offers a range of funded childcare schemes to help lighten the financial load. You will always know what is included in our price and what you need to provide for your child. All meals drinks and snacks are included in your fees or grant funding. All learning resources are free. We don’t charge for materials for baking or craft projects. Special programmes including work with organisations such as Opera North, Northern Ballet, Leeds City Art Gallery, Herd Farm and Leeds Rhinos are free. Occasionally we take the children on outings which are normally funded from nursery or community held funding. Some family outings, which parents will be invited to, may require a small contribution to costs. Parents need to provide nappies and creams, a sun hat and at least one change of clothes (more if the child is potty training).

Inspector highlights
Areas to develop
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents speak highly of the nursery and its staff team.
They chose the nursery because of its good reputation in the local area.
They describe the skills that their children have developed while at the nursery, such as increased vocabulary and developing an interest in books and stories.
They comment that communication is good and that staff support them in all aspects of their lives when they need extra support.
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are very well supported to make continuous progress. Staff know them well and provide targeted interventions to support their ongoing development. They benefit from small-group sessions, where they learn how to follow routines and instructions.
Children demonstrate their physical skills by riding wheeled toys, climbing in and out of tyres and running with their friends. They use mats outdoors to practise their forward rolls. Managers ensure that they tailor the curriculum to reduce any gaps in learning related to outdoor play, as they have recognised that children do not have many opportunities for it in their homes.
I do not like the fact this nursery would rather speak to the local authority about your child rather than the parent first there was no danger to my child like they made out. Will not send my kids here again. Zero star only give 1 because I had too
