Funded hours
TERRIFIC TWO�S, 9 MONTHS TO FOUR YEAR OLD FUNDING FOR WORKING PARENTS, UNIVERSAL THREE and FOUR YEAR OLD FUNDING.
Worth knowing. For families using government-funded hours, this service is charged separately as government funding does not cover consumables. Parents may either pay for the all-inclusive package or opt out and provide all required items themselves.
What childcare usually costs in Enfield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Enfield 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 thrive at this truly inclusive setting. All children are included in a wide range of activities and experiences, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children are eager to come to nursery, confidently leaving their parents and running in ready for the session. The learning environment is inviting and offers a broad range of experiences that children become deeply involved in. Children take part in circle time sessions expertly led by the manager, who encourages the children to be curious about fish, using aspirational vocabulary that children remember and use later in their play.
Children develop an understanding of the world around them through first-hand, meaningful experiences. They are fully involved in investigating the look, feel and smell of fish that have been bought from the fishmongers. Children have impressive language skills, as they talk about the gills, eyes, scales and fins of the fish. Children show their knowledge and understanding as they talk. For example, as they look at pictures of buildings from around the world, one child comments,
'the wobbly tower', when looking at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Children demonstrate positive attitudes to learning, and their enthusiasm is infectious.

Still missing for Blue Planet Montessori Nursery School
- Nappies
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £52.00 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.
