A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:45 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 October 2023. Open since 2004, with 71 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
Staff work closely with parents to help children to settle into activities and adjust to nursery routines. Staff give children warm cuddles and use comfort items when children need additional reassurance. Younger children who are new to the setting snuggle into the laps of their key persons as they listen to shared stories or watch their friends play. Some children hear staff from similar backgrounds speak the language that they hear at home. This helps them to develop a sense of belonging.
Children are happy to attend. Staff support their emotional well-being effectively.
Staff consider children's individual learning needs and interests as they implement the curriculum. They provide a broad range of accessible resources that children use to help practise important skills. Staff frequently plan activities that involve sensory experiences and introduce children to a range of natural materials.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend the support for staff even further, so that they better understand how to adapt their teaching to meet the individual learning needs of children n broaden opportunities for children to recognise their backgrounds and languages and to understand what makes them unique.

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.
