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 Kensington and Chelsea
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Kensington and Chelsea 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 settled at this welcoming nursery. They arrive with big smiles, eager to start their day. Children are greeted warmly by staff and receive lots of individual attention. This helps them to feel safe and secure. Children's voices and opinions are highly valued by staff. For instance, toddlers vote for their favourite books at story time, and pre-school aged children share their views at
'cabinet meetings'. Consequently, children are extremely confident and display high levels of self-esteem.
Leaders and staff have high expectations and want children to achieve all that they can. Children acquire important skills and information to help them prepare for starting school. For instance, older children display an excellent understanding of feelings and emotions. They express themselves proficiently and are exceedingly aware of their friends' needs. This enables them to play harmoniously together and to solve any disagreements amicably.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - strengthen further the systems to monitor staff practice, to help individual staff identify and address any inconsistencies in their practice n review and improve the organisation of some parts of the daily routines to ensure that children's learning is consistently supported as well as possible.

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.
