A day nursery in Stanmore for children from birth to 5, open 07:00 to 19:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in August 2021, though that is 5 years ago now. Open since 2010, 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 Harrow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Harrow 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 have high ambitions for children's learning. Overall, they plan a curriculum to support children to gain the skills that they will need for their future learning. Children access good resources and equipment in a safe environment.
Children are curious, and explore and investigate. Managers support staff well and over time have reduced the amount of paperwork, so that staff spend more time working directly with children. Babies settle well and develop close bonds with their key person and other staff in the room. Children develop the skills that help them to prepare for their move into the next room. For example, when babies get ready to move to the pre-toddler room, they learn to feed themselves using a spoon and bowl at a table.
Younger children and toddlers enjoy a range of activities. Staff skilfully interact to help them progress through the prime areas of learning, with a particular focus on communication and language. Pre-school children are good communicators. They are confident to share their thoughts and feelings. Children include their friends with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). For example, they use signs to ensure that children with SEND know what is going to happen next.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan routine times of the day more effectively to make sure that staff fully meet children's needs while managing the daily tasks n use what children know and can do, to fully inform teaching more consistently, so that the curriculum is sequenced and children are introduced to new knowledge when they are ready to learn the next step.

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.
