Ann Tayler Children and Family Hub Nursery
OutstandingBirth to 8+Long established
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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Outstanding by Ofsted in June 2023. Open since 2012, with 78 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 Hackney
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hackney 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 in this nursery thrive in the calm and well-resourced environment. They find plenty of opportunities to follow their interests, both indoors and outside. Staff thoughtfully plan activities and experiences throughout the nursery that enable all children to make excellent progress in their learning and development. Children are self-motivated to extend their knowledge and skills. Staff have high expectations of the progress children can make. Children develop a can-do attitude to solve problems for themselves. Children and adults at this nursery treat each other with respect and kindness, which contributes to a positive learning environment. Staff help children to learn techniques like mindfulness and meditation that can help them manage strong emotions and conflict. This helps children to develop a strong understanding of the behaviour expected of them.
Leaders have identified a range of opportunities in the local area that they can use to broaden children's experiences. For instance, older children visit a local wildlife area to explore the natural environment. Children climb trees confidently, extending their physical skills, and engage with carefully planned activities surrounded by nature. Babies visit the local, well-stocked, greengrocer's, where they can select a range of fruits and vegetables from around the world. These trips are joyous. Staff support children to engage with these opportunities to explore the neighbourhood. This helps children develop their knowledge and understanding of the world.

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.
