A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2022. Open since 2009, with 130 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Hammersmith and Fulham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hammersmith and Fulham from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Staff have warm, happy relationships with children. They take time to find out about each child's likes and dislikes. Staff provide activities and routines that are familiar to children and this helps them to settle successfully. Children enjoy an extensive range of activities. For example, older children enjoy a floating and sinking activity. Staff ask them to guess which objects will float or sink and then put the objects to the test. Staff discuss the outcome with children and this develops their understanding of the concept of floating and sinking successfully.
Toddlers enjoy making flower pictures using fresh flower petals. Staff allow children to smell the flowers and teach them new words to describe the scent and colours, such as 'sweet', 'pink' and 'pastel'. Children play together cooperatively.
For example, they play well during pretend play in the home corner where they take on different roles. Children learn to share and take turns well. Staff have high expectations of children. They manage children's behaviour well and reward them for positive behaviour. Staff share group rules with children. Children behave well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review lunchtime organisation in the baby room to ensure that staff interact more effectively with babies during mealtimes n make it easier for babies under one year of age to freely select toys and resources of their own choice, to support their learning and growing independence.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
