Our goal at Chapeltown Community Nursery is to create a safe environment for our children to thrive. Families have trusted us since we were established in 1973 and whilst our organisation is led by parents our day to day activities are led by our children. We have a child-led inspired ethos and are committed to serving our locality in Leeds 7 with resources tailored to our communities.
Chapeltown Community Nursery is a not for profit nursery, owned by the community and led by a voluntary management committee. Established in 1973 as a playgroup, we evolved into a nursery to meet the needs of local families and began working from our purpose built venue on Reginald Street in 1992.

Services
From language and literacy development to social skills and creative expression, the children at Chapeltown Community Nursery are constantly being exposed to new activities and environments in which to thrive. We build on the strengths and interests of each child to help build a solid foundation where they can develop their futures.
We had over 200 views from across Leeds, the country AND the world, with 30% who had an opinion saying the best images were created by our nursery children. Watch this space as we are working on a new creative call-out project and will be sharing artwork in August! This art project, sharing our playful and caring community, was made possible by funding from Leeds Inspired.

We have had the pleasure of experiencing several nurseries and sure start centres in Leeds, but nothing compares to Chapeltown Community Nursery. When we moved from Little Woodhouse to Chapeltown in 2009, we looked around and were quickly drawn to this place. It had an amazing outdoor play area with climbing frames, swings, a slide, and a train, which my son loved. It was south-facing and looked onto Reginald Park - the whole environment was green and spacious. The nursery itself had been set up by the local community in the 1970s and was run on a not-for-profit basis with a committee of parents

My child loves it at nursery! Settling in was painless and the staff have been very helpful with potty training. My child loves the home cooked meals. It's not for profit, which impacts on the care of the children and meeting the parents needs too. You only pay for the hours of childcare you need for example.

When hiring the nursery for a theatre rehearsal, the space available was big enough for movement and very good value for the time we used it - there was additional side rooms for actors to work alone - very handy. The use of kitchen was welcome too. Any staff conversed with was very clear and welcoming in manner. The health and safety in place, and procedures for using the building were very clear. The contract and payment method again was very clear/easy. Great place!

Chapeltown Community Nursery has such an important place in our life and in our hearts. I've sent my son there from since he was 2, until he started school in September, and my daughter is currently attending.
It's been an amazing place of support, and like a second home, especially during the pandemic, when our only contact with the outside world was litterally the nursery!
We love the large outdoor space for the kids to play bikes, climb trees, play imagination games, and pick strawberries in summer.
Because it's a non-for-profit, community and parent led nursery, there is a great emphasis

Both my children have been to Chapeltown Community Nursery. My eldest child has just left for school, and my youngest has settled in very well. The level of care that Chapeltown Community Nursery provides to the children and families is professional and of a very high quality. They support the child, the family, and the community at large. The purpose built building is spacious and the garden / outdoor play-area has just been re-designed. Both boys love cycling around the garden and play-area on the nursery bikes. They also love the food, we hear about each meal in detail.

We couldn't have been more pleased with the time our son spent at Chapeltown Nursery. The staff are so caring and the atmosphere is warm, friendly and nurturing. The home cooked meals are also fantastic and my son was encouraged to try many new foods. I always recommend Chapeltown Community Nursery to others.

My son loved this nursery. Such a lovely community and as a not for profit orgabisation I found it more personal and flexible than other nursery provision I have used. The staff were caring and supportive and the time he spent there really helped prepare him for school. I am looking forward to my daughter attending too and she is excited about the lovely new playground. It can also be hired as a venue and we recently attended a birthday party there, the space was perfect for a kids party as you might expect from an early years setting!

I can't tell you how much this fabulous nursery has been part of my life, and for the better, for over 30 years. Of my 3 children (all now in their thirties) and 3 grandchildren (now 17, 8 and 4) ALL of them have attended Chapeltown Community Nursery and all of them have loved it there and made great friendships that survive to this day. The staff are wonderful, creative, imaginitive caring and above all, happy. You can feel the positivity as soon as you walk through the door! I very much hope that the next generation of my family will attend Chapeltown Community Nursery too. The nursery has always
