Little Owls Nursery City And Holbeck

About this day nursery

Little Owls City and Holbeck is an inclusive nursery situated in Leeds, LS11, within the Holbeck/Beeston area, offering excellent transport connections to the city centre. The day nursery welcomes children ranging from three months to five years old.

Their overarching vision is to inspire children to learn, grow, and achieve their full potential. The facility provides engaging indoor and outdoor play environments where children can thrive.

Highly trained staff, including qualified teachers, provide support for the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, with a dedicated team in the under-twos room specialising in infant care. The day nursery emphasises the development of a wide array of skills at every developmental stage.

To maintain strong communication with families, each child is assigned a key worker as well as a 'significant other' who serve as primary points of contact. Parents are kept informed through the free Tapestry app, an online journal that documents key daily moments and detailed observations of their child’s progress.

The team is also highly experienced in assisting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, offering various support groups. Little Owls City and Holbeck holds an 'Outstanding' rating from Ofsted, highlighting the staff's high-quality interactions and a rich, inclusive curriculum that ensures every child receives the best possible start in life, excelling from their individual starting points and developing vital skills for school readiness.

They pride themselves on offering affordable fees, consistently at or below the average for Leeds.

Children excitedly bound into the nursery. Staff build exemplary relationships with children and families, which begins on initial home visits. Children thrive in the nursery and feel happy, safe and secure, engrossed as they lead their own play in a vibrant and nurturing environment. Staff embrace and celebrate the diversity of the families who attend, and consequently, children learn great tolerance and respect for one another and build wonderful friendships.

Pricing & funding

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. We also provide wrap around care which provides additional hours of childcare on top of your free entitlement. 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).
