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 Hammersmith and Fulham
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hammersmith and Fulham 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 play and learn in a positive and caring environment. They have built strong relationships with their peers and adults in the setting. This supports their emotional well-being effectively. Children smile as they arrive and settle quickly into the routine. Staff form warm and caring relationships with children and value them highly as individuals.
Children are confident and motivated to learn. Staff ensure that they take time to get to know children well. They plan exciting activities based on children's interests.
Children enjoy these greatly. Staff find out about home care routines for all children, which helps them settle easily into the nursery. Staff are clear about their expectations and explain why certain behaviours are not acceptable. Overall, children behave well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- make better use of routine activities and strengthen opportunities for children to extend their learning further n review transitions for children to ensure that they are not waiting for long periods.

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.
