A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 June 2023. Open since 2003, with 51 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 Greenwich
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Greenwich 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 arrive happy and receive a warm welcome. They develop secure, trusting relationships with their key persons. Parents are provided time to settle their child for the day. They leave feeling extremely confident that their children are safe and cared for. Staff have high expectations of children. Children engage in exciting experiences. Toddlers explore dinosaurs in hay, while babies enjoy the sensory experience of brightly coloured foam. Equipment is strategically placed to encourage babies' curiosity and physical skills. Older children make play dough.
They enthusiastically follow the instructions and are proud of their end product.
Children's voices are valued. They form a weekly committee to make decisions on their learning. They vote for activities and stories.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide consistent messages to develop children's understanding of healthy lifestyles and how food, exercise and rest form part of this - build on staff's knowledge to promote language development and understanding, enabling all children to become skilled communicators.

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.
