A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2024. Open since 2008, with 104 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 Barnet
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Barnet 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 and babies form strong and positive bonds with their key person. They demonstrate that they feel safe in the warm and friendly environment. Babies hold out their arms to familiar adults, and receive comfort and reassurance. Older children play cooperatively with their peers. This sense of safety helps children to get the most from the learning opportunities that staff provide.
Leaders design an ambitious and broad curriculum that is based on children's interests and what they need to learn next for their future success. Staff enrich children's experiences. For example, they take them on regular visits within the local community. Children enjoy visits to the nearby museum and the library. Staff use these trips to help to support children's awareness of the world around them.
Children show an interest in transport and choose to visit the local train station for their next adventure. Staff extend children's learning. For example, they use a junk modelling activity to talk about different modes of transport.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide further coaching, mentoring and support for less-confident staff to raise the quality of interactions and teaching to consistently highest levels n support children more effectively while they are in between activities to ensure that they remain engaged in their play and learning.

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.
