Andrew Memorial Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2023. Open since 1992, with 34 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 Brent
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Brent 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
Children arrive happy to meet staff who give them a warm welcome on their arrival. Staff build strong bonds with children, providing reassurance and guidance throughout the day. This helps to make children feel safe and secure, ready to begin their learning. Staff model expectations to children, reminding them of boundaries and to be kind to one another. Staff are positive role models. Children are learning routines to prepare them for when they leave for school. Children behave well. They listen carefully, follow instructions and play co-operatively with their friends. They have a good attitude to their learning.
Children learn how to keep their bodies healthy. They learn good hygiene routines, such as washing hands before mealtimes. They participate in a group activity where they prepare a healthy fruit salad snack. Staff present various pieces of fruit such as apples, watermelon, and bananas. Children are encouraged by staff to explore the textures and smell the fruit before they begin to cut. Staff explain details of each fruit to broaden their understanding. Children observe that it is
'round' or 'oval'. They are beginning to understand mathematical concepts. When they finish the activity, they enjoy what they have prepared, and happily eat their fruit with their friends.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen activities to engage and support two-year-olds, based on their interests, to ensure they develop skills to build their listening and attention skills further n strengthen training opportunities so that staff develop a wide knowledge of relevant safeguarding terminology.

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.
