One published rate, dated 01 st of January 2026. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Funded hours
You can receive your child’s Free Entitlement Hours from 9 Months Old to 5 Years Old. If you receive solely funding you can receive 15 hours per week over 38 Weeks or 30 hours per week over 38 Weeks.
Worth knowing. For every funded session, we ask parents to contribute towards our Eat Better, Start Better accredited meals and all consumables such as nappies, wipes, nappy bags, tissues and sun cream (where applicable) as these are not covered by the funding we receive. The Additional Voluntary charge is waived for funded 2 year olds accessing funding under the 15 hour local authority scheme.
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
Managers personally greet families on arrival. They engage with children about their day ahead and have conversations with parents. This approach helps children settle quickly and feel secure in the nursery. Children form close relationships with staff due to the friendly and caring interactions. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and are positive role models. Children play harmoniously together, share resources and take turns. Children are well behaved.
Managers and staff design an ambitious curriculum to meet children's needs and interests, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Children are curious and enthusiastic learners. They explore the welcoming and stimulating indoor and outdoor learning environments. For example, babies crawl and practise walking with push-along toys. Preschoolers create structures with blocks and name them 'ladder', 'fire engine' and 'tower'. Children are sociable and enjoy being creative.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the planning and implementation of adult-led activities to enrich children's learning experiences and further extend their learning n enhance questioning techniques to give children the opportunity to fully express and recall their knowledge and understanding of what they have learned.

Still missing for Bloomers Day Nursery
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £75.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
