A day nursery in Enfield 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 May 2022. Open since 2014, with 70 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 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 are happy and content in this friendly nursery. Staff work hard to get to know the children as they settle in. They provide activities and resources that children are interested in. This helps the children to feel safe and secure. The environment is warm and nurturing and children form strong attachments with their key person. Parents appreciate the care and individual attention their children receive.
Staff ensure that children are motivated to learn by planning stimulating activities that extend and challenge their learning. For example, children are shown how to peel oranges. When they find a 'hard bit' inside, the key person takes the opportunity to teach them about pips and why oranges have them. The outside space is used well to support children's physical development. Staff have high expectations of the children, encouraging them to take controlled risks as they climb and balance on the equipment. Behaviour inside and outside is good.
Children understand the nursery routines and follow instructions well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - ensure behaviour expectations are embedded and that good behaviour is consistently reinforced by staff, during lunchtimes in the pre-school room.

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.
