West Yorkshire Police was called to Walpole Road following a concern for safety report from the ambulance service at 8.02am on Monday (February 6).
Officers discovered three young children - two boys and a girl - and a woman with serious injuries at the scene.
The injuries are believed to have been caused by a bladed weapon.
All four were taken to hospital for treatment and continue to be treated for those injuries.

“Detectives are conducting enquiries to determine the exact circumstances of what has taken place and an arrest has now been made as part of those investigations."
Chief Inspector Rebecca Calpin of Kirklees Police, said: “Reassurance patrols are taking place in the local area by officers from the Huddersfield Neighbourhood Policing Team and will be continuing throughout the day as Kirklees officers work to support colleagues from HMET.”
Enquiries are ongoing as the police investigation continues.
Police have cordoned off large swathes of a residential street in Huddersfield following a serious incident.
