Beis Chinuch Lebonos Nursery
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2024. Open since 2009, with 100 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 are happy and settled in this welcoming nursery. Relationships with staff are good. Staff understand and meet the needs of all children. They work closely with parents to gather information to enable them to offer continuity of care from home. This helps to ensure parents leave their children knowing they are safe and well cared for. The key-person system is effective, and all children create strong bonds with their key person, which enables them to feel safe and secure.
Babies enjoy interactions with staff and beam with excitement. They receive cuddles and encouragement as they develop their confidence to crawl, move and explore their safe environment. Older children demonstrate kindness to others and develop an understanding of the importance of sharing. For example, in the book area, they choose books on their own and look through them together, developing early foundations of working together and expectations that books have purpose and meaning.
Staff offer praise and encouragement during activities, which promotes children's good behaviour and confidence. Toddlers are curious about new people and are keen to involve them in their play, confidently smiling and offering toys. Older children display positive attitudes towards their learning. For instance, they explore textures such as dry lentils in play, and extend this into their imaginary play in feeding themselves and their dolls.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop the monitoring of staff performance further to help identify precisely how staff can raise their good practice n place a strong emphasis on supporting children to make their own choices and express their own independent thoughts.

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.
