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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2023. Open since 2017, with 88 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 Haringey
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Haringey 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
Parents, children and babies receive a friendly welcome when they arrive. Children are eager to play and learn and happily leave their parents and carers. Children form strong attachments with staff, who are supportive and nurturing. Staff have reviewed and improved the key-person system, so that children and babies bond very well when they start. All of which helps support their emotional development.
Babies explore the 'What's in the box activity', which helps promote their curiosity.
They enthusiastically handle pinecones, sea shells, wool balls, musical instruments and straw, helping support babies' sensory development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the focus on improving all staff's knowledge of the areas of learning and understanding of how children learn to enhance their teaching of the curriculum.

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.
